This is an orchestral cover of Outset Island from Wind Waker originally featured on the 2012 Synthetic Orchestra Christmas Calendar. Due to popular demand I've gone back and remastered/remixed these pieces (where possible) to remove the sleigh-bells and Christmassy aspects.
The second track from Daniel Licht''s awesome Dishonored soundtrack. I'm a massive fan of Licht and this love this game's soundtrack - some parts of it are very Dextery. Here's an orchestration of Intro the Return.
This is an orchestral cover of The Giants' Theme from Zelda Majora's Mask. I'd never paid much attention to the Zelda music until recently. I wish I had gotten into it much earlier as there's so many good pieces of music hidden behind 8bit blips and blops and Nintendo MIDIness. I tried to keep faithful while adding a little of my own style.

A quick re-orchestration of Amestris Military March from the Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood soundtrack to practice with brass and choir. I was relatively happy with the results, but I could have done better with more than an hour spare.
Sometimes bits of music just don't make the final cut on an album. Here's a piece that didn't get onto the track list for my upcoming release. It's the pause music from in-game in Banjo-Kazooie.

iluvpopcorn23: This is going to be awesome. Will it include Tooie music?
A little wiggly ditty that is, was or will be based on the Luteces from Bioshock Infinite. They have awesome motifs that feature when they make an appearance throughout the game and I wanted to recreate and play about with it a little.
