I've been working on this since like August - definitely the one song I've spent the most time working on. And it's pretty great!

Solace

Sometimes there are projects that take a little eternity. They'll get started, dropped and picked up again in a frequent manner and the as time passes by, you'll start to doubt that they're ever completed. 

Dreams of Flight is a piece that I started thinking about in 2008, I wanted to challenge myself writing a Symphony piece of extraordinary proportions containing powerful themes and clever orchestration, all packed into a Hollywood worthy production. The subject was storytelling through music, something a few listeners would often highlight in my arrangements. Filmmusic needs to tell a story after all, otherwise it could just be described as background music. I started this piece with a piano suite and wrote the first themes in 2009, when I actually began writing the track in 2010, I started to work on a feature film, marking my entrance into the commercial world of scoring. Due to these forthcoming commercial project the progress of this piece started to become negligible, there were times where I laid it down for half a year, picked it up again only to drop it again one week later. Luckily my experience and technical possibilities have evolved greatly during that time which enabled me to lift the quality of this track into new heigths. However, getting back into the piece after half a year wasn't easy sometimes and often left me with a headache.

The piece is portraying all sorts of excitements one could get from orchestral music. You'll spot some obvious influences like Powell's Dragon score as well as nods towards Zimmer and Alan Menken which have always been my favorites. However, with this piece I was aiming for a signature sound, with thematic quality high enough that one could easily mistake it for a suite to an animated movie. This piece was supposed to be used for my application at Berklee, but knowing what they charge composers I'm currently rather doubtful that I'll make an entrance there, it's just too expensive.

Dreams of Flight contains 4 movements, similar to a symphony but not following the rules excactly. So I want to use this term with caution.

1. Once upon a Nighttime

The piece makes a calm start with woodwind solos and light orchestration. This part was inspired by Irish Folk music, putting a strong storytelling aspect into the piece. It ends with a buildup that hints at the main theme.

2. Building upon Dreams

A typical montage arrangement introducing the main theme and its continuation. The second part was obviously influenced by Powell's Dragon score, ending with the "musical line of awesomeness", rowing a line of exciting themes.

3. Journey

At this point the piece will calm down and move back to a similar sound as heard in the first movement with the focus on wind solos. In the second part it goes back to the familiar montage sound, but with a lesser presence focusing on explorationary aspects. It ends with a buildup towards the last movement.

4. Limitless

The most powerful and epic movement, throwing everything around that was introduced in the former movements. Several ups and downs here with the focus to never run out of energy. It ends with the maintheme similar to the second movement.

This piece would've never been possible without the great players who performed in this piece. I'd like to thank everyone who had the patience and time to record for this piece!

Dreams of Flight

SORRY. Final mix I promise. I wish I could replace a track without being a premium member. 

It's lately the moon seems so boring, so dreary
My webbed feet are weary, so bring me to Blue

Comets can't compare to the vast view
The big Blue calls my name now, she's speaking to me

Though lately the big Blue seems hostile and a bit scary
My foreign figure is frightful, but I'm afraid..

So scared of all those bipeds, they're monsters
The big Blue needs more time now, some time to grow,
Before I leave here 

I'll need some kind of disaster
A guaranteed extinction
But I won't need any help,
They'll off themselves

The moon's stuck in stillframe, it's lonely and freezing
Maybe that near star will warm me and love me come morning
Should it fail, I'll know the thing to do:
Fly to Blue

Unfinished Business (Harmony of a Hunter 101% Run)

Hey hey. Been a while since I uploaded anything here.

This is a song I've been working on for the past months. My idea was to have it tell a story about someone who uses fantastical dreams to escape his boring and depressing reality. The song is very dynamic; it starts off a bit rocky, and it morphs into a very adventurous and uplifting piece, before ending on a somewhat sad note.

I used East/West libraries for the majority of instruments you're hearing here, with some help from Omnisphere for some ambience and mallet sounds.

I hope you enjoy!

Also, big shoutout to Crispuga for drawing the beautiful artwork you're seeing as the song icon! Check him out on Instagram @crispuga.art:
