Work of Young Adulthood (1)

These are works from not too long ago. Written mostly during my early twenties (I was born in 1995). This medley is largely comprised of unused ideas for the Dragons of Melgor IP --> https://www.slated.com/films/189628#filmTabs

Work of Young Adulthood (2)

The piece starts with "Mysterious Paths" (2 years ago), transitions into orchestral work for a play in college, then a piece I wrote junior year college. After that is a piece written in high school and reproduced 2 years ago with my old friend. Then ends with a piece from junior year college.

The piece at 1:52 features a live string performance by the SF quartet, then transitions into a full midi orchestrated version.

I'd like to preface this with - most of the orchestral arrangements in this were put together while I was still learning how to mix and arrange, and without access to many sample libraries I have now. It can be a bit dense and monotonous in texture but I was learning.

Work of Young Adulthood (4)

Appalachian Spring

Somewhere With a View

Half of this was written 3 years ago. 24/04/18-19 I returned to it and finished it. 

It alternates between 6/8 (two measures of waltz time) and 8/4.

The meter changes
0:00 - 0:20 6/8
0:21 - 1:26 8/4
1:27 - 2:07 6/8

Another piece in waltz time. Reworking an idea after having listened to the Dune OST. This morning my brother had me listen to "Kiss the Ring". 

Also, the image is a 3D artwork I handmade using Blender.
