final project

Final Project for 2024 Composition Studio. Written, arranged, mixed, and mastered in a single day using Logic Pro X, ProTools, EastWest Hollywood Orchestra, EastWest Platinum Pianos, and the iZotope Suite. For the project we were asked to arrange a piece to a visual inspiration. I chose a piece of concept art of a picturesque jungle atmosphere with several ponds, rivers, waterfalls, and wood bridges connecting the stretches of land. I received an A+ in the course this project is attached to.

PRELUDE TO THE END

Written to be a Final Boss Theme, this piece alternates between a dramatic full orchestra and a tension filled build up. Created using EastWest Hollywood Orchestra and Platinum Pianos. Arranged in Logic Pro X and Mixed In ProTools.

opening theme

This piece was written to play in an opening cutscene in a high fantasy setting. It was assumed that this cutscene would be setting the scene prior to the action, hence the serenity but use of french horns to indicate that action may occur. Used EastWest Hollywood Orchestra and Platinum Pianos Samples. Arranged in Logic Pro X and Mixed in ProTools.

Tragedy

Written to play as the heroes either experience a tragedy or collect their thoughts afterwards. The way the piece is built emphasizes tension but adds small glimmers of relief to signify that tragedy can be overcome. Used EastWest Hollywood Orchestra, and Platinum Pianos Samples. Arranged in Logic Pro X and Mixed in ProTools.

stargazers

Written with the idea of the player character taking a break for the night and watching the stars/meteor shower with their companion(s). Meant to be understated and tranquil much like the stars against the black background of space. Used EastWest Hollywood Orchestra and Platinum Pianos Samples. Arranged Logic Pro X and Mixed in ProTools.

Star Speckled Sea (Night)

The use of Guitars with high amounts of reverb give a relaxed feel to this piece. This is complemented by the accordion which adds a drone that lulls the listener. This is meant to coincide with a location by the sea at night where the sound of the waves and the sight of the stars both in the water and the sky give a calming feeling. Uses East West Goliath and Eduardo Tarilonte's Celtic ERA and Accordions. Arranged Logic Pro X and Mixed in ProTools.

Metal Battle theme

This battle theme in the metal genre is meant to provide energy and intensity to whatever combat the player is engaged in. It was written to conform to an active battle system but would work for turn-based as well. Uses EastWest Goliath and Steven Slate Drums 5. Arranged Logic Pro X and Mixed in ProTools.
