18 - 2 Respighi - Adagio with Variations, P. 133

Yay more music! This is a medley arrangement of multiple tracks from Super Mario Galaxy, for the Smash Bros arrangement album expansion Harmony of Heroes: Final Smash. If you enjoyed this, there's plenty more where that came from in the expansion, including Metal Gear, Megaman, Sonic, Zelda, etc.

To begin with, this is a list of all the Super Mario Galaxy tracks I arranged in this medley, in order of appearance:
Stardust Road
Into the Galaxy
Good Egg Galaxy
Gusty Garden Galaxy
Grand Star Collection
Thanks goes to Laura Intravia for the wonderful flute performances done under very short notice. In fact, this whole track was done under short notice. In the space of just over two days, I spent over thirty hours on this track. So yep, basically non-stop work to get this done. I was disappointed that the aforementioned expansion album didn't have any Mario Galaxy music, and always wanted to arrange some of its music, so I decided to take on the crazy task of finishing this track in a couple of days. Didn't get much sleep, but it was WORTH IT.
I tried experimenting a little for this. It's basically an orchestral/chiptune mashup, with mostly orchestral supported by chiptune accompaniment/drums. Look forward to an entirely chiptune section later on though... it's my first time doing chiptune so I hope it's alright. This uses East/West Symphonic Orchestra Silver, Hollywood Brass Gold, Hollywood Strings Gold, Stormdrum 2, Omnisphere, Versilian Studios Marimba, mda ePiano, BiT BOX, Bleep, Magical 8-Bit, Sytrus, 3xOsc, and Vengeance. Also, those aren't the original Mario sound effects you're hearing in the background at some points. They're my own; hope I got them to sound like the real thing!
I worked very hard on this and consider it one of my best tracks to date. I hope you agree! Thanks for listening and comments would be much appreciated!

To The Stars

I was pleased to reprise my role as creator of the music for the second season of MAMMUT, the norwegian web-based crime-tale that can be watched here: https://www.glomdalen.no/mammut2---se-alle-episodene

The music included in this track, as well as a few more minutes included only in the actual web series, was made in approx. 5-6 days. I used samples from two free libraries, as well as some stuff included with Logic Pro 9, which was the software I used. Feel free to ask questions you might have.

Third party sample libraries used:
- VSCO 2: Community Edition - Versillian Studios / Sam Gossner / Ivy Audio / Simon Dalzell - http://vis.versilstudios.net/vsco-community.html
- Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra - Mattias Westlund - sso.mattiaswestlund.net

18-5 Butterworth - The Banks Of Green Willow (Quartet Version)

I waded into virtual orchestration about 2013, with the intent of composing.  I started programming recordings of other's compositions and have been loving it.  I'm committed to perfecting my craft and I enjoy especially producing music by late nineteenth and early twentieth century English composers.  Something about the music of that time and place speaks to me...  

I also arrange and produce strings in collaboration with other artists and songwriters.  Always fun!
