For my second project, I set out to write something with more action, a hero/adventure theme if you will, and I am extremely happy with the result! This was a very ambitious project as I have no classical music training, just lots of love for soundtracks and a good ear. This piece contains over 24 different instruments that I had to write for.

Composed by Jean-Michel Plante
Made in Reaper DAW with Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra Core VST.

Into the Storm - Jean-Michel Plante - BBCSO Core #OneOrchestra

Altama Energy Ad 2023

Altama Energy TFusion HydrogenPlus - Daymar Rally 2953 Ad

This composition is about coming home after being away for a long time. For this project, I used a midi-keyboard to actually perform the instrumentation myself as opposed to drawing notes on a screen. As the project started taking shape, I started drawing inspiration from the emotions I got when I saw my family for the first time in over a year during the Covid pandemic. My wife imagined a soldier coming home from an old war. Tell me what it makes you think of!

Coming Home - Jean-Michel Plante - BBCSO Core #OneOrchestra

This is a revisited version of my first ever orchestral composition. I practically rebuilt this track from the ground up using the BBC Symphony Orchestra Core VST library instead of the various free VSTs I had originally used.

Sunrise to Sunset

Sunrise to Sunset - Jean-Michel Plante

Self-taught musician, I got my first guitar at the age of 17 when my parents saw my grades were slipping at school and thought expressing myself through music might help. I have since taken up drumming, playing bass and more recently fiddling around with a keyboard.
I love mixing probably more than playing, and always try to make sure my songs are the best quality I can make them. Obviously you will notice some significant improvements in audio quality from my first recordings to my last ones as I get better at it over the years.
Thanks for listening!
