- GaLiv Music 3
This piece is slightly different from the first and second GaLiv music tracks, because the spec was to create a quiet piece that somehow felt linked to space, and I made sure to really show this difference. The first thing I did was set the reverb to its most extreme…Read More
- Creepy
I composed this in response to a request for a creepy music track that remained quiet thoughout. I feel the piece fits the criteria quite nicely and the different sounds I use are what I would call creepy. The cello pizzicato at the start is supposed to represent footsteps, but…Read More
- GaLiv Music 2
This is the second track I composed for the GaLiv game. It has a very recognisable chorus, which features a harp solo, a piano solo and a cello solo as we go through the track. Once again, reverb has improved this piece greatly and the instruments now sound much more…Read More
- GaLiv Music 1
This is the first music track I composed for GaLiv , which is a futuristic massive multiplayer online role playing game (what a mouthful!). I like the way the music first starts developing, because it’s in such a strange way. With my latest composing tool, Sibelius’ reverb option, I think…Read More
- Classical Choir
This was my first attempt at using choir and it came out pretty good. Alongside the choir the clarinet plays a big role in this piece, as does the cello (listen out for them!). I created a pretty complex percussion line for this piece but it seems to have paid…Read More
- Percussion
Technically this isn’t entirely percussion due to the use of the Harp, which is actually a string instrument. However, the piano, the 2 xylophones, the tubular bells and the crotales are all percussion so it seemed like a good name. It’s a pretty simply piece of music, which develops from…Read More
- Orchestra/Concert Piece No 2
This is like a sequel to the other orchestra piece and the request was made by the same person. It steals bits from the previous tune but I prefer it since it seems like there is less repetition and it has nice effects (for example the flute at the start…Read More
- Orchestra/Concert Piece No 1
This was my first stab at orchestra, although to be honest it was my own orchestra and I selected all the instruments. Note that there is a lot of percussion in there and it is quite effective. The brass have a leading role in this piece but you can also…Read More
- RPG Background 2
This is another RPG background, except I don’t think it was for the same person. It has the same instruments as the first one, minus the oboe. It’s quite a positive tune and (in my opinion) the tune is nice. Don’t listen to me though, listen to it (below) and…Read More
- RPG Background 1
This was one of my earlier tunes that I made for games and one of my favourites. It started by using a simple bass guitar, drums and guitar instrument selection, except I improved it by adding an oboe to add interest to the second half of the tune. In this…Read More
