Hurry Hurry Hurry! Another revisit to Gordon's classic theme. 

Gordon's original theme really captures the personality and speed of an express engine, the triumphant trumpet like lead accompanied by these intense rapid 'chuffs' that are provided by the LM-1. Mike and Junior really knew what they what to do with this one, it's like they provided a grand synth orchestra!

Gordon The Big Express Engine's Theme (Series 1)

Here's a 'what if' piece of music, The Storm Theme from Series 3's Percy's Promise but remixed in the style of Series 2, using the classic synth sounds.

The Storm Theme (Series 2?)

I posted this on Twitter a few years ago, and someone recently wanted me to upload it. So here it is!

There are some changes to it, but not a lot. There is also a bonus theme at the end which I made a short while ago.

Hope you enjoy!

Thomas and Stepney - Custom Score

Got commissioned to do this which was smart idea by the client, Toby's theme in 'Time for Trouble' was incredibly short, so I was requested to extend it almost into the length of it's original Series 1 counterpart.

Toby the Tram Engine's Theme (Series 3 - Full Version)

A blend between the sad ditti from 'Cows' with motifs of Edward's Theme thrown in.

Sadward

An extended remix of Diesel's Theme, I decided to add an extra verse and some instrumentation. The strings that come in the 2nd verse are something I've had in my head for ages and I've always wanted to remix that in. 

Diesel's theme is known for having an Arabian/Latin vibe to it but instead I thought I'd add some Indian elements with the Sitar as I thought it suited the vibe of the theme. Plus, the castanets were a catchy touch.

Devious Diesel's Theme - Extended(Series 2)

A commission idea from Lionelkid456, who requested a mashup of Thomas' Series 1 Theme and Rosie's Theme.

Pink & Blue

Even without the lead instruments, Percy's Theme still bops.

it's been a little while hasn't it? This was very much a last minute song put together at a pace I've never worked at before, but the challenge was a welcome one.

The Sounds Of Sodor

A sequel to the Series 2 Extended mix now in Proteus laced glory! This one was more fun to experiment with as you can play around with the different instruments of the Proteus 2 and add in little motifs and harmonys you wouldn't get away with, using the synth sounds.

Bill And Ben's Theme - Extended (Series 3)

A recent idea by Danthe25man who commissioned this, Henry never really had a proper theme in Series 5 apart from a short motif used over Gordon's Theme in 'Thomas & the Rumours'.

Henry the Green Engine's Theme - Series 5 Remix

The more intense version of the Runaway Theme heard in 'Dirty Objects'.

The Runaway Theme 2 (Series 1)

The Runaway Theme but with our favourite 'O Face' sting introducing us before Gordon nearly commits homicide on Percy.

'Get Out of My Way!' (Series 1)

Thought I'd take a crack at a classic one, probably one the more 'ambient' pieces of Series 1 but the cabasa makes it sound so busy at the same time, such a nice nod to the sound of Thomas' pistons.

Thomas the Tank Engine's Theme (Series 1)

The unique variant of Henry's Sad Theme as heard in the opening of the Series 1 episode, Coal.

Henry's Sad Theme 2 (Series 1)

A commission by TwywnWharf2002 who had a cool idea of layering Edward's Series 2 Theme with the Proteus 2 Instruments, similar to how some of the themes were in Series 3 before everything became purely orchestral with the exception of Daisy's Series 4 Theme.

Edward's Series 2 Theme (Series 3 Remix)

Im very proud of this theme because i always wanted to make it and i never knew that this would become my best theme. I also made 2 variants just in case :)) anyway i hope you enjoyed it!

Misty Island Main Theme | Jupiter style

Here's a swing jazz arrangement I have done of Bertie's theme. This was an especially fun one to make. Enjoy friends!

Bertie The Bus (Arranged By Headmaster Hastings)

An original composition made for a small engine, could either be for a character or montage music as the engine travels down the line.

A potential 'what if' take on a theme for BoCo. While there was never a full theme for BoCo, the short fanfare heard in the beginning was played twice as a motif to signify BoCo's grand entrance and a strong and majestic diesel engine.
 In his debut in 'The Diseasel', the piece of music that plays is an upbeat, bouncy and playful melody that fits well with the footage of Bill and Ben going back and forth causing BoCo to feel nauseous. 

With this piece, I have taken that instrumental and slowed it down, using instruments that what most fans would symbolise the sound of Series 2, with synth brass leads, heavy strings, woodwinds and the iconic sound of the Linn LM-1.
