Vs Emperor Ing (Zack Parrish)

In "Arrival," the final DLC for Mass Effect 2, Shepard will travel to the edge of the galaxy, rescue an undercover agent and discover the truth about the Arrival. Admiral Hackett, a favorite of the series, will be playing a prominent role in the new mission. This exciting final mission will act as the bridge for the new upcoming game, ME3.

ME2 Arrival The Mass Relay

This was a solo track I completed for the Harmony of a Hunter 101% Run album. You can listen to it all at www.shinesparkers.net/

Remembering Who I Am

This is an orchestral/electronic remix of two songs from the Metroid series:  The Kraid's Lair theme from the original game, and Red Soil theme from Super Metroid.  It's kind of a cinematic styled piece, with strings, brass, and choir.  I hope you like it :)

The Crimson Depths (Metroid Remix)

Metroid Cinematica is a full-length fan album composed by Sam Dillard which envisions the music of the Metroid series as a film score, blending symphonic and electronic elements into a rich cinematic soundscape, from the classics on NES and Super Nintendo to the recent Prime trilogy.  Return to planet Zebes and beyond in the definitive "epic" score inspired by the legendary music from Kenji Yamamoto's Metroid soundtracks!

Metroid Cinematica Preview

This is a track Erik Scerri and I made for the HUGE Harmony of Heroes project, a fan-arrangement album filled with 101 arrangements of Smash Bros tracks! Check it out here.

This here is primarily an arrangement of the Encounter theme in Metal Gear Solid. You'll also hear the Caution Mode theme from MGS3 in the intro and even the MGS2 theme later! The voice was by a good friend of mine, Benjamin Gatt, and the guitar at the start is from the talented Pontus Lundén. Fun fact; the alert sound in here, despite sounding like the effect used in the games, is entirely original! It took quite a bit of research and playing around to get right, but I managed to emulate it through the use of brass.

Anyway, this was an adventure of a track to make. Echo and I went on a HUGE music-making marathon to finish this. We used FL Studio to make it, with various plugins, including East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Hollywood Brass, Hollywood Strings, Stormdrum 2 and Pianos Gold. We also used Omnisphere, Vengeance samples, Cinebrass and VOXOS.

We wanted to make a track that not only appeals to Super Smash Bros fans but to Metal Gear fans. Being a passionate Metal Gear fan myself, I couldn't help but add little nods to the series like the voice lines being actual script from Metal Gear Portable Ops, and of course the alert sound which we took a while to perfect. Above all, we wanted to emulate what it feels like to get discovered by the enemy in-game. The tension right before getting found, the way the excitement is heightened after the enemy calls for backup, etc. Our aim was not just to arrange Encounter, but to make it FEEL like an encounter. It's a huge track, clocking in at exactly 7 minutes (or rather 420blazeit seconds) and we hope you enjoy it!

76 This Is Snake

Here we have an orchestral Song of Storms arrangement featuring Christopher Woo with his excellent viola performance! There's also Serenade of Water and Saria's Theme featuring slightly in the track as cameos.

For this I used East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Hollywood Brass, Hollywood Strings, Stormdrum 2, Ra and Pianos Gold - basically my whole East/West collection. I also used royalty free sound effects and textures from Omnisphere.

I wanted to emulate a storm over here (if it wasn't obvious). However, rather than just go the obvious route of simply adding sound effects, I felt like the instruments should also reflect the storm. You'll hear wind whistling with the music at the start, a piano rising and falling in chromatic scales to emulate wind, timpani playing alongside thunder, and overall a dynamic listening experience that represents both the calmness and calamity of a storm. I really hope you enjoy it!

For a total change in direction, have some jazz/swing! This is an arrangement of the Donkey Kong Congo Jungle theme, with cameos of the Tiki Tak Tribe theme from Donkey Kong Country Returns and the Overworld theme from the franchise too. This would not have been made possible without the REAL INSTRUMENTS and amazing jazz improvs by these extremely talented people:

Live Instrument Coordinator - Samuel Hébert
Trumpet - Félix Rheault
Flute and Tenor/Alto Saxophone - Alexandre Beaudry Corbeil
Trombone - Jérôme Boisvert
Acoustic Guitar - Félix Blackburn and Jonathan Gjertsen

Apart from those instruments, I used East/West Stormdrum 2 VERY heavily in this track, along with Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Ra, Omnisphere and royalty free animal sound effects.

This is a total departure from my usual style but since I love the original track I just had to arrange it. Thanks to camoshark in particular for giving me a lot of help with the track, and of course coordinating all those talented musicians. I hope you like this departure from my usual style!

