Another theme from the film Hook, composed by John Williams. I'm playing the piano and whistling along to the tune. As you do.

Improvisation on the piano. One of many great themes from the movie Hook. Composed by John Williams.
Performed by me. Includes wrong notes and dodgy time keeping. It's a windy, rainy Saturday evening and it's been a while since I recorded myself playing the piano.

Xbox Avatars Revisited... musically. Work-In-Progress. Just for fun. Maybe I'll make a suite of tracks. Between baking bread and playing pickleball, I wrote this tune today. More than anything else I've written, the Avatar Editor music is shared the most.

Sunday morning. Baking bread.
The excitement, buzz, and smells of thousands of people at E3 2005 in LA. See the Conker: Live & Reloaded memorabilia prototypes and the @rare.co.uk Conker & Kameo @xbox.com booths. Some of the dev team members that made the games lurking in the crowds. Filmed by me.

Dream A Little Dream Of Me
A quick recording. A request from me for my gf to sing and play the piano parts of Dream A Little Dream Of Me. I added a sprinkle of orchestra, and mixed in Cubase. Just a few hours to do this, a favourite oldie song of mine.

"Smile" composed by Charlie Chaplin. I asked my gf if she could quickly learn it, then sing and play the piano parts. I orchestrated it, mostly string orchestra, in a couple of hours. The challenge for me was there was no set tempo, it was recorded free time. My Cubase session.

Only heard about this today, thanks to a comment on my Youtube channel. My musical themes to the @Xbox Avatars were used in @SEGA Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, which came out in 2012. The track wasn't written by me, but used my melodies.

A piano waltz that I wrote when I was 19 years old. Found it in the attic. My piano playing is a little rusty, but it goes something like this.

As a follow up to my previous post of unused music written for Viva Piñata, here is some music that was used in the game. Hurrah! Romance Dances... frolicking around in the freshly cut grass ;) Nearly the game's 20th Anniversary.

I was four in 2010 when I created my Avatar with my older sibling and I distinctly remember this music as part of my childhood. I didn't know you had made it (according to Wikipedia), thanks for making it 🙂.

Nearly 20 years since Viva Piñata came out on the Xbox 360, here are some of the unused tracks (at least I think they're unused!) that I wrote at the start of the game's development before popping back over to finish the Kameo soundtrack. #vivapinata
