Another Student Score and Melodic Rock

I've just finished another score for the Music for the Media course.

1M1 - "The Robbery"


1M2 - "Cold Nights Main Title"


1M3 - "Agent Sinclair"


This was my last assignment for this course and I have to say it's been amazing. I've learned a lot about writing music for media and I can highly recommend this course. Check it out here.

I have also recently written a short cue for Varun Sethnas Animation Mentor class 2 (+ class 1) showreel. This time Varun wanted a melodic rock track and even though that's not what I would usually write, I love a challenge and jumped into it.

When sitting down to compose this I quickly realized that all I had of electric guitar samples was from the Kontakt Library, which is great for starters, but doesn't really hold up. I went ahead and purchased Impact Soundworks Shreddage II which combined with Guitar Rig 5 is an amazing library (Revalver, an amp effect thingy is included in Shreddage II, but it crashed my Cubase big time, so I went with Guitar Rig). Anyways, here's the cue:

"Brothers in Arms" - Varun Sethna AM Class 2 ShowReel


I'll put the video in as soon as it's available on Youtube or Vimeo.

Music for Gisel Calvo's "Sunrise"

A few weeks ago I was asked to make a piece of music to go with a beautiful timelapse video created by Gisel Calvo. Here's the video with my music.

"A Sunny Day" - String Quartet Piece

Here's a little piece I wrote for a string quartet. It was fun to get to play around with the Friedlander Solo Violin from Embertone, which I used both for 1st and 2nd violin. The viola and cello is from Vienna's Special Edition Library.

Here's the short piece called "A Sunny Day":

"The Lady in Red"

Here's a short track I wrote for a commercial as a student project. Unfortunately I can't show the film due to copyrights.

"Fighting Back" - Action Cue

I purchased Native Instruments Komplete 9 Ultimate last week and to try out some of the new instruments, I decided to take a crack at composing one of those big epic action trailer tracks. Enjoy!

"The Best is Yet to Come"

I recently composed a track for my parents-in-laws golden wedding anniversary. Married for 50 years - that's impressive.
