Cain

A new work, pretty heavy and aggressive once again. I love string staccato ;)

Titan

An older orchestral piece, with a serene, calm and warm feeling, with a melancholic touch.

Things more important

A brand new orchestral piece, in an epic hollywoodeque style. Enjoy!

Karvuus

Here is a brand new track, featuring some Eb Clarinets/Bass Clarinet Action. It's a rather slow/mysterious piece, which was written for the use in a video game soundtrack. Enjoy!

Nightfall

Very Epic Hollywoodstyle Gamescore. For more Tracks visit: http://www.soundclick.com/sebastianbreitenbach

Bow before me, for I am your Imperator

A quite mysterious piece, featuring mainly woodwinds in orchestral contect and evoking pictures of victorian-era mansions, all with squeaky doors and strange howling winds. After the rather calm polytonal beginning in lydian mode there is a majestic minor brass/percussion hit, which makes it really suitable for cutscenes or in-game scripted events, where the evil antagonist - or his hideout - could be shown. A short interlude follows with harp and violin/flute/bassoon/celesta melody, which makes for a really eerie feeling, since this orchestration isn't that typical. The following theme is repeated two times, firstly with 16th triplets harp arpeggios and swelling woodwinds and strings, secondly in a more trimphant fashion with trumpets and trombones.  Once more an interlude follows, which seems perfectly fit to show large evironments such as planets. The B Theme of the piece has a really great forward drive, and is reminescent to magical flying scenes. It features a constant staccato pulse of trombones and the melody is variation of Theme A. The rest of the piece is a variation of this theme, until it merges with all the other themes and slowly fades away.

Scrooping Old Mansion

A dark yet melodic orchestral piece, featuring a Bernard Herrmann like Studio Orchestra.

The Night Before

This is a slow, evocative string chamber orchestra piece + Piano. It has a certain mysterious sound to it. Hope you like it!

Celestial Moonlight

This is a short 80s TV Show Style theme. Embrace the nostalgia of eating cereal and watching cartoons on saturday morning. The melody is catchy, a bit cheesy, but what's not to like about this? Give it a listen! :)

Nika Superstar (Fictional 80s TV Show Theme)

Do you remember those nights where you try to beat the last level on your NES, staying up all night and finally succeeding? This track captures the feeling after the tension is gone and your somehow left on your own. It features a distinct 8bit sound, though not really bound by hardware limitations. It's a bit sad, but also content and pretty simple, yet effective.

Another Level

Wow, I can't believe this track is already 7 years old. It is a dreamy, melancholic, almost fatalistic piece, reminiscent of the romantic epoch. It's not overly technical, but it has its complicated parts. Harmonicwise its rather tame, I'd say.

Bagatelle h-Moll

Mazurka in As-Dur

A strange, mysterious piece of music, which perfectly captures the atmosphere of a Cavern/Underground Level. It even has a slight "Old Hollywood" esprit, tipping the hat to one of the greatest film music composers of all time, Bernard Herrmann. It starts off with two harps, playing corresponding up and downwards arpeggios, but "sans harmonique" (harmonics, overtones). A vibraphone joins in with the motor turned on, so that you really can hear those oldschool vibes (no pun intended). All this reminds me of water, slowly dripping form the ceiling, from myriads of stalactites. Slowly the vibes builds up a melody and the harpes begin to interwine their arpeggios. All while that is happening you hear some celli pizzicati in the background. At 1:16, there's a climax, the melody goes up in ambitus and dynamic and one harp switches to glissandi-like arpeggios. The chords itsself are quite exotic, nothing here sounds "usual" or like "I already heard that a thousand times".

Aside from the obvious cave level, it would also fit some barren scenes quite well, be it an ice or a stone desert, even a eerie swamp setting.

Cavity

This is a synthwave track, a bit harder at the beginning, but ending a pretty poppy/melodic part. Hope you like it!

Dünster

This is a bleak and dark orchestral theme, done for a canceled WW1-style strategy game. It has a lot of character and minimcs the horrors in the trenches, but in a rather lyrical way, no epic/bombastic stuff here, in a lot of parts piano arpeggios and flute and sparse orchestration. Hope you like this one!
