Seven Nation Army Epic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2017-12-03 | Here we go again with another classic popular song orchestrated. This time, I looked at the very simple but still very catchy beat of Seven Nation Army. To be honest, the hardest part about this was to make sure the song kept its consistancy all the way through, which I think was a success. Oh, and that bass drop at the begining was definetly the highlight of the song, it's the one thing that made me want to make the whole song, just for the sick intro you can make with it.Support me on Patreon if you wish to help me with my work, it will certaintly help me work more on my music if I know that I can get payed for it : patreon.com/userHere is the link for a free download of the song on my Soundcloud : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/seven-nation-army-epic-orchestral-cover Here is the link to the picture used in the video, although it has been retouched by me : wallpaperstock.net/battle-fantasy-art_wallpapers_37075_1280x1024_1.htmlAnd here is the original song by The White Stripes : youtube.com/watch?v=0J2QdDbelmY
Its Been So Long Epic Orchestral Remix Remastered - Five Nights at Freddys TLB Orchestration 2022-02-22 | Well well well. You could say...It's been so long huh.Download the song here : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/its-been-so-long-orchestral-cover-remasteredSupport me on patreon, because apparently this got demonetized because youtube apparently no longer lets you make money off covers, even if I could clearly see that whatever company that has the rights is not even remotely close to being The Living Tombstone and I'm honestly just tired of this website's way of treating copyright. patreon.com/tommylapointeblondinBut yeah. Sorry for just kind of disapearing. I've just been doing so much more and with my programs shutting off and a new error hapening every time I tried to get started and demoralizing me, it was hard, but I really hope I'll have what it takes to keep going. Cheers, and I love you all.
Bella Poarch - Build a B*tch Orchestal Cover TLB Orchestration 2021-06-20 | I have a confession, I may have a weak spot for living dolls in horror, as in it gives me the right kinds of creep. So when I heard of the song Build a B*tch, it gave me to kinds of vibes right away, which the original music video certainly helped with. The overall feeling of this song is just this mix of creepy kid's with the aesthethic of the appro-mentionned living doll. What is great about it compared to some of the song's I've been experimenting with is that the original melody is actually a great one to work with on an instrumental level.Anyways, enjoy this song and these visuals I worked on while waiting for the final audio file. It might be a little more cursed than I expected.

Attack on Titan Final Season - My War Epic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2021-04-24 | As per usual, I'm pretty late to the trainwagon as I've been working on this since the original grew on me early in the year. For those uninitiated, Attack on Titan is airing its final season which will be split in two parts. The first part is already out and done and this song was the show's opening, accompanied by lovely distorded images of the horrors of war. As I found myself becoming a huge fan of the show, I finally decided to tackle a song from it that was not already orchestrated. For those who wanted me to do the other OPs prior, that's pretty much why I didn't, though the OP of season 3 as well as the ED song of season 2 were close competitors and might eventually be seen on this very channel.You can download this song for free on my Soundcloud : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/my-war-epic-orchestral-coverUSING MY SONGS IN YOUR VIDEO : You have permission use my songs in your video as long as you put proper credits in the description (Song by T.L.B.

How I make my orchestrations (And how you can make it too) (Getting Started) TLB Orchestration 2021-03-21 | This is the first of a (maybe) series of videos about how I make my music. I have been asked about it countless of times and always wanted to share it, but couldn't either due to problems with recording or simply because I would just keep on talking about things and go on tangents forever until it became nearly impossible to edit or even to make sense of what I was saying. Instead, I decided to begin with the simplest thing I can explain, which is the technicality of how the actual programs make their music. This is not a tutorial on how the programs themselves operate nor is it about how to make a good sounding orchestra, both of these might be subject to other videos, but for now lets just say I am happy to finally have a reference point to anyone asking me about everything.
