Song: The Journey (Kroc’s Theme)
There are several noticeable differences between this and the original; I’ve tried to rewrite some of the weaker sections without changing the song too much (it is, after all, a theme song hehe). Also, the change of the lead instrument to a Spanish trumpet turned out as good as I could have hoped. Spanish trumpets are awesome!
Song: Remember
“Remember” is a simple remix of the 2nd half of “Cyaron’s Gate” – which tells you how long ago I wrote it (~1999). Despite its age, I still find it to be one of my more majestic themes. I’ve not done much to change it from the piano version to the MIDI version, and I don’t know that I’ll ever change this theme much. There’s something invariably nostalgic about compositions from early in your career, and messing with songs from that era just seems…wrong…
Song: From Here
There are a lot of cool features in this song, the main one being that this song uses only three (yes, three) different chords. Written in C# minor, all I used was the VI, VII, and i chords – repeated in the same pattern throughout – as part of an experiment to see what I could accomplish with a minimalist chord structure… And even I was surprised at the outcome. This song is epic. This song is beautiful. This song is grand.
