ORCHESTRATIONS & COMPOSITIONS
Find a range of original compositions and orchestrations that explore various applications of an orchestra. There are many styles of composition from classical, cinematic, worldly and pieces used in some of the previous games that I have worked on. Each composition has its own unique style, utilising the orchestra through numerous varied performance techniques within the instrumentation. The majority of the pieces contain a wide contrast in dynamics, harmonies and textures with different motifs, melodies and themes assigned through the diverse range of pitch provided by an orchestra.
Hybrid Orchestra & Synths explores avenues for creating unique sonorities and textures by combining a mix of live orchestral recordings with various modular synthesizers and Foley/field recordings. This concept provides more opportunity to compose new sounds that an orchestra, in its entirety, could not recreate live. Mixing the synths with the orchestral aspects has to be refined and appropriately spread through the frequency spectra whilst avoiding any clash in frequency ranges in order to maintain clarity within the music. This technique has been applied and adapted by numerous professional composers when creating scores, assets and sound design for all collectives of genres in the multimedia industry.