Super Mario RPG - Beware of the Forests Mushrooms (Forest Maze) Orchestrated TLB Orchestration 2021-02-08 | Since I made Gourmet Race recently, I thought I might as well work onto another song that I've known for quite a while but never played the game it came from (with both having a smash version as well) with Beware of the Forest's Mushrooms, also often abridged to Forest Maze. It's one of the songs I used to play on the piano back in the days where I kept playing mario songs, so while for many it may not seem as iconnic as most other songs from the nintendo repertoire it definetely is to me. I also took a slightly more creative approach rather than my usual style, just because I felt like it honestly.USING MY SONGS IN YOUR VIDEO : You have permission use my songs in your video as long as you put proper credits in the description (Song by T.L.B.

Gourmet Race (Kirby: Super Star) - Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2021-01-21 | Probably the only song I know from any Kirby game as I never really played any of them, Gourmet Race seems to be its own thing online and I mainly heard of it through memes and more. This time I decided I might as well do a more classic orchestration, staying close to the root of the song and basically just updating it, and I love the sound of it, although I sadly could not get my trumpets to behave themselves properly.USING MY SONGS IN YOUR VIDEO : You have permission use my songs in your video as long as you put proper credits in the description (Song by T.L.B.

Minecraft - Pigstep Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2021-01-17 | I've been wanting to make this one ever since I heard the original with the Nether Update 1.16's release. My very first thought when I heard it was "This would be dope with a choir" and so there it is. Of course time went by and I eventually got up my lazy ass and actually finished it, not without some encouragement from my friends which I appreciate greatly. Anyways, I love Pigstep, and I always felt that it gave off this hellish feel that I hope I managed to portray here. Of course just like most of my songs the artwork I had made for this definitely helps portray the Minecraft nether the way I envision it!USING MY SONGS IN YOUR VIDEO : You have permission use my songs in your video as long as you put proper credits in the description (Song by T.L.B.

Maoujou de Oyasumi! (Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle OP) - Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2020-12-11 | So I feel I should talk a bit about why I took 4 months to make this (Spoilers, I didn't really)Basically during quarantine I lost my job and had to isolate like everyone else. Ever since a lot of my motivation kind of went out the window as I picked up other hobbies that took a lot more of my time, including speding way more time with my friends over Discord. One of the major things that has taken a lot of my free time is anime as both of my closest friend at the moment are huge weebs, and they introduced me to a whole lot of shows.Add to this that I now have a new full time job that take about 12 hours of my time five days per week and is quite physically demanding and both my last upload doing rather poorly compared to the amount of effort I put in them and I am usually burned out on wanting to make music or demotivated, prefering to get over my other hobbies of video games, drawing or writing. It's been a cycle that I tried getting over of for the past four months and now I hope I'm coming back for good.So I'm starting small with a song from -guess what- an anime that me and my friends have been watching, Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle. It's cute, it's hilarious and I've been listening to the OP on repeat for like a month, so I decided I would give it a shot and make it my own way. There is a full version of this song, but as I've never made any anime-related songs before I wanted to see all of your reactions before committing to a full OP, but I am hype to do more of those in the future as they've been a huge part of my life recently.Link to free download : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/maoujou-de-oyasumi-orchestral-coverThe artwork for this was made by Wira_p on Fiverr if you are interested in comissionning her! : fiverr.com/wira_p?source=order_page_user_message_link

Metallica - Nothing Else Matter Orchestral Arrangement TLB Orchestration 2020-07-21 | Hey y'all! Soryr for taking so long to make any song. I've had a lot of things to work on so I didn't have much time to work on my music.This is a song I've orchestrated for my father as he's always been a big fan of Metallica. He also loves piano, so I made sure to put a lot of it as well. I don't have much else to say about it, I don't really expect it to be much popular either as it's not really the type of music my audience listens to, but at least I know it made my father happy.You can follow me on Soundcloud to both download my songs and listen to them before they come out on Youtube : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondinYou can also support me on Patreon to help me make more songs in the future : patreon.com/tommylapointeblondin
