So I've been writing a couple of new tracks to add to the Aphelion EP, which will then become a mini album, all re-mastered and properly released, along with the music video for Fhloston Paradise.
Not a perfect clip by any means but it's a great pedal and it's too bad they aren't producing more of them. I had to get that one off of Ebay but it was totally worth the money.
Updated it a little bit. Wasn't entirely satisfied with the way it was flowing, plus I fixed an issue with a plugin I was having, so I was able to throw in a whole section I originally cut due to the issue.
P.S. Turn the volume up to really hear all the details. It's a mellow song, but it translates well at high volumes.
Shenmue (1999) Intro scene- music score orchestra (project)

Hi Interlopers forum this is my Shenmue music project that I finally can release.
As explained over at Steam, I have been trying to build up my music portfolio so I have not really been mapping or 3d model making as much. Now this is finished I hopefully I will have some time to get back to 3d model making and mapping now.
Re-imagining, arranging of orchestra: mithius/lastburai (me)
SFX and voice from the game was gratefully provided by wude at the Shenmue dojo, thank you
Additional Sfx was added and mixed by me.
This piece of music is from the intro that plays in the game where Lan Di kills Iwao Hazuki
Version 4A is the original orchestral version with SFX and vocal arranged by me no score was used it was done by ear. And it is my representation of the original, or close as to the original. Including the cut of music that occurs.
Version 4B is the original as in version 4A but without SFX and vocals and also without the cut, it is the full version.
Version 4C Is a re-arrangement of some of the melodies from original score. I added some instruments consisting of more ethnic type instruments such as Bawa, Er Hu, Guzheng, Xiao and a few others. I added 4 distortion guitars, 2 clean guitars and a bass guitar in addition to the rest of the orchestra. The bass guitar is mixed perhaps at a low volume, because the orchestra also has a bass I decided to lower the bass guitar. This version also includes the SFX and vocals, there is also the cut that occurs somewhere near the beginning again like the original.
Version 4D is version 4C but without SFX and vocals and also without the cut, it is the full version.
Do not let the slow pace of the music deceive. This was extremely difficult for me to get right for some reason to play the guitar and bass parts precise, slow and due to the way the tempo fluctuates of the orchestra, when doing tremolando. There is really no places where the tempo is steady, using ramp tempos, where the ramp moves across a wide range of bars, it may sound odd but this is the reality of things. Also to create very long sustained notes with a guitar is another difficulty that seems to come natural to other string instruments.
Thanks for listening any feedback/critisim/thoughts and so on... would be great
