And here we are at the end of the album! I hope you enjoyed this little glimpse into the last decade of my life making music. This track was very personal to me, and it only felt right to show a little more vulnerability than I've ever shown before and sing the track myself. I've been uploading since 2011 (!!) on this channel, but this is the first time I've shared this aspect of myself. As a transgender woman, the prospect of people "finding out" what I sound like through recordings has been especially daunting, and while I'm not ashamed of my voice, I think it's the thing I'm most self conscious of - not just in my professional life, but my personal life as well. I've been worried about how everyone would react since I finished the recording session for this track and went back and forth over and over again on whether to include it, but I think over the process of finishing this album this year I ended up feeling like the album wouldn't be whole without it. I'm deeply grateful for the love and support of so many people for the music I've posted on this channel. Thank you so much, everyone.

I really love how this track turned out! It was the last track I finished for the album, and I feel like I really pushed myself to make something different and more experimental, using all of the skills I've picked up along the way while working on this project.

This track was an interesting experiment - I first wrote the main orchestral part shortly after my first album came out in 2014, and it stayed untouched until earlier this year where I decided to revisit the track, remaster everything, and weave more experimental ideas and textures into the tapestry of the piece. It's also a transitional track in the narrative of the album; the storm hitting, descending onto the night, and taking us into the more electronic portion of "Exhale".

This track is the ending counterpart to "A City, Awakening", and acts as a final return to some of the themes explored in the rest of the album before the epilogue. I loved the idea of using these two, quite similar tracks to bookend both sides of the album, while "Midnight" and "Exhale" get to be the opening and ending tracks. I also loved incorporating elements of "A City, Awakening" in here, including the footsteps and clock ticking returning.

This is one of what I would consider to be the "big" tracks on this album - it's ambitious, sprawling, and working on it pushed me harder than anything I've written before. I've always been a huge fan of Yasunori Mitsuda's work, and this track felt like a love letter to his style! I absolutely adore how it ended up turning out. I got to experiment a lot with composing exciting basslines for orchestral music in the writing process, and I feel like the lessons I'll take with me from that process will be so useful in how I approach both composing and arranging for orchestra in the future. That insane shakuhachi solo might be my favourite melody I've ever written!
Over The Horizon is dedicated to Patrick Glynn, a wonderful friend and colleague without which this track would not have been written.

Another new track! I first started this track almost a decade ago, during the writing process for Breathe, but it didn't seem to make sense within that album, so it's been a wonderful experience moulding parts of Exhale around this track's inclusion. I strongly believe that the use of samples in music can have their own inherent value in a way that doesn't necessarily compete with or negate live performances and live instrumental recordings, and in this track the lead string line is one of my favourite examples of that in my own work. It's virtuosic, it's tender, and yet it's synthesized and programmed - with tracks like this, I have a lot of fun writing and performing sample patches with my keyboard. I feel the intricacies and eccentricities of the string sample I'm using mirror the natural imperfections of a physical violin in a way that I love, and I love the amount of control and intention I'm able to put when writing in conjunction within the limitations of the software I'm using. I'd invite any artist to view their tools like this - there's surreal, untampered beauty in the inherent contradictions of making art digitally, and we should celebrate that.

This track is a cute little introduction to the first section of Exhale, following after the more bombastic opening track, Midnight. There's a lot of fun elements here that I really enjoyed incorporating - using clock ticks and ambient foot steps as percussion, the mechanical percussive elements contrasting with the organic synths that underpin the whole track, and some wide acoustic guitar chords to give everything some real depth and space. This also has a twin in the penultimate track, A City, Alive, that shares a lot of elements with this piece and features reinterpretations of the same leitmotifs. We'll slowly be exploring the night's oncoming storm in the next few tracks!

I'm excited to announce that this track is the opening track from my next original album, Exhale! A follow up to Breathe, I finally finished Exhale earlier this year and I'll be releasing a song every two weeks until the full album is out. In addition to exploring all kinds of new and foreign soundscapes, Exhale is an expansive, narrative album that for me represents a culmination of my development as a musician and composer since I started sharing music publicly. I feel that there is a level of vulnerability and more of myself on display in Exhale than I have ever been able to show before, and I am incredibly excited to finally be able to share this body of work.

