and breath controller from:

https://www.tecontrol.se/products/usb-midi-breath-controller

(Please note I received these products for free for YouTube videos in 2015).

Featuring Ross Sampson, who orchestrated and performed the piece as a one man orchestra. Using sample libraries performed to replicate a full orchestra, captured each instrument at a time and editing in a 3d space to present the performance in a brand new midi instrument concept.

Thanks to Duncan Felix for filming.

Also edited by Ross using Adobe After Effects.

Epic Renditions Track 8 - Ramin Djawadi's (and Sigur Ros' arrangement inspiration) The Rains of Castamere from Game of Thrones with solo performances by Sarah Berresford and Lidia Alonso.

'And who are you?' the proud lord said,
'that I must bow so low'
'Only a cat of a different coat,
that's all the truth I know'

'A coat of gold, a coat of red,
a lion still has claws.
And mine are long, and sharp my lord
As long and sharp as yours.'

And so he spoke, and so he spoke,
that Lord of Castamere,
And now the rains weep o'er his halls
with no-one there to hear.
Yes now the rains, weep o'er his halls
and not a soul to hear.

EPIC Adele: Rolling In The Deep

PiscesRising 2013-12-31 | Hey Folks, here is my first ever YouTube video! A big fan of trailer music, this is a re-imagining of Adele's Rolling in the Deep. It's a great tune and one that lends itself to this style of music; not wanting to rely on samples alone I gathered some friends and acquaintances to record and film it live. Hope you enjoy!