Camille Saint-Saëns - Danse Macabre - Re-orchestrated by T.L.B. TLB Orchestration 2020-03-10 | This song has been a long time in the making so let me tell you a bit about it.This song was written in 1874 by Camille Saint-Saëns and is meant to represent a little story where Death wake up the dead to dance with them for a night. It is full of symbolism and has all sorts of really cool things inside that let you follow the song. A quick example is how death was represented by the violin solo which starts off by "adjusting" itself in a series of tritone, which was commonly associated with dissonance, telling us that it is indeed Death itself (Or maybe even the Devil)But I'm rambling. It's a really good song that barely feels like a classical song at time, and I struggled to find better version both in interpretation and sound quality than "that" version on Youtube that everyone, even my music teacher, refered to when talking about Danse Macabre, so I decided to give a try at remaking it myself.Now of course nearly all of what you're hearing is digital like all the music I do, so there are some parts that took me hours to get right just because digital instruments don't sound as well as real ones, and I had to tune them a whole lot to even get what I got here. Even still I can hear some part that I can only hope could be better if I had access to either better programs or just real musicians. Still, having everything be digital does have some ups, like for instance I could add my own instruments that were not a part of the original song, like a bit more percussions, chimes, glockenspiel and a good old choir. And finally there is the addition of the cello solo.The story behind that is quite simple : I didn't want to use digital instruments for the violin solo the song is built around just because I know for a fact that it would suck, so I went out and got some help from someone. That's where I met Tom and Jess, a duo of professional musician who made me an offer and recorded the violin solo of the song while adapting it for a violin/cello duo. Why? Well I like cello, and I had a duo to work with so I let them be free with their interpretation. While it does technically mess with the original meaning of the song as the solo is meant to represent Death leading the danse, I decided that for the sake of making this version both unique and sounding better it was worth sacrificing a bit of emaning while still educating you all on the original message so it's still not lost. Let's say that Life and Death decided to dance together for this version, alright?Anyways, this is already way too long of a desciption. I'll let you enjoy this piece I've work hard on.BIG THANKS to Tom and Jess for providing the violin and cello solo for this song.

New Super Mario Bros Wii - Castle Theme Epic Orchestral Remix TLB Orchestration 2019-12-11 | I know it’s been a while since I uploaded, let’s just say this song was done and ready to upload for a couple of weeks already, but I needed more time to get this amazing artwork done for the video.The Castle Theme is actually one of my first songs that got me hooked into Mario music. Let’s just say I spent hundreds of hours playing NSMBW when I was younger so it was one of my favourite songs from the game. It was even one of the first songs I learned for piano, so I got a bit of a history with this theme. This orchestration essentially is what I feel when I hear the song.Later on, I intend to make a quick video explaining my process behind making this song, as well as how you can make it yourself as well (a.k.a. a tutorial) so let’s hope that I can finally pull it off.You can go see the artist who I commissionned this beautiful scenery here, their name is Yuuxoon : sketchmob.com/user-profile/YuuxoonYou can download this song for free on my Soundcloud : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/new-super-mario-bros-wii-castle-theme-orchestratedFinally, you can also support me on Patreon if you love what I do.

Britney Spears - Circus Epic Orchestral Cover (With Visual MIDI) TLB Orchestration 2019-08-23 | I bought Synthesia just to do this.No but seriously I randomly decided to orchestrate this song a few days ago and now here it is. Since a lot of people have asked me to do a tutorial video on how I’m making my music, I decided to at least start somewhere by giving you a basic view of the MIDI I create when orchestrating.Keep in mind that this is just an overview I did by exporting most tracks into one MIDI file and playing it through Synthesia. There is a lot of visual clutters in some part (which I definitely made worse through my editing because… well I don’t even know why I bothered so much with the visuals.) and sadly I couldn’t assign colors to instruments due to the way my MIDI was extracted. Eventually we will go further into the depths of orchestration, consider this an entree.You can support me on Patreon to help me get those songs out faster :patreon.com/tommylapointeblondinYou can follow me on Soundcloud, where I somethimes put my songs before I put on Youtube due to video editing or more : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondinYou can also download this song freely right here : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/britney-spears-circus-orchestral-cover
