Vsco Test

Orchestra Test 2

Sweet Dreams (Pixel's Lullaby)

The second to last nocturne that was published of Chopin is the first of which I have learned. Some give it the nickname 'Reminiscence', and although I don't like that title too much, it gives an idea of what the piece feels like.

I didn't hear any glaring mistakes, but I left some awkwardly loud notes in to give it a bit more authenticity, after all that's what makes this a human performance.

I used my Yamaha DGX-650 digital piano, to record the track on Reaper, and used the VST 'VSCO 2 Community Edition', licensed under a Creative Commons 0 license (i.e. no copyright applicable).

Chopin - Nocturne No. 20 in C-sharp minor (Op. posth)

Random piece I wrote with VSCO Orchestra. It started as a guitar riff. I may write some more.

Orchestral Untitled 001

we're off on an adventure! Here's an overture foreshadowing themes used in a game or film's story. I primarily used Versilian's Symphonic Chamber Orchestra 2 with a little of SONiVOX's Orchestral Companion instruments and Embertone's trumpet and friedlander violin.

Adventure Overture! (Orchestral)

A Mysterious Journey to somewhere, not quite sure, but definitely full of excitement and glory for those who take the journey with me!

First track created using Logic Pro X and using sounds from Garritan Personal Orchestra 5, Versillian Studios Chamber Orchestra 2, and various sounds already available in Logic Pro X.  Any feedback would be great!  Hope everyone enjoys it!

A Mystic Journey

De las manos

Kurt M. Landré 

Born in the dimming haze of the latter half of the late 20th Century, Landré's musical fate was sealed even before his birth when his mother began pushing the family piano around the living room in an attempt to induce a fruitful end to her 10-month pregnancy. Landré apparently got the message and found his way into this world the very next day, with piano moving lessons following just a few years later. 

He was afterwards raised on a steady musical diet of Bach, Beatles, Beethoven, Chicago, Rossini, Three Dog Night, and the raw, pure horror of live, dueling accordion music (and yes, there were many fatalities). After his first musical forays into classical piano and cello, he discovered synthesizers in the mid 80's and his tastes began rapidly migrating from New Wave, to Punk, to modern classical composition.

Landré's formal education consisted of stints at Pacific Lutheran and the University of Oregon, where he annoyed all his professors with a continual and unyielding insistence on parallel fifths in every composition. Finally, in a desperate attempt to get himself barred from all things musical, he began playing Post Pop Punk and quickly devolved into a cruel Pacific Northwest caricature of an over-caffeinated, rim-spectacled, folk-strumming-three-chord monstrosity. He is most famous for having blackened the jubilant mood of a crowd of over 1000 people after striking only a single, well-timed chord on a poorly tuned mandolin.

Having fully alienated all popular music lovers worldwide, Landré returned to his roots and began composing music for entirely virtual orchestras, and quickly established himself as a demo composer, creating works for sound library companies such as Impact Soundworks, CL-Projects, Samplism, Lux Nox, Versilian Studios, and others. 

He is currently the House Composer for Bela D. Media, but can be still found attempting to strangle and torture the joy and happiness out of numerous acoustic instruments.
