Steven O'Brien - Best Of

Steve O'Brien

Writing symphonic music on top of commercial dance tracks is kind of my thing. This is a work-in-progress mix. 

Orchestral used samples from the Kontakt VSL Library:
+ Violin Ens 14 (sustain) x2 (V1+V2)
+ Violin Ens 14 (stac 1+2 alt) x2 (V1+V2)
+ Cello Ens 8 (sustain)
+ Bass Ens 6 (sustain)
+ Clarinet Combi (all): counter V1
+ Flute (sustain): counter V2
+ Obeo (Sustain): counter bass line

I want to find some quartet samples but I don't know what's good out there and don't want to splurge too much either. Thoughts?

Notes:
+ See track video for the original commercial release in 2006 found form a search: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4ic82qKIFw
+ Robert G samples used originated from remix contest hosted by http://acidplanet.com

World famous vocalist Microsoft Sam is back! After being instrumental in the development and release of Windows Vista, for which Microsoft Sam was widely cited as one of the main selling points of the operating system, Sam chose to spend a brief eleven year long sabbatical with his family, pursuing various hobbies such as embarking on a brief acting career, giving promotional talks on his YouTube channel, and making several stand-up appearances on the world stage at the Open Microphone Comedy Festival. He even had a brief 6 year long career at a local Walmart to, in his own words, "better understand the working class of America".

"Yes, I've always been interested in music. I wrote several songs during my time on Windows XP, but just never had the time to record anything. I'm happy that I can finally pursue my one true passion."

Launching his first promotional single off of his debut album "My World", Microsoft Sam has been wowing audiences worldwide for years with his deep and luscious voice, with a timbre that has been compared to Barry White. He prides himself on not using any autotune whatsoever in his productions, and believes an all-natural sound has been instrumental (or should I say, non-instrumental? haha) to his success. Tickets are now available for Microsoft Sam's 2019 world tour. Hurry! Due to Microsoft Sam's popularity, tickets may very well sell out soon!

(UPDATE 05/02/2018: It's with regret that we have to announce Sam has chosen to cancel his world tour in order to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests)

(UPDATE 05/06/2018: It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Microsoft Sam. He was found unresponsive in his apartment this morning by a friend of the family and was pronounced dead on arrival at the hospital. He is survived by his wife Mary and his son Mike. His family has requested that their privacy be respected in this time of great sadness. A memorial concert is being planned in his memory for this Sunday, and tickets are on now on sale. All proceeds will be donated to the Society for the Prevention of Suicide)

(UPDATE 05/07/2018: The memorial concert has unfortunately been postponed due to scheduling conflicts and tickets are no longer on sale. Any tickets which may have been purchased will be refunded)

Prince and Princess

Based on bits of Bach's Invention No 1 and morphing in to a balkan type of thing, this is a special blend of genres. Fast paced, and full of notes. In terms of genre, it is difficult to determine.