Super Mario Bros - Airship Theme Orchestral Arrangement TLB Orchestration 2019-08-16 | So the title of this video was kind of weird for me to choose considering this orchestration is not really from SMB3. I decided to go through 4 different adaptations of this theme across the many mario games. You'll be able to hear parts of Super Mario Bros 3, Mario Maker, Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros Wii's airship theme.As said at the end of the video, I now offer commissions for those who are interested in having songs of theirs or simply songs they like orchestrated by me. I will still make free songs over time, with commissions being extra stuff I'll do at the same time.One thing I did not say in the video, however, is that if you are interested in supporting me, but do not want too much commitement either from Patreon or through commissions, you can also just buy this song on Itune for a dollar, as a little one time donnation to help me do more of these.This image was once more ordered and commissionned by me by danushka_art on Fiverr, he is also the one who worked onto the Ghost House picture and he really outdid himself with this epic image (In case you were wondering, the doodle I sent was meant as a teaser for this.)You can find danushka_art here : fiverr.com/danushka_artMy Patreon : patreon.com/tommylapointeblondinIf you want to commission me : fiverr.com/s2/40ada50247If you just want to buy this song : music.apple.com/ca/album/airship-theme-orchestral-arragement-single/1475750990?l=frMy Soundcloud : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin
Super Mario World - Ghost House Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2019-05-31 | A lot of people keep asking for this one, so I gave it a try. This song uses the same theme from the Castle theme of SMW simply because most songs from World are built from the same theme. By far the Ghost Hosue ressembles the Castle theme more than any other in the game, though, so I wasn't too sure how to make it sound different. In the end it ended up sounding pretty nice, with a little mix of organic and electronic intruments to give a eerie rich sound for the background and some pretty heavy instruments for the melody.This artwork of the Ghost House has been commissionned by me and custom made by danushka_art on Fiverr, you can find him here : fiverr.com/danushka_artYou can support me on Patreon to help me improve and spend more time on this type of work right here : patreon.com/tommylapointeblondin
T.L.B. - Nightfeather TLB Orchestration 2019-05-08 | « A Nightfeather at my window, A soft caress on my face, Far away, I feel it At the heart of night. Ink is no longer enough, I shall write of my tears if need be, For only the Gods know, A burden fills my heart. Nothing but a Nightfeather at my window, That is all that I ask for, And shall my heart give up, I would write with my blood, The winds arise, the Storm’s Eye along, A shadow upon the paper, my soul, But only the Gods know, The morning chant shall be the most beautiful of all »

Living Mice (Minecraft) Orchestral Cover by T.L.B. TLB Orchestration 2019-03-14 | Dunno why, but I decided to do this song from the OG Minecraft OST, so there it is.

For now this was mostly a smaller project to work unto while I make by big boi project for the next uploadDownload Links : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/living-mice-orchestral
DA Games - Instruments of Cyanide Epic Orchestral Remix TLB Orchestration 2019-02-21 | Thought I'd go back to DA Games once again for fun. Someone showed me this song a while ago and I've been listening to it regularly so I decided I might as well work on it and make it my next song. This is also my first, and maybe also my only, Bendy and the Ink machine song. Simply put, I didn't get into the games, they're long gone now and I haven't listened to any other songs from the game anyways.Here is the link to download the song (I'm back on Soundcloud) : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/instruments-of-cyannide-epic-orchestral-remix
Crab Rave Epic Orchestral Cover by T.L.B. TLB Orchestration 2019-01-09 | Yes I know I posted a video a couple of hours ago too, but let's just say this is my first actual remix since Halloween, so it's a big rip from me. I hope the wait was worth it. I'll be back on schedule now, uploading every two to three weeks or so, maybe even more if I'm feeling a little more dankAlso yes I know it's a dead meme at this point, but when have I actually made a video at the time of it being relevant anyways right?
