Theme idea for an original science fiction adventure series I was writing and tinkering with over the last few years.  Had a concept for the theme a while back, finally decided to do something with it.

The Lost Star

Titans Falling

This track was done around 2008, and the instruments I had at the time weren't as high quality as my new stuff.  Back then I had to kind of jury-rig a bunch of sounds together to get the sound I wanted.  Anyway, a dramatic score for a fantasy/sci-fi story I've been developing for a while, which I was going to turn into a game.  Kept it on the backburner though because I thought it might make for a better movie some day.  Or comic.  Yeah... I dunno what I'm doing with it anymore :P

The Last Dream

This is an orchestral/electronic remix of two songs from the Metroid series:  The Kraid's Lair theme from the original game, and Red Soil theme from Super Metroid.  It's kind of a cinematic styled piece, with strings, brass, and choir.  I hope you like it :)

The Crimson Depths (Metroid Remix)

Metroid Cinematica is a full-length fan album composed by Sam Dillard which envisions the music of the Metroid series as a film score, blending symphonic and electronic elements into a rich cinematic soundscape, from the classics on NES and Super Nintendo to the recent Prime trilogy.  Return to planet Zebes and beyond in the definitive "epic" score inspired by the legendary music from Kenji Yamamoto's Metroid soundtracks!

Available October 2014 on Loudr, iTunes, and more

Deep Blue Sea Monsters- Original Music

My old  "Kraid's Lair/Red Soil"  remix remains one of my most popular songs, and I revisited the theme again for Metroid Cinematica.  This time with a more vast and bleak post-apocalyptic feel, with a fusion of the Bryyo theme which I thought worked well together.  Metroid Cinematica is a full-length symphonic/electronic album released in 2014.   http://www.samostudios.com

Sands Of Fate (Gerudo Valley)- Zelda Cinematica

This is the Maridia remix I did for Harmony Of A Hunter: 101% Run.  Something pretty dark, mysterious, and ominous.  Mostly an orchestral piece with some electronic accents and textures.  For the best experience with this song, I also created a 3D animated music video, which can be found here:
