This is my submission for the link KING OF BEATS GEMS EDITION beatmaking contest!

I chose the Czar midi loops from the Free Gems Pack, provided by Cymatics, which sounded amazing to me!

And to make it uniquely my own, I added some additional layers to the existing loops as the track progressed, and additional sounds from all over the world, including my own vocal phrases and harmonies! :-)

May be a little different but it's Hip-Hop at the core and I hope you enjoy it! A lot!

Follow the contest on instagram and please vote for me if you like what I did! :-)
Here's the link to vote for me at the contest!!

My Submission for the awesome Spitfire Audio "Score a scene" competition for a chase sequence from season 3 of HBO's West World! Above or on the video link please watch the fully scored scene with my music! Quite exciting! :-)

Thank you Paul Thompson for facilitating such a fine clip for us composers around the world to lick our chops over! :-)

The tips you provided in your video on how to set up hitpoints for scoring were just so helpful, and finally clarified the process to me after years of frustration!

Looking forward to scoring many more scenes, and hopefully films, maybe as part of your team one day!!

Best regards!

As news of the global pandemic and more drastic actions taken to prevent its spread permeated the news last week, I felt inspired (I believe by the Universal and Divine Holy Spirit within all of us) to voice this prayer for the world to come together with the grace of God's aid during this devastating health and economic crisis. I then set it to music for 4 voices in the style of an Elizabethan English Anthem, one of my favorite genres of all time.

I sent the scores to my talented friends and colleagues, Audrey Fernandez-Fraser and Benjamin Doyle and asked them to record first audio, then video for this virtual quartet. Truly virtual as this quartet could never exist in reality as Audrey sang both the soprano and alto parts-into her cellphone no less, but to satisfactory effect!

I hope it brings you some meditative reflection, inspiration, peace, comfort and hope for our leaders and all humanity to join forces in this isolating time, apart but together!

If you do, please share it freely with any friends, family, choirs, churches, music directors, people who are suffering and need consolation, etc. who may be looking for something inspirational and hopeful that this prayer and music offers!

Musically yours,

EP

Oh Lord be merciful unto thy children,
For we have gone astray.

We have put our trust not in Thee,
But have scorned Thy commandements
And become proud in the imagination of our hearts.

Help us to help one another
And seek not the treasure of gold,
But the treasure of Thy Holy Spirit
That dwelleth in ourselves and in our brothers.

Let the nations all with one accord
Show forth to all the People
Thy tender and loving mercy
And give unto them their daily bread
And deliverance from the scourge.

Amen.

Please vote for my song "Caro Mea" for the "Voices of Opera" contest by East/West ending 5/19!

1st prize is some cash, but 2 runners up will get use of the Voices of Opera Library for one year!
For the contest, the song has to feature Voices of Opera prominently. I created a 4 part motet on the text "Caro Mea", but of course only on vowels, lol!

Right now the leader has 177 votes, but I only have 7, so I really need your help! Every vote counts and will keep me in the top 20 contention! :-)

Then I divided this into sections and created a downtempo R&B/Chillout Hybrid!
Please vote for me here!

Thanks for your vote! It should take you less than 30 seconds and would mean the world to me!
