♫  I never did till recently. I was on YouTube when I came across a duo playing these saucer shaped objects and making the most wonderful sounds. The two musicians are called "Yatao". They are amazing. Three days later I purchased a sample library version of the Hand Pan for use by composers working digitally, that night on the 12th of Jan 2020 I started and completed the title song of this album "Firefly".

SAGA (the Viking album! - released Nov 14 2021)

A new album by Julian G. Holland and Schuyler Horton. In September 2021 Julian and I met in a fantastic music licensing course taught by Michael Elsner. We started composing together and 4 months later we finished the 10 tracks that comprise this new album. A couple tracks have brought tears to the eyes of friends as they listened. Spitfire Audio called the track "Water" "Amazing!" Emmy Award winner Brian Katona, called track 4, La Sonriente "Beautiful Work!"

"Julian Sky" is gorgeous piano and instrumental music to lift the spirit.

Julian Sky - a new album by Julian G. Holland & Schuyler Horton

Epic Dark Hybrid Orchestral Tension Music for Film / production music  / dark-action-film-music inspired by all the science fiction films we know and love.  The album "DAMAGE" is made specifically for use in film.

Inspired by the wonderful sci-fi and action films we all love. This collection is explosive, hard hitting and packed with movement for that favorite tension filled cinematic event. The music pulls the listener into the gritty distant worlds where space and time warp, where derelict space craft drift and hold deep their mysteries, to desolate and jagged landscapes and giant robots. This is music to take you to the edge of imagination.

DAMAGE - Epic Hybrid Orchestral Tension Music for Film - Vol 1 - (Releases July 7 2022)

Dedicated to the memory of my beloved dog Teddy who passed away during the writing of these notes. This was a very difficult track to complete. Teddy was 10 years old, my best friend and his health was failing badly. The night I wrote the draft of this music he passed away in the adjacent room. The following night I finished this piece and it was the saddest time for me to write music as you can imagine. The music is beautiful, sad yet hopeful. I think a little part of his spirit is captured in these notes. He was the best.

When researching the history and stories of Valkyries, I found the following and it inspired this music.:
"Then light shone from Logafell, and from that radiance there came bolts of lightning; wearing helmets at Himingvani [came the valkyries]. Their byrnies were drenched in blood; and rays shone from their spears." (from the poem Helgakviða Hundingsbana I -  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valkyrie )

This is beautiful music. Julian's piano playing is incredible. "Sunrise" is our first completed collaborative track, the first of 10 that comprise our album "Julian Sky" releasing April 12, 2022  https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/schuylerhortonandjuliangholland/julian-sky

Sunrise by Julian G. Holand & Schuyler Horton - Beautiful Piano & Instrumental

Tears? Yes. This brought real tears to the eyes of two friends when they listened after this track had just been finished. Julian's beautiful piano playing is incredible and soulful. When creating our music Julian and I would bounce music ideas back and forth through the internet and this is a piece that worked really well, he'd start something on piano, I'd add something and then we'd go back and forth with critiques and adjustments till both of us were happy. Lots of work but also lots of fun. :-) I think this is a piece of beautiful music that lifts the sprit.




(Sunset - R4.2.2 - Flute Lower On Intro)

Sunset by Julian G. Holland & Schuyler Horton - Beautiful Piano & Instrumental

Epic, gorgeous, beautiful piano & orchestral music. ♫  The idea for this piece started with a really cool pulse rhythm track that Schuyler made up and then Julian laid down the piano line. Schuyler worked his magic with the orchestration. It has a more epic feel than the first 2 tracks on the album with a great horn section sound. For quite a while, we couldn't find an appropriate title until Julian played the piece for his son Cole and Cole said how about "Of My Love" and the name stuck. Thank you, Cole! We hope you all enjoy it! (Can you tell, this was written by Julian ;-)

Love Music! This is about love and that amazing feeling two people can experience when in love.

We hope this brings back a happy memory or a fond romantic feeling of someone special. 
Enjoy. :-)

Gothic Shadows

Storm Front (Dark Cello/Orchestral music)

Track 5 on my new album "Gothic Shadows" released today October 1st, 2020. This a very beautiful, dark and sullen Gregorian choir and orchestral piece.

Exemplar Luminarium (Dark Latin Choir Fantasy Music)

This is the second rock piece I had written and recorded in 25 years. It's a lovely easy going piece with gregorian choir and beautiful female  solo vocals. It's fun! I hope you like it.

Alleluia (Soft Rock and Latin Choir Music)

Emotional and beautifully sad Latin choir piece about the death of Christ as a mothers son.
This narrative focuses on the pain of Mary when she witnesses the death of her son and the utter anguish that she must have felt. At the same time as the pain, there is a voice of comfort, and hope.

