The instrumental of my take on "O Come O Come Emmanuel" - originally written for Willow Creek & Salomon Ligthelm. I had so many requests for just the music that I exported a version without the lyrics. This track has been featured on some powerful films - check some of them out:

2) The Prophecy (Willow Creek Christmas) http://vimeo.com/18759302 | Salomon Ligthelm, Bjorn Amundsen & Blaine Hogan

The Prophecy

A serene string progression, full choir, a shakuhachi and an arpeggiated piano.

Zero Gravity

The closing score from the forthcoming Unearthed 2013 vision film "Groundswell." I wrote it with this particular tone in mind because of a quote I heard recently - "Your scars will become lights for others to see. Don't hide them."

All ambient textures, vocals and pads are from Omnisphere - run through a matrix bus of guitar amps, distortions, high shelf reduction EQs, Waves Reverb and delay. The piano performance was done in my studio on my upright Yamaha P22 - I compressed and EQed the performance in such a way as to make them sound older and more textured.

Your Scars are Lights

The second part of my score for Unearthed's forthcoming vision film "Groundswell."

I decided to switch it up a bit and use a mixture of IDM, Asian overtones and a host of synthetic and live orchestral instrumentation - all of which culminate in a series of hypnotic melodies that work in an upward or downward perpetuation...denoting collision and mixture - all the while building toward a crescendo.

All instruments derived from Specrasonic's "Omnisphere" instrument. Composed and mixed by Tony Anderson in Logic Pro.

Groundswell

Wrote this for Willow Creek Church - the chord progression is just about as elementary as you can get, but I love making simple ideas sing.

Hope

I used loads of smooth, warm analog synth patches, fizzy arpeggios & spent several hours programming MIDI to create something in 2011 with components from the 1980s. And yes, Daft Punk's score for TRON helped inspire me just a little bit :)
