Action/Game Music

This is music that I wrote for a kind of montage "preparing for battle" scene- perhaps Hans Zimmer inspired. I used Logic and EastWest's orchestral sampler. I wrote this piece for an orchestra of the size used in the early-romantic period. I sequenced each note and percussion hit individually using a large array of orchestral samples. It features a number of percussion instruments including a scraped tamtam or gong @ 1:38, creating a haunting ambient effect.

First Project - film music cue

This is my first personal attempt to write, sequence, and produce music intended for film. I chose Danny Elfman's title music for Edward Scissorhands as a source of inspiration, and his original score is included in the second pass for comparison. I wrote, sequenced, and produced the music using Digital Performer and the Mach Five sampler. The major elements I used were the choir aah's and the celesta to evoke a dream-like fantasy.
