So, after my Kate Bush arrangement recently, another trip down memory lane to the fantastic female performers from the 1970s, and here is my take on this 1979 classic sung by the wonderful Judy Tzuke. Arranged, performed and mixed by myself, with…

Project 2 of this course was to have the movie trailer provided, this time with the percussion removed, and therefore us to add our own take on it...here it is...all very thunderous!!

This is part of a Movie/Game trailer course I am doing with ThinkSpace....the Project was to add strings to a track provided where the strings had been removed.....first try!!

Pleased with this orchestration and the Tina Arena arrangement of this iconic Kate Bush classic...have always loved it! Produced and performed by myself, except for the stunning vocal performance by Tina of course ..... (Original Song…

Lovely to work with the talented Ms Daulby again...she had asked for a version of this super Beverly Craven classic and I was happy to oblige! Thanks to 13111y for his usual excellent tweaking and mastering......

Thunderous drums hopefully evoke the scene of a raging battle.....

An inspiration from watching a YT vid by Guy Michelmore has led to this chase sequence idea.....

A little break, and now back with another drama/film/game trailer type short....! Hopefully enjoyably atmospheric.......

Here is another brill collaboration that was born originally out of those Lockdown months.... the incomparable pairing of Naomi Daulby on vocals and Billy (13111y) on bass, mixing and mastering, Joe Whibley on guitars, and yours truly on everything…

Another little orchestral movie/game trailer piece to add to the collection......

This features, with some wizardry, the voice of the great Jamie Cullum singing his superb version of the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory film....but all else you can hear is my goodself...! He is an absolute hero of mine, and I hope I did the…

Always trying new ideas!! With a symphonic choir squeezed into the studio alongside the mighty cathedral organ, it was time to try out a gothic style game/movie trailer!!

Here is a little experimental instrumental piece I had almost forgotten about....interesting experiment, with the percussion elements consisting of, amongst other things, metal hangers, door latch, scissors, paper being shaken and finger snaps!!

One of the household's fave TV theme tunes....so evocative....I have taken the main theme, tweaked and extended.......

Another trailer-type epic sound.....Here I imagined the massed enemy archers at the walls of the castle!!

Back to the epic game/movie trailer style orchestrations...and this one allowed me to bring in the big guns that are the cathedral organ and choir!!

Having put together an orchestral version of this amazing song, the haunting composition by Michael Kiwanuka (theme from Big Little Lies, Sky Atlantic) here is my take on a conventional band arrangement, and featuring the lovely voice of my friend…

Something a little different for me here....one of the good lady's favourite songs is the theme to the Sky drama, Big Little Lies....by Michael Kiwanuka. Here is my orchestral/classical take on this haunting theme......she found it all rather…

A little piece that hopefully conveys a soggy sort of day when all you can do is stare out of the window, and ruminate!! Finished this after a huge downpour last weekend, with the rain dripping off the roof…!!

Particularly following a very recent piece, Nordic Noir, I may have slipped into movie/TV/Game trailer mode!!! So here is a piece featuring solo violin that has been titled An Awakening...and listeners can then put their own imagination to work…