Metroid Prime 2: Echoes - Title Screen Intro [FL Studio Revamp]

I can remember that, as a child, when I first sat down in front of a piano, the only song I wanted to play was the menu theme from Metroid Prime. Of course, I expanded my musical horizon over the years, but the Metroid series never quite left my heart. And just as I have grown, the Metroid series still lives on as strong as ever. It's hard to believe that the Metroid series is now 25 years old now.

So, for this special day, I decided to celebrate by arranging this piano solo, in dedication to the childhoods of the many who loved (and hopefully still love) the Metroid series like I do. 

The track was close to being scrapped more times than I would like to think. Originally, I found the piece too repetitive. To complicate matters, the original track has a complex rhythm and beat, which made it very demanding to perform on a consistent basis. Even after all my work, I wasn't very satisfied with the final mix, feeling that it went on just a little too long for its own good. However, with a bit of convincing from the community, and a lot of magic from The Orichalcon's mixing abilities, I'm very proud of how Lone Star has turned out.

Special thanks must be given to the project leaders of "Harmony of a Hunter" (especially Darren), and to my friends, as the song would never have been finished if it wasn't for their help and kind words.

RIP Satoru Iwata. He was a great inspiration to me and one of my role models.

The instance this theme plays when Samus lands on the planet really establishes the grand exploration the player is about to embark on. While the track is for the Tallon region, the theme is also used in the beginning of the NES Metroid and Super Metroid. As a result I interpret this as also a characterization of Samus Aran. Arrangement-wise, this is the first Sci-Fi music I've attempted, so it was also a learning experience for me.

The original track also includes some great atmospheric sounds fused into the music, which I did not try to emulate, so therefore ignored. As part of my challenge, I wanted to use only traditional orchestral instruments and play them normally to see if I could pull off the sci-fi mood. This is in part inspired by John Williams' purely orchestral Star Wars score, and Hans Zimmer's Inception/Interstellar. In an interview for Inception, Hans stated he wanted to use real instruments with minimal processing. Instead, he instructed the strings section to try to play the music in a "synthesized" way. What I did was keep the articulation of my instruments as flat as possible. I kept the original Tallon Overworld track's use of long harmonic chords, but to keep it from sounding boring and hollow, I faded in many other instruments in and out to add more texture. These include the horns, tremolo strings, clarinet, vocals, and the organ (Which sounds like more Interstellar copying, but the original track also has organs, so I'm good!).

All of this adds up to a piece that celebrates Samus' resourcefulness, adventurous spirit, and graceful movements.

Metroid Prime Orchestrated - Tallon Overworld

A short ambient orchestral thing. Cello played by me. 

Inspired by Skyrim, Joe Hisaishi and Mass Effect.

Borealis

An orchestration of the Metroid music Kraid's Lair. This one really stood out to me as an awesome track for the middle part. As with my last Metroid piece, there's also little synthy bits to it to give it a retro touch.

Hey! This here is an arrangement of a couple of Guild Wars 2 themes composed by Lena Chappelle. These are the tracks in question:

There are also some nods to music in the soundtrack composed by Jeremy Soule, so credit goes to him too!

I'm a huuuuge fan of Guild Wars 2 and its soundtrack, and I thought it was about time I made a tribute to it. This uses FL Studio 11, East/West libraries, and Omnisphere. 35 hours of work went into it.

I hope you enjoy it! Credit goes to these two wonderfully talented people for their live recordings in this track!

After over two years of on-and-off work, here we have a Celtic-inspired score for NeroGeist's awesome new animation, The Clairvoyant Prologue, as part of his Guardian animation series. I highly recommend that you check it out!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZxdXqykXRk

This uses East/West libraries and Omnisphere, and everything was composed in FL Studio 12. Special thanks to samulis for recording additional instrumentation and Ceevro for the acoustic guitar!

Hope you enjoy :).

The Clairvoyant OST

This is the Main Theme Remixed, ReArranged &amp; ReOrchestrated by me for the Fans of SWTOR &amp; Star Wars...
"Rise Of The Old Republic" is fast paced and epic piece that was inspired by modern Blockbuster Soundtracks.

t starts with the familiar SWTOR Title Screen Melody followed by an altered "The Force" Motive leading into a Self Composed Bridge...
My Remixes do not reflect the original music and instead of being a mere rearangement of the original they are an actual piece that is able to stand on its own

Original Music written by By Mark Griskey, Gordy﻿ Haab,
Lennie Moore and Wilbert Roget &amp; John Williams.
Remixed, Arranged and Orchestrated by Pascal Michael Stiefel
