Castle Of Empires

Playful instrumental track in a Celtic/Mediaeval folk style. Alternating between celtic flute and fiddle passages, it has an authentic feel of a shindig from the Middle Ages, only giving a nod to more modern times with a rolling guitar theme. Unsurprisingly, the beat comes from a bodhran and tambourine and conjures up images of dance, drink and good times, only pausing for a more subdued and reflective mid section.

Ambient orchestral hybrid piece, mixing rich synth textures and leads with traditional instruments, and weaving it all through a tapestry of rhythmic playfulness. A complex web of time signatures combines seamlessly to create an ever evolving, free flowing landscape for the rolling piano and pizzicato strings to colour in, all while keeping a light and uplifting tone to the music. Woodwinds add air and space, gentle percussion adds a touch of movement and magic, generating a peaceful background track that gives something a bit different.

Fantasy adventure track. Using the complete orchestra to generate an organised chaos, this fast paced piece features themes from all directions - string runs, woodwind answering phrases, brass interjections and relentless percussion all combining to create a circus of sounds with a hint of the macabre. A whirlwind of symphonic fantasy.

Lively, fun and dynamic orchestral track including strings, choir, trumpets and rhythmic percussion.

Mystical, orchestral epic, with an ethereal quality. Soothing choir and lush strings and pads start us off, with rich brass swelling to a gently pulsing section of strings and woodwinds as it builds to a more epic finale of fanfare brass and timpani rolls. No stand out melodies, but an overall feel of wonder and enlightenment in a gentle and majestic setting.

Imperial sounding orchestral epic. Fanfare brass, snare drum and crashing gongs give a military feel, the strings adding a further cinematic depth to the piece with fast runs and ostinato passages. A touch of fantasy is brought in by the harp in an otherwise scene-setting track of determined grandeur and combative qualities, mixing calmer reflection with aggression.
