High energy music composition, perfect for action sequences like car chases etc. Cinematic soundtrack instruments with heavy percussion focus and rhythms in 7/8, and a tempo around 170BPM.

Intense Car Chase In Big City

Soft and emotional track with a lyrical tone and long chords, to show the grand and beauty of our dear planet earth.

The Beauty Of Mother Earth

A very uplifting and joyful track which starts the story in an idyllic and peaceful village in nature, and then goes on an exciting journey! =)

Inspired by The Lord of the Rings, and its calm and peaceful place "The Shire".

The Joy Of Adventure

Heavy Power, Smoke, Oil and Big Engines. This Metal vs Big Bad Orchestra track will add that extreme bold power to any project! =)

Powerful Metal Engines

Exploration Music Composition - Music that reflects the grand, noble and powerful aspects of exploring new uncharted domains. A big and lush string arrangement with woodwinds adding flare and brass providing some extra low end power. I chose to not include any percussion or rhythmic drive, in order to truly reflect the noble and grand forward momentum on the journey of exploration.

Journey Of Exploration

Majestic Music Composition - Noble, Grand and Deep Music.

Imagine a great discovery of immense magnitude. A discovery that pushes the boundaries of knowledge of the entire human race. One giant leap for mankind! =)

I chose the name "The Final Frontier" inspired by Star Trek, the exploration of space, and discoveries of new worlds and amazing knowledge.

The Final Frontier

Noble Music Composition - Grand, Noble, Elegance, Beauty
- Imagine a scene of the highest importance. A grand hall of kings and high nobility. Everyone standing to the sides of a long red carpet, while the king approaches slowly and gracefully, coming home from winning a great war, but also with grief and respect to all the lost souls. Bittersweet with a touch of noble grace.

Graceful Glory Of Kings

An Epic Battle Music Composition. Heavy focus on big percussion and epic choirs, with a lot of drive coming from many tracks of ostinatos, staccato chords and stabs etc. 

The tempo is dynamically  moving between 128 - 134BPM, and the key is E minor. The minor 2nd movement that comes from the chord change from Em to C7 in the 2nd section of the track really shows the tension of the battle! 

I also have a breakdown section that is like the "calm in the middle of the storm", almost like when they go to slow motion in a movie for sense of depth and reflection, until all hell breaks loose again in the final power chorus! =)

The Chaos Of War

Elegant Music Composition - Slow and Graceful, perfect for luxury feel and high class.

To give the piece a minimalist and graceful character I went for a slow tempo, and wrote it in 3/4 which really adds to the elegant groove.I chose to feature harp and solo strings mainly throughout this piece, because I felt those would portrait the elegance well. 

I also included some light comping on piano, short strings etc. for some added flare. Then I added women choirs, because I feel their vocal range can add that divine and beautiful vibe.

Graceful Motion

Dark Music Composition - I imagined a person waking up in some dark catacombs of pure evil. Trapped like a rat in a maze, trying to get out. But darkness is all around, with monsters and demons lurking in every corner. And the dark lord himself is approaching. The only thing left to do is to raise your sword, bury your fears, and fight your way out!

I used lots of dark tension and atmospheric sounds, and even recorded and sound designed some evil breathing and growling sounds myself. The tonal balance is on the darker range in register for most parts in the composition. The harmony is basically revolving around Gm to Ebm, which with the double chromatic steps adds a lot of dark tension. 

I chose to have the mix very open and dynamic to leave room for air and ambience, except in the final part where the battle with the dark lord is approaching. And yes...the hero failed, and darkness prevailed. Not all stories end happy.

Escape The Silence

Romantic Music Composition - I imaged a young man who is finally getting his chance to show his love for the women of his dreams. Meeting her on a picnic in a beautiful forest in the glorious evening daylight. The grass is soft, the wind is gentle, and the light dances around the beautiful woman in a perfect romantic atmosphere.

