Seize the Day

Written to accompany a short film of the same name.

Summer Meditation

Written to accompany a short film, 'After the Rain', (which you can find on my Baalines Films channel on YouTube)this is one in an evolving series of pieces for relaxation and meditation. It was made in Garageband, using a virtual harp, and several sounds from the Spitfire Audio Labs instruments.

After the Rain

Autumn Tango

This is one of a series of pieces designed for meditation. They are all around 3-4 minutes in length. This one uses a variety of plug-ins from Native Instruments and Spitfire Audio, as well as some of the instruments (-e.g. Guzheng-) supplied with Garageband.

April Meditation

A slow piece, which I shall probably use as the soundtrack to one of my '4-minute Meditation' films. This piece would not have been possible without the wonderful 'Cello Moods' plug-in from Spitfire Audio's Labs series. The piano is the Steinway D from Modartt Pianoteq.

La Folia arrangement for strings and piano

Variations on the theme song of the 1960s children's series, 'The Flashing Blade', by Alex Masters. (A French-made series.)I've arranged it for piano, strings, and a bit of brass and woodwind. It's one of those tunes that you hear and never forget, although I've no idea why it suddenly came back to me all these years later, or indeed whether anyone else will remember it.

Variations On 'The Flashing Blade'

The soundtrack to a short film, "Where the Light Falls", which can be found on YouTube. See Baalines Films.