Kinas Adventure - Issue 1, Flashback Scene (read description) TLB Orchestration 2019-01-09 | Hi everyone, welcome back, it's been a while.I haven't had much time since the holidays to work on anything, either through a lack of motivation or problems with my computer. I did, however, had some time to work onto a project with someone called Magpie. She reached out to me and asked me if I could help her with making music for her story, which is a dub of a comic she made. I've worked on two of the songs in it, alongside the trailer theme of the video and some themes for her characters, which is still going. For now, I'll leave you with all the links to this if you are interested. Give it a watch, it's really cool and took a lot of time and effort.The video : youtube.com/watch?v=92NQhFK_ta8Magpie's deviantart : deviantart.com/the--magpie?fbclid=IwAR1RK6kd3VqUGsUN97KY-yeQdFKXyZ7CosMICiDVGbmL6K9qaCAHeSbELJwMagpie's website : magpie-comics.com/?fbclid=IwAR3dKGUA2XoIBz10hZH1AewdnBDLES9cgHNO9fgjVTV6gQTGc8bffeWzHk0
Halloween Theme Dramatic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2018-10-04 | This time, for Halloween, i decided to not go too wide in terms of songs since it ended with me not being able to finish my songs in time and instead hopping for For the Damage Coda (which wasn't a bad idea in terms of views since it's now my most viewed of all time) but it still bugged me that I couldn't make real Halloween songs for Halloween and this year it's gonna be different. There's plenty of other spooky songs on the way and this one, the classic of Halloween, is only the first, kind of an appetiser. I already have a couple in mind so don't worry about the inspiration.This art of Michael Myers is by HelverAsbeth on Deviantart : deviantart.com/helverasbeth/art/Michael-Myers-174966260
Imagine Dragons - Believer Epic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2018-09-18 | It's been a while and we've already passed 6000 subscribers. While I finish working on my subscriber special, enjoy this piece of Imagine Dragons music. I really love their work, there's not much songs from them that don't really hit the mark with me and for that I wanted to rework one of their biggest songs in Believer, a very dramatic song whose main attrayal are its drums that really gives a strong beating heart to the song alongside its catchy chords. I went just a little bit further at the end so that the background string section can be heard a bit more clear since I really love the way they sound in this song. Hope you all enjoy this after taking a while to get something out!I found this version of their cover art on reddit right here : reddit.com/r/imaginedragons/comments/5s2snm/i_made_a_believer_wallpaper_for_1920x1080_enjoy I thought the resolution made it better for what I wanted to show and the art by itself is for Believer.You can support me on Patreon if you enjoy my work and want me to do more of them.

New Super Mario Bros - Castle Epic Orchestral Theme TLB Orchestration 2018-07-20 | I was honestly suprised to not have seen this one requested as it is one of the most popular theme for Bowser's castle in the Mario franchise. Oh well, I did this one because this is also one of those songs that I played during my perforfance back in high school with Ultimate Bowser and the castle theme from New Super Mario Bros Wii, which I might tackle soon. Anyways, cheers on that one and hope y'all appreciate these mario songs (You'll notice I keep making songs that are related to Bowser and that's simply because Nintendo is good at making his songs pretty cool and perfect for orchestration.The art is by RyRadke on Deviantart (edited by me) : deviantart.com/rtradke/art/Mario-vs-Bowser-655322002
Super Mario World - Castle Theme Epic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2018-06-27 | This one has been in my mind for years, no jokes. I wanted to do this song for a very long time and I finally got to do it. It really has a feeling of suspense that the original version just can't give properly. I'm pretty happy with the result.This art is by Jason Chan and is found here : artstation.com/artwork/that-hard-game-where-you-die-constantly
T.L.B. - My Reality (Overwatch Symmetra Fan-Made Song) TLB Orchestration 2018-06-26 | Now that Symmetra 3.0 is about to hit live, I decided to finish this one once and for all (I've been working on it for a while now)Symmetra is a hard-light architect who works for Vishkar corporation. Her boss, Sanjay Korpal, is a member of Talon's council, a terrorist organization, and he uses Symmetra to the organization's profit without her knowing.Although Symmetra herself does not have malicious intents, her affiliations and her true motivations can sometimes be obscure, which is why this song of hers can sometime go into the nearly vilanous type while still remaining this magical and exotic feeling that she emits. I think Symmetra is one of the coolest characters lore-wise in Overwatch and this song's rather complicated and fast melody that can sometimes feel unatural is there to represent the nearly magical tone her powers have.There weren't many good Symmetra artwork to use in video (at least 70% is nsfw rule 34 stuff) but I managed to find some good ones for this video, this one is by xAlternatiiveXD on Deviantart : deviantart.com/art/Symmetra-684734624
