Vangelis

George Frideric Handel (1685–1759) was a great German composer, famous for his operas, concertos, and oratorios (church music). One of his most famous compositions is "Sarabande in D Minor". "Sarabande" means "slow dance" and is one of my favorite music parts. This is my first effort to make a remake of a classical work, using both ambient and chillout elements.

This track is is part of an ongoing  SoundCloud collaboration with accomplished keyboard player and Prog Rock enthusiast Dave Zeitlin.

Dave had worked on an outline track for this with fairly ominous chords building into the actual storm section. It did sound quite stately rhythmically and in my head I could hear more of a driving pulse to reflect an oncoming storm and the storm itself.  The addition of more of an Eastern pulse utilising Darbuka and Rik in the early part and Davul in the ending added the feeling I was looking for. 

Some orchestral brass was added to the start of the storm section which gave it a bit of majesty and I also added a bit of string ensemble too.  I've often used the 'Eduardo Tarilonte', Shevannai vocal VST library in my music. The pure tones of 'Lara Ausensi' are perfect to add an element of mystery to a piece like this. 

Oud (a Middle Eastern short-neck lute) and Ney ( Persian End Blown Flute) add melodic interest and colour to the early part of this track. Use is also made of a Kanun (Qanun) a Middle Eastern stringed instrument, a type of zither.  This appears just before the storm hits. 

Dave had already supplied a solo section and I added some early electric guitar that morphed into more of a supporting riff when his solo started. It worked well that I could bring together electric and synth at the end of the storm alongside a final slightly dissonant chord on the brass. 

The overall piece is very much a weird hybrid of Eastern influences, Prog Rock and Orchestral instrumentation. I think we managed to capture some energy in this piece ... I  hope others think we did too. :-)

Lost But Won - Hans Zimmer - Rush (2013) OST

This is a new Vangelis cover created by me. Original music was composed in 1976 for the conceptual album Albedo 0.39 about space. It causes so good feelings to listen that was included in soundtrack of the Cosmos series by Carl Sagan. Since then, it became a classic that only some persons just don't know. I hope you like my version!

Hi,

It's been a while since i've uploaded anything so i thought i'd do something special.

A day before the film is released, i thought i would share this cover of 'An Ideal of Hope' with you all. I believe on the official soundtrack release it is actually called 'What are you going to do when you are not saving the world?'

As with the Inception 'Time' cover, i didn't want to mess around with the arrangement very much and i wanted to keep the dynamics close to the original, particularly for the final impact! 

All the audio here is recorded by me and the rest was programmed with sample libraries. 

I really hope you enjoy this cover and the film when it is released!

I would really appreciate any feedback you would like to share with me.

Cheers!

P.S. Download this for best quality!
