Orchestral Remixes

Based on the Planescape: Torment main theme, by Mark Morgan.

Planescape: Torment Remix - 'The Gates of Sigil'

Little Big Adventure (also known as Relentless) is one of my all-time favourite games. It was perhaps the first game I completed fully as a kid - something I was immensely proud of. The music by Phillippe Vachey is pretty timeless, and I don't know if I've done his theme justice here - but I hope I've given this gaming gem a good showing. 

Little Big Adventure Remix - 'Twinsen of Twinsun'

'Warriors of Destiny' an Ultima V Orchestral Remix. Original theme by Kennith Arnold. Listen to it here: https://youtu.be/4T8wsWOANqs.

If I had to choose my all-time favourite RPG, Ultima V would have to be it. I borrowed a copy of U5 for the Commodore (128), from my neighbour one summer in the early 90s. It came complete with a cloth map, and a metal codex coin, which was so damn cool. 

I played this game to death. Mind you, I didn't really know what was going on, but I was happy enough to wander around Brittania, camping with my bros Shamino and Iolo, and visiting all the creepy / wonderful towns, and their creepy / wonderful citizens.

The original score by Kennith W. Arnold is an excellent example of a compelling soundtrack made with a limited sound palette. The original main theme can be heard here: https://youtu.be/4T8wsWOANqs 

Enjoy! And ... if you like it, share it! :D
 

Warriors of Destiny (Ultima V Orchestral Remix)

A short cover of Michael Giacchino's amazing theme to the 2009 Star Trek reboot (and subsequent films). I built a big new orchestral template in Sonar, and I thought I'd have a crack at the theme to see how it (and my computer) handled - I'm quite happy with it! I didn't actually listen to the theme before I made this, so I think there will be a few wrong notes here and there. Just live with it, guys.

Using samples entirely from the Hollywood Orchestra Gold libraries from EastWest.  Enjoy, and then go listen to the ACTUAL score, which poops all over this. 

Star Trek Main Theme (Orchestral Cover)

'Echoes' - a Destiny orchestral remix based on the original theme by Marty O'Donnell.

I made this over a year ago as a trial of a recently purchased string library (Hollywood Strings). It's simple, with some basic piano, synth and sustained strings - hopefully it's effective :).

Enjoy!

'Echoes' - a Destiny Remix

A cover of the Stargate SG-1 theme, to test out my new orchestral template... but originally suggested as a dare by a friend of mine. 

Original theme is by David Arnold, and was arranged for the TV show by Joel Goldsmith. It's a hard one to pull off with MIDI instruments; it's not quite there, but you can only do so much ;).

Stargate SG-1 Main Theme (Cover)

A remix of Michael Hoenig's amazing themes from the original Baldur's Gate computer game. Seeing as the remake is on it's way, this remix now seems poignant :D.

Enjoy!

Hero of the Heartlands (Baldur's Gate Remix)

Finally - a new game remix! I came to play 'Beyond Good & Evil' in the last few years - but I truly loved it, and I'm even more pumped for the upcoming sequel. The original themes composed by Christophe Heral are beautiful, and I thought I'd try my own little arrangement to celebrate them. 

I hope you enjoy it! You can download it from my website here: http://bit.ly/2v7Kmvx

Excelsior (An Avengers Re-Orchestration)

A homage to one of my favourite gaming series of all time. Matt Uelman's 12-string guitar theme as you entered Tristram for the first time perfectly set the scene in Diablo 1, and later iterations saw the music become even creepier and epic! I'm not sure if I've been able to capture the majesty of the originals, but I sure enjoyed making it.

Diablo: Re-Orchestrated

**PLEASE NOTE: This re-orchestration uses themes by Alan Silvestri, and as such is NOT free of copyright. You may use the re-orchestration in your projects if you like, but you use it at your own risk.**

After seeing Captain Marvel recently, I'm pretty hyped for Avengers: Endgame. Soo... here's an orchestral overture for AE using original themes by Alan Silvestri.

It starts off a little mournful (where Infinity War left us), but then kicks into avenging mode by about 2:15. 

The mockup was mostly using EW Hollywood Orchestra, with some Tina Guo cello at the beginning, and some Oceania choir at the end. 

Hope you enjoy it! 

I might also release the MIDI for this one soon - hopefully those interested can learn something from my programming?

Overture for 'Avengers: Endgame'

🌌 'One Eye on the Stars' - Star Trek: Picard - Re-orchestrated 🌌

I'm really getting invested in the new Picard series - mostly because the nostalgia is strong. The main theme by Jeff Russo is quite nice, but I thought I'd have a go at making a more bolder version. Not sure if I succeeded, but it was fun nonetheless :D. 

I included some more direct lines to the older Star Trek themes - the opening few notes are quite iconic - particularly for those fond of 'The Next Generation'. 
 
Made with EW Hollywood Orchestra, Hollywoodwinds and Tina Guo Cello.

'One Eye on the Stars' -- ST: Picard Re-orchestrated

An epic re-orchestration of the main themes from Daft Punk's score for Tron: Legacy. The recent news about Daft Punk breaking up spurred me to make this, as their score for has Tron: Legacy has really influenced me over the last decade. 

The score is a masterclass in the blending of synth and orchestra, and some big props also have to go to Joseph Trapanese, who worked with Daft Punk as the orchestrator (and who also worked with M83 on his score for Oblivion - another score I'm super-fond of!).

I've worked in a few themes from the film, and I've listed them below with timecodes:

00:00 -- 'Overture'
02:02 -- 'The Grid'
03:02 -- 'Recognizer' (mixed with a little 'The Game Has Changed / Rinzler')
04:27 -- 'Adagio for TRON'
05:14 -- 'Son of Flynn' (plus a little bit of ad-lib...)
06:25 -- 'Tron: Legacy' theme, one last time!

It's hard to do justice to such a wonderful score, but it was super-fun nonetheless. Enjoy!

RIP, Daft Punk! ❤️
