Cycles and Myths
Ciclos y Mitos
A new composer and a new sound. This piece 'Cycles and myths' sounds quite modern and brings a mix of contemporary rhythmical sounds alternating with more quiet intermezzi. This composition will, no doubt, please any young audience. The initial theme returns at the end of the piece and so the cycle has been completed.

Nottuln
Concert Ouverture for Concert Band
Nottuln is a festival overture that was created for the wind orchestra of the same-named community. The repeatedly recurring fanfare combines a G major and a G minor subject simultaneously, which results in a rather exotic feeling. It is complemented by an evolving majestic theme, which is only fully harmonized by the trumpets at the last appearance and thereby colored by sparkling woodwinds and pulsive drums.

Festa Latina
Latin Party
An up-tempo rhythmic Latin-style piece, with lots of incidental percussion to propel the music to a triumphant climax. Melody and harmony are key elements, and every instrument group has something interesting to contribute in this sparkling arrangement.

DUNKiRK
Dunkirk is a French city that served as a backdrop for the Allied military operation between May and June 1940. Known as Operation Dynamo, it consisted of the evacuation of Allied troops that had been encircled by the Nazi German army during the Battle of Dunkirk in full invasion of France. Almost the entire British Expeditionary Force, part of the Belgian army and three units of the French army had to evacuate the beaches and the port of Dunkirk before the German offensive. In spite of the bombings and the cornered by the German military, they were able to rescue more than 300, 000 soldiers. José Alberto Pina has tried to reflect the most dramatic moments of this operation. The composition is divided into small sections. It begins with ''The Prologue'' where the main theme of Dunkirk appears, followed by ''The mole, the beach'', where the long wait was taking over the soldiers. In ''The bombers'' you can hear how little by little these planes were getting closer to take a nosedive and destroy the lives of the soldiers. ''The Dunkirk Spirit'' is a term in the British press that refers to the solidarity of the British people as they played a fundamental role, using small boats to get close to the beach and help with the transfer of soldiers. ''The Failed Evacuation'' is related to how the soldiers try to survive while trying to climb the big ships, but the bombers end up sinking without the possibility of surviving. In ''The Hymn'', the melody of the beginning of the work is listening again on the trumpet, now developed throughout the orchestra and with great lyricism and nobility to finish with ''The Successful Evacuation'', where the full orchestra along with the drums will put a spectacular ending to this fantastic composition by José Alberto Pina.

Dunkirk - José Alberto Pina

The Bermuda Triangle
El Triángulo de las Bermudas
Inspired by the legend of The Bermuda Triangle, José Alberto Pina tells us in this symphonic poem other less well-known legends of the Bermuda Island as well. In particular, we refer to a legend of love that is set on the beautiful sandy beaches surrounded by crystal clear water. It tells that couples who kiss under the Moonshine will be assured of good fortune and happiness. All these elements, masterfully assembled in this wonderful composition, take us on a 20 minutes journey around the mysterious waters of Bermuda. Enjoy the idyllic setting of this paradise.

The Bermuda Triangle  - José Alberto Pina

This orchestral piece is inspired by the fairytale motif of the devil.

In this excerpt, the devil emerges from a cloud of smoke—dark, dramatic, yet still part of a magical, fairytale world.

Fairytales hold a unique power that often reveals itself fully only in adulthood. They speak of the eternal battle between good and evil, of courage, hope, and justice.

“The Devil” is a musical tribute to these timeless stories—their imagination, symbolism, and the enduring message that good always triumphs over evil.

Instrumentation: Full symphony orchestra

Genre: Contemporary classical / programmatic music / fairytale-inspired

The Devil - Fairy Tale

Composing like Bach, that is quite - let me say - a challenge... But because I am experimenting with all kinds of music styles, it's one that I do not shy away from. Ah, you can immediately hear that this cannot compare to the master, and is merely created by a modest admirer from Groningen, but it was still fun to try.

🕯 The Nameless is the latest chapter of The Archive Chronicles, a personal orchestral project set in a fictional fantasy universe.

Dark and tribal, The Nameless is built around heavy bass, ritual rhythms, and a raw, powerful voice.

Each track from this project is a musical reflection of forgotten tales, ancient places, and moments suspended in time.

The Nameless follows Song of Resolve, Last Procession, Fragments of Light, and Meridias Theme.

🎮 I love video game music.

🎵 I create original music for imagined games, emotional scenes, and powerful journeys.
Sometimes orchestral, sometimes electronic, often both, always thematic.

I compose everything myself, note by note, sound by sound.
No presets. No AI. Just me, crafting worlds through music, with the tools I know, the emotions I feel, and the stories I want to tell.

I just love telling stories through sound.
Hope you’ll enjoy exploring them too.

I like music, from house to classical music. It's also the kind of music I make myself. I'm a guitarist but have lots of fun in VST in Cubase.  Hope you enjoy it!

Mijn andere Soundcloud was vol, dus hier deel 2. Van house tot klassiek, zal ik maar zeggen. Gewoon het soort muziek waar ik zelf van houd.