Super Mario 64 - Ultimate Bowser Epic Orchestral Remix TLB Orchestration 2018-06-07 | I think I haven't expressed something properly on the organ only version : Mario music is basically what started basically everything for me. My love of orchestral music and will to orchestrate came from me listening to the score of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 when I was younger and many of the iconic songs from a lot of Mario games are still stuck deep inside my brain. Ultimate Bowser from Mario 64 has however a special connection to me since it is one of the first rather hard song I learned to play on the piano when i was about 12 or so. I still know how to play it nearly completly as of today even though I haven't touched the song in years. Anyways expect more nintendo related stuff to come in soon since I've kind of fell into a rabbit hole of Mario, Pokemon and Zelda songs that I want to give some love too as well since they were my childhood.The art is by free4fireYoutube on Deviantart : free4fireyoutube.deviantart.com/art/Super-Mario-fanart-gonna-need-that-power-up-723638365
Super Mario 64 - Ultimate Bowser (Organ Only) TLB Orchestration 2018-06-06 | Yep, I'm definetly orchestrating this. I have a close connection to this song, playing the game on my sister's DS just so that I could listen to it on repeat (before the internet was too much of a thing) and even playing this song in my first year of highschool during the talent show on the piano (which kickstart my apparition on that same show every other years onwards) so you can tell I hold this song at high esteem. I will work on the orchestration of the song as well, but I though the basic organ which will be a part of this remix was nice enough to put out by itself.
The Living Tombstone - Die in a Fire Epic Orchestral Remix (Remastered) TLB Orchestration 2018-05-13 | As I reached 5 thousands subscribers not so long ago, i though I might as well revisit my first remix done on this channel and remaster it like I did for other FNAF songs before.

Doki Doki Literature Club - Your Reality Epic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2018-05-05 | A lot of people asked for this one so I finally got up my lazy butt and decided to actually work on it. It's a very different song from my usual rather dramatic songs, this one is like one of the most happy-go-lucky one I've tried to orchestrate, but I still think I was able to extract some epicness from it, especially in the middle of the song.If you want to support me to help me do more of these covers, remxes and songs of my own, I have a Patreon right here : patreon.com/tommylapointeblondin
Camilla Cabelo - Havana Epic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2018-04-04 | He gets it done again!So as I said in the comment section of my Despacito remix, I really wanted to make this one because I actually enjoy Havana as a song and wanted to work on it. I'm honestly surprised to see that most people's reaction upon hearing that I wanted to remork was that they hated the song and wanted me to do it to make it bareable which, well, if it's your kick then so be it.You can find the song on Spotify in my list of song labled "Epic Orchestra". I honestly don't know enough about Spotify to help you find it in any other ways.
Requiem For A Damaged Coda (For the Damaged Coda/Requiem for a Dream Mash-up) TLB Orchestration 2018-04-01 | Alright here's a quick edit of my rather popular remix of For the Damage Coda that includes segments from Requiem for a Dream. This is an idea that was proposed by another Youtube user on my For the Damaged Coda video and I liked the concept. Take note that this is still very similar to my original epic orchestral remix of the song and that I simply edited it to add some of the melodies and rythm of Requiem for a Dream. Overall, it only took a few hours of work and I'm happy with the result and the change for this song, giving a little bit of freshness.
Luis Fonsi - Despacito Epic Orchestral Cover TLB Orchestration 2018-03-31 | I've had this request for a while and decided to do it after all. To be honest it started with quite the enthusiast, but it quickly wore off as the song isn't exactly one I listen to a lot. Still, I found the time to finish it and upload it for those who were interested to see it.If you guys really want to download it and don't want to do it yourself, I'll find a way to put it on Spotify.
