Indila - Dernière Danse (piano cover)

Indila - Derniere Danse (Violin Version)

Flutist Leslie Lewis in Robert Cunningham's Lament for Flute and Piano, with the composer at the piano.  This piece was inspired by the intense dramatic style of early Baroque opera and by the musical ideas of the Florentine Camerata in which that new genre was rooted.  It opens with an impassioned recitative in the flute, accompanied by continuo-like chords on the piano.  A sorrowful aria follows.  Later passages interweave the flute and piano melodies in an expressive duet.  Composed in 1991 (revised 2016) but not performed publicly until May 2016.  Recorded on March 25, 2016.

The score for this work is available at https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/21549135.

Believer - Imagine Dragons (Piano/Instrumental Cover)

This is a track I did for a challenge in a Facebook Group called Composer Club. We had to come up with just 20 seconds of music representing the 4 elements. EDIT : This track eventually evolved into my Star Wars themed track "The Conflict Within"  https://bit.ly/2rU6g18

Composer Club 20 Second Challenge - EARTH WIND FIRE WATER

This is a track I did for a challenge in a Facebook Group called Composer Club. We had to come up with just 30 seconds of music representing "SEASONS". I chose to do all four seasons at once because I thought it would be more of a challenge to try and cram them all in 30 seconds. The musical order is Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter.

For A Moment, to understand, and see.
Thank you Philip, for beautiful pianocomposition for these words, thank you for this moment.

For A Moment

A door wide open
I had never seen before
in the light
of sparkling water streams
for a moment
eyes blink open
eyes like the ocean
in and out a shore
light and golden sea breaths

for a moment 
eyes blink open

For A Moment. ClassicalGlass & Oddrun Eikli

I created a theme for the mystery, Sherlock Holmes.  This piece has a more modern theme while trying to keep the industrial and bouncy feel based off of the BBC's 2010-2017 TV series original score.

Sherlock Holmes Theme

The "July Challenge" of the FB Composer Club required us composers to come up with a theme music for Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character that I've never thought of writing any music to.   I based my composition on the characters portrayed by Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman in the BBC series "Sherlock" (specifically in the episode "The Abominable Bride"). Quick, intelligent, witty, brute, obnoxious, arrogant, funny and JUST... Those are the quality that I'm trying to portray in my composition for these 2 legendary fictional protagonists.

Sherlock (FB Composer Club July Challenge / fan-made conceptual score)

Sands of Time is Epic cinematic composition dominated by the symphonic orchestra while also featuring solo harp and hybrid elements. It carries a melancholic feel with emotional and touching moments. 

The score starts off with a slow orchestral intro dominated by staccato pattern played by brass and woodwinds sections. Soon after harp joins in leading the song into the main theme. The score shifts into more intensive mood halfway through with the introduction of percussion elements. Song ends with modulation of the main theme with the entire orchestra playing to the full power.

The score is suitable for cinematic trailers, epic movie scenes, documentaries, multimedia projects, video games, promotional and advertising projects.

This a rough idea I have for the character of Sherlock Holmes. It was for a challenge for the Composer Club Facebook group.