This is a short and sweet orchestra arrangement of the opening theme to The Owl House, one of my favourite shows! As a fan of Gravity Falls already, I really love the world of The Owl House, and how the main characters grow so much over the course of the show. YouTube would keep this in the "Shorts" category if I kept it its original length, so I've extended it to 30 minutes to fit with some of the other "extended"-style videos on my channel. Another Deltarune piano arrangement from my recent huge album project is coming next week in more of a traditional upload! I'm so excited to work on a lot of different music this year and try to branch out just a little from my usual fare.

This is the second single on my upcoming Overwatch album, A World Worth Fighting For, which will be out in two weeks! It was so fantastic to work with Pascal again, he's always amazing to collaborate with and working on this track was so much fun. We tried to encorporate some of the more futuristic elements of the Overwatch world into the overall track, and I'm so proud of the result.

This is ultimately a really new direction for me - I've spent a lot of time exploring new directions to take my sound, especially with the overall narrative direction I wanted for my next album. "Breathe" had a few moments of synthesized sounds and instruments entering the mix, but "Ambient Mood" is a deeper exploration of a more intimate electronic soundscape and a deep dive into more of a laidback, lo-fi mood. I had the pleasure of working on a dynamic soundpack for the game "Mixolumia" using this track, and I'm so grateful for the developer, davemakes, for the beautiful cover art for this single!

Laura Platt's arrangement of 'Title Theme' from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, featuring Ronin Op F.
I really enjoyed the cool style of the horse riding music from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and the way the two tracks referenced Zelda's Lullaby and the main Zelda theme, and this album gave me the perfect opportunity to have a crack at what it might sound like if another track was referenced! The original Title Theme from Majora's Mask is delightfully ominous, so I thought I'd work in some light narrative elements too - there are three main sections of the track to evoke the three day cycle of the game, with two string lines that play away from each other until they finally join together to play Majora's theme at the end of the piece.
Ronin Op F did an awesome job helping me out with the string lines on super short notice, so please check out his music too! ► SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/RoninOpF ► Twitter: twitter.com/RoninOpF

This is the kind of track I've been wanting to work on for a long time! Pascal's boss themes are always really fun, and as the final boss theme of A Hat In Time, this one is no exception. I went for a techno- and horror-enthused orchestral vibe, something I've been itching to try since I heard the theme.

Over the past six years that I've been making arrangements on this channel, Suteki Da Ne has always come up every now and then, only for me to get distracted by something else and forget about it. With this arrangement, I recruited Jordan Chin to help me out with some lead guitar, distilling down all of my favourite elements of previous attempts into a single, clean mix. I haven't actually worked on anything in this style for quite a long time, so it was fun to return to light orchestral work (and not have to worry about percussion for once!)
As always, I'd recommend you check out Jordan's music, he's an insanely talented musician that definitely deserves your attention!
'Moonlight on the Waves (Suteki Da Ne)' is an arrangement of 'Suteki da ne (Orchestra Version)', a track written by Nobuo Uematsu and Kazushige Nojima for the official Final Fantasy X soundtrack.

After the fantastic response to the Song of Storms arrangement I made, I thought it would fun to work on a similar style of arrangement for Zelda's Lullaby - another of my all-time favourites from the whole Zelda series. I think this might possibly be the fourth (?!) arrangement of this track I've released on this channel, but it's definitely the most inventive!
I feel like I've learnt a lot from working on these two arrangements especially, but I'm working on plans to start a new series of orchestral arrangements very soon.

This album has taken significantly longer than I had expected to work on, due to a couple of decisions I've been deliberating over in the last few months. Since I released Aurora, I've made more plans for the overall structure, tone, and instrumentation of the album, as well as coming up with a basic narrative I'd like to follow that plays a little with some of the themes of Breathe, my previous album. Expect more tracks to come with a little more frequency, but I've always held to the idea that I won't release anything I'm not happy with (in this case, when I've decided something is properly 'done').