T.L.B. - I Will Prove Myself (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-03-15 | Might as well jump on the hype train before I miss it like I didn't with every other video on this channel. Brigitte is the newest addition to Overwatch as hero number 27 and I can't wait to try her out in real game (she comes out on March 20th) She's the daughter of Torbjörn, another Overwatch hero, and was the squire of Reinhartd before deciding to fight by his side in Overwatch. As the next generation of heroes, she is among those who will take on the lead to put Overwatch back together and help unite the world once more.The artwork for this video are from the Overwatch's official video on Brigitte's backstory : youtube.com/watch?v=K_m8fcJb5tE
T.L.B. - Redemption (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-03-03 | Alright, next one down the line of Overwatch songs, Hanzo Shimada, Genji's older brother. He's the more mature and more honorable member of their familly and has done the unthinkable to save his family's criminal empire : he killed his own brother, or at least he thought he did, and he has since then been thrown out of his ancestral home, but comes back once a year to honor his dead brother.This amazing Hanzo art is by Deviantart KorruptedSky : korruptedsky.deviantart.com/art/Hanzo-636046668
T.L.B. - At Peace (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-02-22 | Another character I really like to play (even thought I wouldn't dare try him on Competitive, little Gold support main that I am), Genji is a young man whose life was drastically changed after his brother nearly killed him. After being saved from death by doctor Ziegler a.k.a. Mercy, he was transformed into a cyborg and, after learning about the teaching of Zenyatta, he became at peace with himself. This song basically tries to impersonnate this feeling and his tragic backstory.I got this image from the official Overwatch site in the wallpaper section : playoverwatch.com/fr-fr/heroes/genji
T.L.B. - The Successor (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-02-20 | It's good to be back!I say "back" because my program had some problems that made it impossible for me to work on my music for the past two weeks. Yesterday i had some good folks helping me fix it and now I'm back in the race! So why not start where I last left off : some more Overwatch heroes getting songs and this time it's the big badass Doomfist, a.k.a. the Successor. This song is probably among the purest form of "true epicness" that I could get asside maybe from Armageddon or something, but still I had some fun working with powerful brass and choir to make this legendary figure stick out of the bunch. It is very intense with a touch of heroïsm to show the origin of the Doomfist title : once a hero of the Omnic Crisis turned into a dangerous warlord, utilizing the same weapon onto the city that it once protected.This is the link to this artwork of Doomfist (slightly modified by me like I do for all my videos) : inhdw.com/wallpaper/9/doomfist-overwatch-923.jpg
T.L.B. - The Iris (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-01-20 | Now onto my second main (formally) and one the character with the least amount of lore, sadly enough. I really love Zenyatta as a character and I really hope I could put out his feeling of harmony and graciousness, alongside the mysteries of the Iris and existence itselfThis absolutely gorgeous image of Zenyatta is by Deviantartist AnatoFinnstark, he made a whole bunch of Zenyatta art just as beautiful as this one, check them out! : deviantart.com/art/Zenyatta-Tetraktys-Overwatch-612958180
T.L.B. - Apagando Las Luces (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-01-18 | I really like the build up that this one has, alongside the EMP that I tried to replicate at the end. Hope you all enjoy this one too.This stunning art is by deviantartist Wen-JR : wen-jr.deviantart.com/art/Sombra-651081754 The short bit of animation at the end belongs to Blizzard. It comes from the Sombra origin trailer : youtube.com/watch?v=vHHjdKMH7_wI do not own this clip. It was used for enternainment purposes only.
