Not all music written by Stephen O'Connell is for film, TV, game or other screen media, and not everything fits the loop-based model of library music. However, the enjoyment of creating music is not limited to a specific style or purpose, so for those works that he writes outside of his screen media projects you will find them here.

You can hear the dry grass, the scrapping metal and the wind through the rafters in every strike of the performer's bow. 

An intensely detailed and intimate library, Spitfire Alternative Solo Strings provide an amazing experience, creating the expressive uniqueness found in the most unconventional stories of independent cinema. It is a pleasure to hear the scratchy rawness of the samples shining through and the many articulations on offer provide a well rounded tool for many different styles.

Weathered Past (2021)

Apricity... Feeling the warmth of the sun in winter. How fitting for the feeling and mood of this track. 

The idea of this track was generated using Kaleidoskye, a new sample library I've developed, free on Pianobook. It is a sparkling, swarm library of delayed guitar textures, a great pad and atmospheric tool for media scoring. Check out the link below. 

KALEIDOSKYE: Link pending availability on Pianobook. Will be updated soon.

Apricity (2022)

Here you go guys a little exclusive mix for the holidays. It started out just being a little edit for social media to really showcase the strings, but the reaction from you all was insane so I decided to drop it. Now it's honestly my favourite version of the song so I really hope you all like it!

This is the second half to a film score I have been working on for a short final year film project called 'Mum and Dad.'

Wolfborn By BrunuhVille

A really short piece of orchestral music which was to be set to spoken word (but was a bit too much, haha), concerning how something seemingly so innocent can be so evil, and how one can break oneself free out of it. 4/21/2011