Laura Platt's jazz fusion remix of 'Song of Storms' from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Prog and jazz are two genres that I really love listening to, but don't have a lot of experience working with. In an effort to try something completely out of my comfort zone, I decided it would be fun to experiment with both genres by working on an interpretation of my all-time favourite song from the Legend of Zelda series - the Song of Storms from Ocarina of Time. I actually ended up really enjoying ripping apart the original melodies, rhythms, and chord progressions, and if there's an audience for it I'd love to make more similar tracks!
I also spent a lot of time making some custom art for this video, due to the fact that almost every interpretation of this track on YouTube seems to be using variations of the same exact image, and I thought it would be a fun idea to mix things up a little!
After becoming friends through Materia, this track is my first collaboration with Jordan Chin, a fantastic musician who I've been absolutely ecstatic to get a chance to work with. We opted to go for a light, warm arrangement of 'Home' from Fez's original soundtrack. In the arrangement, we centred our focus mainly on guitar and piano, our respective main instruments (where we felt most at home!) I really love how everything worked out - hopefully there'll be many more collaborations between us in the future!
'Welcome Home' is an arrangement of 'Home', a track written by Richard Vreeland (Disasterpiece) for the official Fez soundtrack.

It's been a while, but I thought it would be a lot of fun to return to the Overwatch soundtrack! I love working with new genres I haven't explored that much before, and after becoming addicted to GENTLE LOVE's Prescription for Sleep series, I knew I had to arrange something in this style. People have been asking for a proper Victory theme arrangement for months, so I hope this manages to scratch that itch.

Like a lot of the other tracks on this album, Aurora is a very experimental track, featuring a lot of percussive and synthesized parts that blend with my usual style to make a harsher, sharper sound than a lot of the music I've worked on in the past.

Special thanks to Toby Fox for composing the amazing original soundtrack, and everyone who has listened to and enjoyed this album and each of its individual tracks over the last year, I'm incredibly grateful for your support!Adventure Orchestral Remix - FEZ | Laura PlattLaura Platt2016-10-07 | I absolutely love Fez's soundtrack, and this track is my favourite.

It's not often that I make more major and happy-sounding tracks, but Adventure is my absolute favourite track from Disasterpiece's beautiful soundtrack and I knew I had to include it on Volume 1 of Indie Game Classics Orchestrated. I really need to work on more music like this in the future, and creating this was a really lovely change of pace from the more intense tracks from the rest of the EP!

This track was so much fun to work on! As well as trying to recapture the frantic feel of the original track with staccato strings and heavy percussion, it was a real challenge getting each of the complex lines and melodies to sing out in each of the parts. I really love how it turned out! Cave Story's soundtrack by Daisuke Amaya (a.k.a. Pixel) is masterfully crafted, and I'm definitely going to be working on some more music from Cave Story on Volume 2 of this series!
Track 2 from the EP! Forest Funk is one of those tracks from Danny Baranowsky's Super Meat Boy soundtrack that was just begging to be orchestrated. The more staccato feel is something I'm a little less used to working on, as well as the faster woodwind solos taking on the main synth part from the original, so working on this track was quite a challenge. Working on this EP was a bit of a trial by fire for making me learn how to use write percussion parts, and the main goal of this particular track was to weave parts around each other in the mix to get more of a bouncy, sharp feel than what I usually go for.

Asgore's theme has always been my absolute favourite piece from the Undertale soundtrack, and it was an absolute delight to be able to return to the theme with three beautiful performances by my fantastic collaborators on this track. I'm incredibly happy to be able to share this finished track with everyone!

I've wanted to start a proper series for a long time, and - as a long time fan of a bunch of indie games - creating this kind of album has always been on my list of things I'd love to work on. Volume 1 is a little taster for a possibly much larger Volume 2! This particular track is based on my favourite track from Ben Prunty's incredible score for FTL. As well as trying to step up my normal production for every track on this album, I also tried to explore some new and more interesting instrumentation that I hadn't used before, and I think this track particularly turned out really well!

To celebrate hitting 10,000 subscribers and my 5 year YouTube anniversary since I started making videos, this track is being released as part of Reflections of Another World, a huge 20-track album with some of my favourite arrangements that I've worked on since I started making music here on YouTube. This is the album I've dreamed of making since I started this channel, and I'm incredibly thankful for all the support I've received from so many people over the last few years. I've been meaning to work on a full arrangement of Midna's Lament since I made a piano cover of it back in 2011, and I'm really glad I can finally share this with everyone! Special thanks to Ro for helping with the guitar too - go check out his channel if you're interested in some great covers of video-game music.
'Midna's Lament' was composed as part of 'The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess's original soundtrack by Toru Minegishi, Asuka Ohta, Koji Kondo, and Mahito Yokota.
