Dear friends, finally again another release by Quenya Projects.
After a lot of hard work we think we’ve managed to create a real Orchestral version with real voices of Bilitis 2014 (v4). 
This time we’ve done a mass collab with April Gibson (solo vocals), Imperial Choir (backing vocals) and The Orchestra helping us to get a real orchestral sound, although we couldn't exchange / replace all the instruments yet.

We all sincerely hope you’ll love it just as much as we did making this release, and we hope you can also advice us too, or grant us with your comments and critics, it will help us to evolve even more.

The Assignment of Bilitis 2014:

Make a 2014 version of the theme song Bilitis composed by Francis Lai in 1977, and give it your own signature still keeping the main structure.
Replace all synth sounds for orchestral sounds, piano’s and/or Guitars.
Create 4 different (opus) pieces/versions within 1 end production, and make a new intro.
At least 1 part should have a choir doing the lead, for the ending part create a crescendo/percussion style.

Matt and I made 6 different versions, and kept on working to get the sync spot on and still give it our own signature, and tried different tempo’s and instruments, but it just wouldn’t work properly.
Finally after so many different version we managed to come with this version, and I have so much respect for Matt for all the patience he had with me and all the work he has done on this creation.
It was one of the most difficult tasks for us both, especially because I am still not 100%, so a lot depended on Matt’s skills and time, I could only explain him over the phone or emails what needed to be done, and I think he did it splendidly, and his improving skills and patience with me, made it possible for us to finish it.

Orchestral Instruments & Choirs: Matt Baker, The Orchestra & Imperial Choir

Epiphany

The idea behind this piece was to use unconventional methods in a conventional score. Sam Cardon had introduced us to Nate Pyfer who had done work for Kaskade, Neon Trees and Lindsey Stirling to name a few. Anyway, he showed us his tricks and tips on how he produced music and that led to us writing music in similar fashion. Thus, I present to you "Breaking Point" featuring me on the guitar, and everything else. Enjoy.

Epic Modern Futuristic Space Music   Emotive Sci-Fi Hybrid Orchestral Music Mix

And here it is, folks! 'Smash' was originally written for my Electronic Music Composition class for my final project. The one thing I wanted to apply as much as possible was this incredible program call "Evolve Mutation 2" from Heavyocity. I needed to branch out and get more involved with incorporating electronic elements with my film scores and stumbled upon this beautiful program to get the job done. 

Mutation 2 has some of the most fantastic electronica sounds you can get for $120. Seriously, all except the orchestral instruments and the guitars and bass are all found within this program. That's right, the beats, the percussion, the electronica instruments and synth pads and everything.......all straight from Mutation 2. I wanted to implement as much as I could but also keep it at the film score level. I'm not as savvy as other composers when it comes to electronica/orchestral fusions, and I've dabbled a lil' but never have I put this much effort into a score to show case this product! It was a lot of fun to compose and definitely stretched my mind in how to portray certain ideas and emotions throughout this piece.

Anyway, enjoy the piece, comment, and download and like! Thanks guys!
