I'm excited to finally be able to share a song from an unannounced video game I've been working on this year. I've been working on two, and this is from the one I haven't been writing about. The soundtrack is composed by Aakaash Rao of Note by Note Studios and features Lucian Nagy on Duduk and Deryn Cullen on Cello, as well as my vocals. I'll post more info on the game here on my blog as soon as I'm able. As a gamer myself, all I can say is it looks like it's going to be amazing! Stay tuned! :)
I'm happy to announce that Samplephonics has finally released my vocal sample pack! Over 500MB of high quality vocal samples in various keys and tempos. I tried to write for the widest range of the most common genres my stems have been used for over the last few years. I've included choruses with lush harmonies, wordless vocal loops, and some "vocalese" tracks. I can definitely say this is some of my best work to date and I'm quite proud of it. Get a free demo here or purchase the full pack here. Check out my Vocals page to find the a cappella demo. (Looking for some of my older Creative Commons releases? You can find those here.)
“Finding the right vocal samples to complement your tracks is never easy, so we’ve done the hard work for you and put together this classic vocal library packed full of beautiful ethereal voices from gifted songwriter and film score vocalist Zefora.
Whether you are composing for the next Hollywood blockbuster or producing the a storming house, trance or drum and bass hit, the intimate and smoky tones of Zefora’s vocal samples will sit beautifully in your tracks and elevate your production to a whole new level.
Within the sample pack you will find over 500MB of unique chorus lines, harmonies, phrases and ad-libs, all expertly recorded and neatly packaged into 6 construction kits. The acapella samples come in a variety of tempos and are ready to be arranged, chopped and manipulated however you see fit.
All loops and samples contained within the library are completely royalty free and come ready to download in 24 Bit Wav as standard.”
After several delays, I finally have a new royalty-free vocal sample pack that's slated to be released on 2/25/15 via Samplephonics. It features over 50 high-quality 8- and 16-bar vocal samples in several different styles, keys, and tempos. I tried to write for genres I knew my vocals have been popular in--everything from Filmscore to Future Garage to House--and have included quite a few wordless vocal loops as well as lyrical choruses with lush harmonies. There are about 6 new songs in all. I feel it is truly some of my best work yet! I'll be really excited to announce its release and showcase the demo track, so stay tuned for info!
Memories of Aeldaria is an upcoming indie game by Grand Arc Designs that I've been working on for a few months with composer Oliver Sadie. I composed the theme melody for him and recorded my 9 year old son singing it. It's featured in the teaser trailer below. I'm also happy to announce that I've been cast as a voice actor in the game! I'm very much looking forward to getting to work on that as it's something I've wanted to do for a long time. Keep your eyes peeled for the full game reveal on February 28th! I'll post more soon!!
