I did have a Welsh version of Xion's Theme but I wasn't satisfied with it. Maybe I will release someday :). But there is something by Shimomura on the album! As for Norse, I listen to music from Banner Saga or perhaps Skyrim. I also found a lot of really good traditional folk music on YouTube. My best advice is listen to it a LOT and read up on it.

This is a game score that I made music for. Although the game did not reach completion I still wrote a good amount of music for it. This demo is not all of the music I wrote but it is a taste of the sound. I hope to use this music in a future project. My sound mixing technique still needs a lot of work so any advice on the composition, mixing, balance, etc, would be very helpful!

Ronald, I am very glad you like it! This will be on an album called The Travelers which I am producing seven arrangements for as well as having other arrangers participate. The music is strictly from JRPGs and all are arranged in European folk styles. There will be tracks that are more of the relaxing sound you hear above, but there will be aggressive heart pumping arrangements also. We have Celtic, Spanish, Welsh, Norse, Icelandic, Slavic, and many more. I'm doing one now that has quick, aggressive guitar and bouzouki passages sort of like The Witcher 3 battle music. Anyway, thank you for listening!

Hey! I am looking for feedback on this arrangement I did of Endless Sorrow from FFIX. I took the original and created a completely organic sound using European Folk instrumentation. Musicians are: Violin: Michaela Nachtigall Viola: Andrew Steffen Guitar: Jordan Chin Bodhran: Ian Martyn Mixing by John Montoya So what does everyone think? Would you like to see an album of music like this?

Hey everyone! I am wanting to do submit this one and I am looking for feedback! I am very new to mixing my own as I have simply arranged through Sibelius. Anyway, I look forward to seeing what you all think! https://soundcloud.com/josh-barron/schalas-theme-for-orchestra

As of a few days ago I finished all of my end on arranging the music for this. All I am waiting on are for the recordings to be finalized. The album is on schedule .

Hey everyone! My name is Josh Barron and I am not sure if some of you have heard of me but I used to have Kingdom Hearts piano collection project a few years ago. I have come back into the industry with a labor of love that has been going on for quite some time. I have assembled a group of string musicians to perform arrangements from various game titles. I will be making an album and this album will be called The ETHEReal String Project. Here is the tracklist: 1.

Trisection for String Orchestra (from FINAL FANTASY TACTICS) 5. Eruyt Village for Piano and String Quintet (from FINAL FANTASY XII) 6. I Was Lost Without You for Piano and String Quintet (from MASS EFFECT 3) 7. And Thus Fate Becomes Cruel for String Orchestra (from HEROES OF MANA) 8. Eternity ~ Memories of Light and Waves for Piano and String Orchestra (from FINAL FANTASY X-2) 9. Honor, Sacrifice, Glory: Variations on Themes from Halo 2 for String Orchestra (from HALO 2) 10.

Sulyya Springs for Viola and Piano (FINAL FANTASY XIII) The release date will be July 28th. I am posting this to generate awareness of this project in the hopes that many of you will enjoy this music I have worked so hard to create. Feel free to check out the samples and complete tracks that I have provided on my SoundCloud page which can be found here: https://soundcloud.com/josh-barron/sets/etherealstringproject Enjoy and please offer feedback as I always look to improve . Keep in mind the recordings aren't final versions so the sound may or may not be different in the final release.

I wouldn't mind giving Meridian Dance a shot. I have always enjoyed that one .

I have sent a message as well. Good luck to everyone!