The main instruments I focused on were a lush string arrangement, soft gentle oboe and flute, and extra shimmer from harp, pizzicato strings, rhythmic short strings and glockenspiel. The composition is a fairly slow and gentle piece in 90 BPM. And I wrote it in A major, because I wanted that blissful, delightful tone.

Gentle Wind Of Hearts

Epic Music Composition - I envisioned a noble castle with a heroic king ruling the lands with his majestic and legendary powers. I went for a very uplifting and majestic tone, with that epic heroic vibe. 

A full brass section drives the main theme, and it supported by a very focused rhythm on several short articulation strings tracks as well as brass stabs. The chord progressions includes many twists, and made the production quite intensive in time.

Main libraries used: Forzo Modern Brass, Cinematic Strings 2, Afflatus Strings, SWAM woodwinds, Action Strikes, Damage.

Castle Of Glory

Piano Music Composition - For my creative vision for this track I imagined a person playing the piano with such depth, emotion and dedication that he finds himself dragged into the music. To a distant land full of wonders, where he drifts on and on beyond time and space itself. Finding himself falling through new dimensions for every single note...beyond a thousand dreams from home.

The track is based around a piano performance, and backed up mainly by a full string arrangement. I also added a touch of woodwinds, some harp, and bass. Then some rhythmic parts, and soft and noble horns and choirs of the final part.

A Thousand Dreams From Home

Cinematic Beat - My creative vision for this track was to blend the grit, dirt and hardcore style of the city, with an epic heroic and orchestral vibe. Like Batman pumping iron in order to save the world! =)

I started with an old school hip hop drum kit, with some added distorted acoustic drums, and a heavy focus on the brass section. I then opened up the music more in the breakdown with a lush string arrangement. I also used several sounds from the VST plugin Heat Up 3 to add even more of an urban touch to the track.

The Grit Of The City

Ambient Music Composition - Slow, Relaxing and Soft Ambient Music in 70BPM with very soothing sounds and focusing on long notes and chords, deep pads, drones, textures and atmospheric sounds.

My creative vision for this track was waking up in a magical land high up in the skies, and slowly drifting on the sea of clouds. A place of mystic undertones and eerie atmosphere, but yet with a blissful and divine tone, full of hope and curiosity.

Main Instruments & Sounds used: Omnisphere pads and textures, NOVO and FORZO sound design presets, ambient light rhythmic textures, sordino strings, flautando and sul tasto violins, celeste, high and soft flute etc.

The Magic Ocean Above

Epic Trailer Music Composition - My vision for this track was based on my favorite mythical weapon of all time, Mjölnir, the mighty hammer of Thor. I focused a lot of the percussion on big metal hits, anvils etc. as well as hard hitting impacts with a metallic tail in the sound. 

The track is written in C minor, but uses a lot of major chords for the heroic, grand vibe. Lots of attention was given to the main accents with layering to the max for that super focused and powerful rhythm.

The Hammer Of The Gods

My vision for this track was to show the essence of insanity and chaotic vibe among the twisted mind of darkness. The dark lord, and his minions holding a parade in his honor in the massive fires of hell itself!

The composition starts in A minor, but with lots of dissonant chord changes, and rapid modulations of key throughout to really bring forward the chaotic vibe. It is in 4/4 but basically all rhythms are written in triplets which makes the overall groove very loose and open. Compared to strict 4/4 I wanted the evil beasts of hell to be rebels even in the way to march.

The sound palette is very focused on the brass section, and heavier overall on the low end range. There are a lot of layered staccato rhythms and stabs on strings and brass, even syncopated ones, to really get that chaotic yet powerful rhythm across.

A Dark Parade In Hell

Intense Action Music focused mainly on percussion with added rhythmic drive, stabs, and accents from strings and brass etc. Starting in the key of G minor, in 150BPM, with several modulations and key changes, especially in the final chorus parts.

My vision for this track was to convey the powerful army vibe of war, both from the hard stabs and accents with high intensity, and the constant hard slams on the drum groove. I also included a gong, Japanese taiko drums, and sticks from bamboo, because I wanted a bit of an oriental flavor to this battle.