T.L.B. - The Last Bastion (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-01-17 | Years after the Omnic crisis, a single Bastion unit wakes up in the middle of a forest. The sharp contrast of its past and conception as a weapon of war turned against its creator and the innocent curiosity that pushes him to explore this new forest is the feeling I've tried to replicate.If you want to truly understand this little story, here' s a link to the Overwatch animated short by the same name : youtube.com/watch?v=to8yh83jlXgThis beautiful art of Bastion is by Deviantart jaroldsng : deviantart.com/art/OVERWATCH-The-Last-Bastion-Fan-Art-633807718
T.L.B. - Death Walks Among You (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-01-16 | This one is probably the most complex one that I've done for these short Overwatch-themed songs. It has three main parts that are really different from one another, but I still think they all highlight Gabriel Reyes' character pretty well.I really love working on these songs, that's mainly why I can upload them so quickly. I may even be able to put one a day if I keep going in the direction I curently am going. I already have Sombra, Bastion and Zenyatta's songs done and I'm waiting to patiently to put them, I have to say I'm really happy about the results so far.This art of Reaper was done by Deviantart estivador : estivador.deviantart.com/art/Reaper-Overwatch-634842714
T.L.B. - Valkyrie (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-01-15 | Alright, I've got something to admit : I'm a Mercy main and she still remains my favorite character in Overwatch, even though Moira is quickly turning into my second most favorite character. This one was the first song I've started with and I really wanted to catch the heroic and angelic side of Angela Ziegler. Still, her moral code makes it so that she often disagrees with Overwatch, leading to her stating that the group was shut down for a reason.
T.L.B. - Spider (Overwatch) TLB Orchestration 2018-01-14 | Alright I gotta say real quick : I'm a huge fan of Overwatch. It took a really big chunk of my free time in the past months or so and really, it's a lot of time I could've work on my music. Anyways it was about time that I decide to do something to combine both my art and my hobby together. With that in mind, this is only the begining of a series of small pieces that will explore each of the 26 current Overwatch heroes. Starting with Widowmaker and her tragic backstory. For those who are not aware : Amélie Lacroix is a ballet dancer who was abducted by a terrorist organisation only to be tortured and broken mentally and physically until she was turned into a cold emotionless killer that was then sent to kill her own husband. She now goes by the name of Widowmaker, referencing the black widow, a spider that kills its male partner after mating, thus the name of the song : "Spider"This beautiful drawing of Widowmaker is from Taylor-payton : taylor-payton.deviantart.com/art/Overwatch-Widowmaker-631567233
T.L.B. - New Age Of Men TLB Orchestration 2017-12-29 | As the new year comes around the corner, I decided to make a song that felt a bit more about humanity and our futur as a people. This song really has a much more modern Two Steps From Hell style, which I didn't specially tried to recreate it just happen that it does fell like a song from the Sun album, which is why I also decided to get a picture of a rising sun for the video. It is good at representing humanity as a whole.If you wish to support my work, here is my Patreon : patreon.com/userThe picture (slightly modified) is from DeviantArt Massionus : massonius.deviantart.com/art/Beauty-of-the-space-Sunrise-418063508
Rick and Morty - For the Damaged Coda (Evil Morty Theme) Epic Orchestral Remix TLB Orchestration 2017-10-31 | For this Halloween, I decided to work on my first Rick and Morty remix. I say first because I may end up doing some more from this series since I enjoy quite well. You'll notice that this version takes a rather sharp turn at the end and, seeing how the character of Evil Morty is very good at plot twist, I thought it would be an interesting take on the song.The original song is from Blonde Redhead : youtube.com/watch?v=4Js-XbNj6TkThis beautifully hauting art of Evil Morty is from Deviantartist Clawed50 : clawed50.deviantart.com/art/Evil-Morty-704543011Download for the song : soundcloud.com/tommy-lapointe-blondin/for-the-damaged-coda-epic-orchestral-remix
T.L.B. - Phantom TLB Orchestration 2017-09-25 | Don't be intimidated by the 7 minutes, most of them are loop of the song that have twists and turns to them.
Ievan Polkka Epic Orchestral Cover (3000 Subscriber Special) TLB Orchestration 2017-08-27 | I'm back with another old internet meme coming back to life for my 3000 subscribers special. Now I had some technical difficulties when making this one so it came a bit late but hey, it's here, let's enjoy it.Now this version is based on Loituma's cover of the song, not the vocaloid version that you may be more used too, like my friend was. This version is the one from the leekspin video (the old meme) And I will probably but a version with the original version mashed-up with this version to show of the song was made and how I arranged it.
The Lavender Town Symphony : The Lost Version TLB Orchestration 2017-08-10 | Take not that I have some technical difficulties right now concerning my music, so for now I'll try an upload things that do not requier to much music making. I should be ready to make more content soon.
