A small sampling of my horror sounds used in my Cubase template. These terrifying sounds and effects are intended for employment purposes, but you may listen if you dare.. (some FX include distorting a film projector, filtering and amplifying a tape deck, backwards low brass glissandi, several string scratches, door slams, crowd whispers, and reversed screams,) All of which provide a good array of potential settings for a horror film, or video game.

“Heart of a Winner” Music Composed by Thomas J. Peters. 

The Heart of a Winner is someone who amidst whatever trials they face, move onwards & upwards against their obstacles. 

The building repetition of the chord progression and juxtaposed piano strikes with the children’s chorus highlights a struggle for greatness. 

To seek out the potential within us all. 

In a decade and world that tells us nearly daily how bad things are, I refuse to inhabit a spirit of negativity & defeat. We need to be the light in times of darkness. As creators, what a golden opportunity to share our passions and love of the craft to uplift & inspire! Hopefully this music can do just that. Enjoy!

Thomas J. Peters
