My List

This is an orchestration of "The Last of Us" from Naughty Dog's game of the same title. I love Gustavo Santoalalla's soundtrack and wanted to experiment with a nice simple orchestration of this track. Hopefully I added a bit of my own style while retaining the feel of the original.

Software used:
FL Studio 11, Kontakt, BRSO Woodwinds, Spitfire Albion, Loegria, Iceni, Felt Piano, BML Horns, BML Trumpets, Percussion & Harp, Project SAM Symphobia II

The Last of Us - The Last of Us Orchestra

This is an orchestral cover of Inside the Kakariko Village from Zelda Ocarina of Time. I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops. I tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style.

Duke Nukem 3D - Grabbag Orchestra

An orchestration of the Overworld 2 theme from Super Mario Brothers 3. I kept faithful to the original with a few wiggly improvs here and there. It was a practice in a closer, more intimate orchestral setup. I kept a few detunings and weird things here and there to give it a bit less of a Hollywood feel and more like you've gone to see a crazy orchestra playing some Mario - hopefully that comes across.

Fallout New Vegas - Theme Orchestra

A reorchestration of the Game of Thrones theme. I made it from scratch to test some new sounds and mainly practice. Hopefully I kept the feel of the original while adding my own spin to the piece. It's definitely a lot more brassy than the original but hopefully that works okay.