Before I began composing, I was reviewing the Latin dictionary to find the words to write a new piece of music, as I came across different words they inspired images and eventually a story in my mind, this is the result.

"Maria Lacrimosa" is from my album "Memories of Distant Past" and Re-released in "Gothic Shadows"

Maria Lacrimosa (Mary Weeps - Latin Choir Music)

Beautiful, peaceful, reflective and thoughtful is how I best describe this meditative music piece.
It is one of those special pieces of music that make you feel good through and through.

I used a Latin choir to sing the words "Om Mani Padme Hum" and pizzicato violin plucking in time to create this reflective and healing music. I used the words of this ancient mantra and gave it a remake with my own music and share that with you here. I really hope you like it.

"Om Mani Padme Hum" is a very very old Buddhist mantra pronounced OHM-MAH-NEE-PAHD-MAY-HUM. The words are beautiful when spoken or sung slowly. It's said the properties of the tones are very healing. 

This track is #10 on my new album "Gothic Shadows" released today October 1, 2020
I hope you enjoy it.

Elven Story Music & Soundscape. A fantasy journey walking through a lost Elven kingdom.  ♫  
...........................................
"O'Child, come, come closer, and I will tell you of my journey through the lost Elven kingdom of Eleandör.

O'Child, this is a tale your ears may not believe, but indeed it is true. When I was young, and, ahh, I am most old now, I ran playing through the ancient forest far far behind our home. As the sun began to set, I became unsure of the path toward home. I wandered, daylight fading, I tried so hard to find the path again, climbing down old moss covered rocks, I fell, though a most foreboding hole, and tumbled, and tumbled, till at last I came to rest...

In the dark, my head aching, my knees bruised, I sat. It seemed forever till my sight returned, but yes at last it did, and I, oh my what my straining sight perceived was magical and fantastic.

Yes, yes, get comfortable, and listen close, and I will tell you of my journey through the lost Elven kingdom of Eleandör."

This is my first hand written piece of music which I wrote some years ago, finally produced and published.   ♫ A huge thank you to my dear friend Ruth Fogg, master cellist and music mentor extraordinaire, for proofing this work after I had finished writing it. This is a piece for harp and cello playing pizzicato notes. I think it's fun, I hope you will to.

JOY (Joyful Harp & Cello Music Celebrating Life ♫)

A long long time ago humans made incredible music by banging things about.  This tribal drumming piece was inspired by our ancestors and how I imagined they might have possibly sounded, perhaps on a more epic scale though.  A friend recently commented this music "sounds like River Dance in the jungle!" Well, you know I love Celtic music, so, I guess I did weave some Celtic rhythm in to this piece after all. I hope you enjoy it.

FYI,  The hand painting for the cover was inspired by the cave paintings in "Cueva de las Manos" or "Cave of Hands" which are some 10,000 years old.

I thought you all might like to read the following I received after I asked Niklas Rempe, an amazing composer to review Raganarok prior to its release:
10 June 2021
Niklas Rempe, Composer, Compass Pictures, Germany, 
Hi Schuyler,
This is actually the first time I've checked SoundCloud for months, and you wrote that message just 5 hours ago. If that isn't great timing, I don't know.
When I listened to the slow, tragic beginning, I already really liked it, but then the buildup at 02:05 started! To be honest, it's about 02:00 a.m. over here, and I didn't think there was something that could keep me awake, but you've really outdone yourself again. This is incredible!
It's quite difficult to describe the middle part - it kind of reminds me of the Harry Potter soundtracks, but at the same time it's unlike anything I've ever heard. It sounds both really powerful and ambient at the same time - I really like it!
And the finale - it's really powerful! It sounds like the hero sacrificing his own life, when the battle is almost lost, which - I guess - kind of fits the theme of the end of the world!
♫

Niklas again thank you for the amazing support!

In this composition I experiment with some beautiful gentle soft strings, brass clusters, dissonant dives, ostinato's, string runs, crazy wild woodwinds, delicate short crescendos, ricochets, harmonics, and some really fun epic percussion. ♫

Ragnarok - (4 part epic orchestral tale 9minutes)(Released June 11)

For 20 years my electronic music and recording equipment sat packed away...

In the spring of 2015 I was given a broken Korg synth, while researching how to repair it I discovered all these wonderful tools for music and recording. I bought Mixcraft Pro Studio and started composing and recording again with the amazing modern tools of today.

In June 2020 I was honored by Acoustica as their "Mixcraft Featured Artist"
In August 2020 I received my first ever music award. To date I've released multiple singles, 11 albums and copyrighted 175 pieces of music. I've had my music performed in concert and watched people weep real tears while listening to my music. All of this since March 2015.

Please join my musical journey and together lets see where we can go, skytunes.me/signup.html

All my best and warmest regards,
