I don’t usually swing this way compositionally – but in this case, I’m actively trying to dish out some heebie jeebies. This piece hurts. It is really difficult to listen to… the first dozen times at least.
Unlight
Lost of non-standard techniques all over the orchestra – most strikingly in the strings and brass.
Ends unsatisfylingly. :-)

yes, music…
First off, a beautiful drone synth piece: Mirage
And next, continuing on the epic trail of “Five Armies”, a bit of the aftermath: Death of Kings

And a bit of a clarification on what’s going on with the YouTube situation.
Here is the general problem: other publishers are claiming my music as theirs, and causing all sorts of panic by totally well-meaning content creators.
The problems are with very few pieces: Frost Waltz, Shiny Tech, Clenched Teeth, and pieces from Satie and Bach. If you avoid those pieces – you probably won’t ever have any issues.
I’ve sent all of the information that I can to a rep at YouTube. He said that the publishers in question (the ones claiming my original music) are in violation of their contract and will be required to remove the pieces from the Content ID system.
The publishers who are claiming the public domain music I’ve recorded (Satie and Bach) are a little trickier. My guess is that they will be warned to actually CHECK each time a false match is contested.
I will let you know more when I hear more.

Okay, you epic-film-score-loving peoples….
Five Armies
This is a recording that I’m quite excited about. I violated a few orchestral scoring rules in it – but it still works quite well.
Production notes:
This uses the new Hollywood Brass samples – but only 8 patches.
Strings are from Hollywood Strings
Orchestral bass drum is from Heavyocity “Evolve”
Winds and other percussion are from “Orchestra Gold”
Assembled in Logic Studio

I just talked with a rep from YouTube.
They are now aware of the problem at a very high level, and I need to prep a document for them.
I have many examples that you all have sent me over the last few months; but it would be very helpful to me (personally) if you could send them to me again in this format:
Channel Name:
Link to Video:
Name of the Owner claiming a license:
Name of the Asset they are claiming was infringed:
Pieces of music you used from me: (if known)
Please, please get this to me by Thursday Morning (12 hours from now).
Thank you so much.
