Dear friends, finally again another release by Quenya Projects.
After a lot of hard work we think we’ve managed to create a real Orchestral version with real voices of Bilitis 2014 (v4). 
This time we’ve done a mass collab with April Gibson (solo vocals), Imperial Choir (backing vocals) and The Orchestra helping us to get a real orchestral sound, although we couldn't exchange / replace all the instruments yet.

We all sincerely hope you’ll love it just as much as we did making this release, and we hope you can also advice us too, or grant us with your comments and critics, it will help us to evolve even more.

The Assignment of Bilitis 2014:

Make a 2014 version of the theme song Bilitis composed by Francis Lai in 1977, and give it your own signature still keeping the main structure.
Replace all synth sounds for orchestral sounds, piano’s and/or Guitars.
Create 4 different (opus) pieces/versions within 1 end production, and make a new intro.
At least 1 part should have a choir doing the lead, for the ending part create a crescendo/percussion style.

Matt and I made 6 different versions, and kept on working to get the sync spot on and still give it our own signature, and tried different tempo’s and instruments, but it just wouldn’t work properly.
Finally after so many different version we managed to come with this version, and I have so much respect for Matt for all the patience he had with me and all the work he has done on this creation.
It was one of the most difficult tasks for us both, especially because I am still not 100%, so a lot depended on Matt’s skills and time, I could only explain him over the phone or emails what needed to be done, and I think he did it splendidly, and his improving skills and patience with me, made it possible for us to finish it.

Orchestral Instruments & Choirs: Matt Baker, The Orchestra & Imperial Choir

Quenya Projects (feat. April Gibson) - Bilitis (2014 v4)

Hi, welcome to my little music blog!
It all started back in middle school. During breaks between classes we would send each other music on our phones with infrared and bluetooth. First it was all pop and rock music, but soon I found out about dubstep and drum and bass. It changed everything for me. I had many mp3 players and ipods full of music. I started going to raves and music festivals. I enjoyed some house, hiphop, techno and even psytrance. It's been a journey and after many years I am still so excited to hear new beats and melodies. I've been constantly reposting my favourite tunes for everyone to enjoy with me! Music just makes me so happy and I am glad if I can make you happy too! Besides partying I listen to music while at work, at home, on the streets or in gym. Basically all the time.
Most of all, I love drum and bass. Mainstream, liquid, rollers, jump up, neuro, jungle... you name it. I have dug deep into the world of drum and bass. This page probably has over 10,000 drum and bass tracks reposted by me that I really enjoyed. A few years ago, my friend invited me to a festival in Belgium, and I fell in love with heavy dubstep. After that, for 2 years straight, I was obsessed with it and even made another page for reposting. I found out about genres like riddim, wave, and trap. At one point I didn't want to know anything about it and deleted the page! Right now this is the only page I use. Maybe one day I will return to drum and bass, but lately I've been feeling crazy and reposting other stuff too. I love good music; I don't care what you call it, and I love to find inspiration in different genres.
For some time I was really into deep house. I love to shuffle (dance). I don't mind some bass house. Slap house? I love that. Club house, G-house, melodic house, electro house, progressive house, and yes, even tech house... whatever. I love house music!
I love big festival music like trap and hardstyle, but I also know what underground techno means. I love hardcore, and sometimes I love chillout.

Have a good day,
Villem

PS: I really love to dive into other genres but the freakin soundcloud 2k following limit is so annoying! Do i really have to make a new account for each genre? I got big love for over 10k DJs.

So If you're interested, contact us.
New materail will follow shortly, we hope you'll enjoy our creations.

We are "The Orchestra", formed with young talents from the conservatoriums in Holland, and we want to get more experience with all the music styles merging it into semi-classical works, with the help of our conductors and producers, each with their own speciality.
We would like to work together (collaborating) with other musicians changing their best music into semi-Symphonic pieces.
We also hope to work together with specific specialists like bass / guitar players and drums / percussion specialists, and we also like to work with vocalists in the near future.

We are now playing some Symphonic-Rock pieces, but we would like to expand our experience to do other pieces as well, and we hope to play some originals very soon.

Please feel free to contact us if you have some ideas or suggestions, we hope you enjoy our creations.
