Hi, I also grew up watching the BBC Narnia film series, albeit in Germany. The beauty of this theme is uniquely reverential in its original orchestration. I assume that a little more fine-tuning work in refining that original intention of the composer is required to "out-master" the original orchestral recording. Thank you very much for kindly publicising your initial attempt though :-)

A short piece using the Una Corda piano library.

Artic Prey

Day 1 of the 21 day VGM challenge! Today I created a piratey-sounding track, it might be the theme song of a crooked captain of the background music for his deteriorating fort. Enjoy!

The snow level challenge on quest log level 3. You can almost hear the ticklish penguin.

VGM Challenge Day 3

For today's track, I decided to bust out the e-drum kit and play a 6/8 groove for the compound meter challenge. For some reason, this kind of beat always drives me towards eastern-sounding music, so I created a track that might play before you fight the boss of the Sand Palace. Enjoy!

VGMA Challenge - Day 15 - Sandy Showdown

Day 17! Just a quickie today, it's a song that plays when you finally clear that difficult level :D

VGMA Challenge - Day 17 - Level Clear!

Original song by Nemea, go drink that jazz up sis

it might be a tad quiet, crank that volume slider up

Who else grew up watching the BBC version of Narnia?

I recreated Aslan's Theme from the opening and closing credits. It was a lot of trial and error and trying to make my sample libraries do the right thing but I think I got a fairly accurate copy in the end. I learned a lot more about orchestration in the process. If anyone's interested, send me a DM if you'd like a copy of the notation or the midi file.
Geoffrey Alan Burgon was the original composer, born in Hampshire. He sadly died in 2010. Among his most recognisable works are Monty Python's Life of Brian for film, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Brideshead Revisited for television, the latter two earning Ivor Novello Awards in 1979 and 1981 respectively.

Aslan's Theme

This track is an exploration of how granular synthesis, amongst other secondary processes, can be used to warp and distort what could usually be considered a "pure" sound - in this particular case, wind chimes from my childhood.

Contamination

This track is the main theme for season 2 of O.M.E.N, a comedy horror RPG actual-play podcast. You can listen to the podcast here: omeninvestigations.podbean.com
