My, if this one didn't take a long time to finish. I started this a year ago, around the 20th of December 2012. Why did it take so long? I had it 90% finished that next January, but I didn't get to the last passage of the choral section in time to have it finished before school started back up. So, the vocals had to wait. It wasn't until just recently that I was able to sit down with this song and really complete it.

But it's here, now, and I love that. This one's been a long time coming and features some of my best mixing to date. I had this mix near perfect months before I ever considered buying monitors, which is amazing to me. With the acquisition of more useful plugins, I put a little more critical listening work into the mix and the result is something I can call pleasing!

I'm more than excited to finally be able to release this. Many people requested it when I decided to cover something last year, and it's great to feel like it's worth something.

Production notes may come eventually, but for now I'll just run down the notables.

I used PreSonus's wonderful Studio One v.2 Pro to mix, utilizing its included compressors, EQs, and reverberators for the most part. Native Instruments' Guitar Rig 4 played a huge role in this like it does most of my music, being the tone shaper for the guitar/bass tracks and my key echo effect. I used Waves' Kramer Master Tape to fatten the sound in a good many places, and the Puigtec passive EQs as sweetening filters. Ozone 5 served as the master dynamics processor and topped everything off.

Coldplay - Fix You

Here's a cover of Lily's theme, from the last movie of the saga. It's pretty sad but beautiful. I played every note by ear, and for the voice I used Shevannai Voice of the Elves. The sound is a bit weird because Cubase 5 crashed like 5 times, and when I finally made it run, Kontakt crashed and I had to reload the samples... Well the sound's weird...
Thanks for listening though ! :D

Shajarian x Olafur Arnalds | Dela Khamooshi Chera

This song was originally intended to be sung. In the end we were unable to match the meaning of the lyrics with that of the music. Pefhaps one day we will take it up again. In the meantime, here is the instrumental version.

Where I´m Going?

The legendary Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, originally composed by Franz Liszt and rendered through Impact Soundworks' upcoming "Pearl Concert Grand" instrument for Kontakt Player!

"Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2" by Franz Liszt - Romantic Classic

Originally from the 2019 album 'Someone Else's Story'.  Reworked in 2021.  Finally now up on Soundcloud!
an early version of this song was nearly used as a backing track for a documentary with a famous ex. footballer... but it was not to be.

Every single cover you'll find here was recorded and played BY EAR. 

I basically play every single note I can hear without quantizing anything so it gives it a "natural" sound :)

My usual gear is made of a Yamaha NP V80, cubase AI5 on a Macbook Pro 13" (4 Go RAM) and a bunch of VSTs. 

Thanks for listening to my covers!
