The 7th Global Composers Network challenge: Rescoring a given scene from Forrest Gump. I only had a few hours to do it today and this is what came out of that work in a hurry. Video on my YouTube channel: youtube.com/maxxmcgee

Part of the Terra Music album "Consolidation" which is available on all digital stores! You can listen and download the whole album on Bandcamp: https://terra-music.bandcamp.com/releases Official Video: https://youtu.be/T-qWYZH797U The story behind: Testing out "Masterbrass" by Auddict I found especially the octohorns to sound really authentic and heroic. Then I played with the dynamics and I really loved the sound when they play gently. The samples include a lot of other noises from the recording, you can hear that at the beginning of the track.

You can listen and download the whole album on Bandcamp: https://terra-music.bandcamp.com/releases Official video: https://youtu.be/UjOTFgi1HeM The story behind: When I was playing around with the Balinese Gamelan from NI, the sounds created the impression of a mesmerizing ritual in my head. I started making Gamelan ostinatos and build a song around it. I added an African Bolon, choir and vocals, drums, strings and guitar which I recorded myself.

Building up suspense is the goal of this hybrid orchestral track. Official Video: https://youtu.be/OZq7UawiPwk

This is an emotional song for two pianos with a lot of improvised parts and a bit of "Ave Maria" in it dedicated to my former piano teacher who passed away one year ago.

Just heavy drums and guitar make this song happen. I was inspired by the great soundtrack of "Mad Max" by Junkie XL (Tom Holkenborg). So I took the drums (no loops) from Native Instruments "Action Strikes" and my stratocaster and created this epic track. Hope you enjoy it!

This project began in september 2014, but now it's finally finished after several recording and mixing processes. I used a real darbuka and tambourine for additional drum sounds and my stratocaster. Hope you enjoy! Video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/K1gHAVjp2Gs Das Projekt habe ich zwar schon 2014 angefangen, aber nach weiteren Aufnahmen und sehr viel Mixing ist es jetzt ist es endlich fertig. Dabei habe ich Aufnahmen mit einer Darbuka, einem Tamburin und meiner E-Gitarre gemacht. Ich hoffe es gefällt! You can download and use it(noncommercial) for free!
