"Poupées" by Harold Squire

Stand Out 2014

A selection from my score for Holy Ghost - heavily inspired by anything which resembles adventure, elation, joy or majesty. Think of an eagle wrapped in bacon...soaring the heights of a Wal Mart looking for shoplifters.

La Découverte

When I was touring in Mexico, I was lucky enough to have some days off during a visit to Mexico City, and took a trip to a nearby Toltec/Aztec Pyramid site called Teotihuacan. It's a beautiful place, but when I asked about its history I was told that most of the knowledge and culture of the people who built it was lost, with the arrival of the Europeans. Now it's turned into a rebuilt money making tourist trap, with the loss of its real meaning.

I recorded the space and sounds there with binaural mics, so I could try and capture some of the feeling of it, including a storm which came in, and then I wrote a strings part inspired by the feelings of the visit there. Tom Hodge brought the piece to life by playing a piano part in addition, and I loved the piano so much I decided to make two parts, the first with the piano only, combined with the binaural recordings and a randomising delay feedback network, and the second part with the strings. The first part of Teotihuacan is available exclusively from the free download Quotient Series, and the second part will be coming on the Artefact EP in April.

After I travelled down so many roads the last couple of years I finally met this girl. 
To me she is beauty, she is inspiration, she is hope, she is love. She calls herself butterfly and since she fell in love with that song I dedicate it to her. So, this song is for you my butterfly, may you sit on my heart for a long and never forget how to fly !

Dirk Maassen - To The Sky (follow @dirk_maassen on instagram)

The original track I composed for the amazingly talented artist Gavin O'Donnell. 

I decided to remaster and edit the original track. I re-edited the cymbal builds, adding more of my own custom stuff, and some from the Evolve library. And I also added a solo violin playing a counter melody at the end.

The Eye of the Beholder (re-master & edit)

Eluvium - Don't Get Any Closer

I've survived enough...we've survived enough, why must we endure?
A simple answer: Until the world is pure.

Survivor (Perhaps One Day - Orchestra Version)

Another track I originally composed for the fantastic artist Gavin O'Donnell's drawing "Azura" that I have re-mastered and edited. 

It's a long track, but it's split into 3 unique sections that tie together. The thought process was to follow the growth and emotions of the woman in the drawing. 

Find the original drawing video here on Gavin's YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M88K0m8eYLE

When I initially saw this gate I thought of passing through it as if entering into a different world and so is the music...

This Version is my first cross instrumental collab on SC and I feel very honoured that Lyod put all his passion and feel into this song to let this song become a wonderful journey beginning right behind the gate entering into a strange and mystical world of sound....

Also check out Lyods Cloud and his great music !
