Times Have Changed - Original Song by Layne Lee
We're going BACK IN TIME! Wanted to go with this VHS style edit for this particular video. And as for that doll...it may have it's own standalone video coming later. I want to commit to creating more...because when I'm creating is when I feel best. As for the song, it's an 80s inspired piece, influenced also by the work of Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein for Stranger Things. The video as a whole was just me. Lighting, filming, editing...and of course, scoring!
(And yes. The date on the tape is a month ago, and many years ago. It just plays with the time element!)

Wicked Game - Orchestral Cover By Layne Lee (Original Song by Chris Isaak)
Просмотров 2804 месяца назад
Today, for something different! I challenged myself to orchestrate and arrange a popular song. Well, "Wicked Game" has been stuck in my head recently...so this is the one that was chosen! It's such an interesting and unique song. Amazing storytelling through it's lyrics. I hope to evoke that same unrequited love but through the voice of the symphony, or maybe...as I think all good covers should...

Back again today, for the first time in a bit, with this piece for piano and string! With all the recent cold, and snow, and ice...I worked on this song. Wasn't intending it to be a theme for the state of winter that we're in, but it worked. It felt fitting...especially with this picture of my sidewalk as the backdrop. - If you would like to use this, or any of my other songs in short films or ...

Hello all! It's been a while. But here's a new orchestral piece! I shot all this video over the weekend during a little getaway.

As we all know, The Last of Us took the world by storm. And how could it not? So, I wanted to do something in the vein of the soundtrack to the show! This was my attempt at making my own little apocalypse soundtrack. For this piece, I used a few instruments from Spitfire Audio LABS and then the Nylon String Guitar from Amadeus Symphonic. Made in FL Studio. Video edited in Premiere Pro! Would lo...
The Unknown (Original Song by Layne Lee)

It's been a minute since my last post! So, here's a new video. I have something different in the works for a song that I'm really excited to share. But for now...we have "The Unknown". In this I wanted to make something cinematic. Grand. And what turned out was this song, which I feel has a Sci-Fi edge. Like someone exploring a planet that no one has touched. - If you would like to use this, or...
Stuck (Original Song by: Layne Lee)

The whole idea behind this video was the idea of being so consumed by some moment or action, that you become stuck. Repeating the same motions over and over again. Externally, you seem okay. But internally there's this battle. So that's the idea behind that! As for the song, I made actually only a couple of days before I'm posting this. The instrument is from Spitfire Labs and it was made in FL...

How about some nostalgia, anyone? (Well...I was born in 2000.) If you asked me, even a week ago, I wouldn't have expected to be uploading an 80s Video Game inspired Chiptune track...yet here we are!

Unseen (Original Song by Layne Lee)

For this song I wanted to make something basic, that carried an air of mystery. Like some unseen clue, or mysterious figure working behind the scenes. So I decided to go with some light, but tension-building orchestration. I am really happy with the outcome! Especially for a one-day project.

Wanderer (Original Song by Layne Lee)
Просмотров 34Год назад
For this song I wanted to keep things, for the most part, simple. In my mind it paints an orchestral picture of a quiet, but not always easy, journey. I named it in reference to that feeling, as "Wanderer". It slowly builds throughout its runtime while maintaining a central motif. Some parts of this were somewhat experimental, but I was pleased with the outcome. Let me know if you have a differ...
Undercover (Original Song by Layne Lee)

For this song, I wanted to just have a little fun. I find parts of it to be, almost spy-esque. However, mostly the sound I wanted to go for was a song that could go with some scenes of infiltrating a secret base or thing of that matter. I don't really know if my original plan/idea comes through here. But I hope you enjoy it! I would love to hear some interpretations on this as well! - If you wo...

Welcome back to my little corner of the internet! This week's song is one I composed in homage to the soundtrack of Stranger Things (especially given that the new season releases...next week!)

Wanted it to have that retrowave sound that the Stranger Things soundtrack has. - I would love some feedback and hope...
Love (Original Song by Layne Lee)

The other day I challenged myself to make a "Love theme." This little orchestral piece came out of the fold. To me, I think it feels very much like a theme for love, but I'd love to hear some other interpretations if anyone has any. I've found giving myself these little challenges has helped to break me out of my usual sounds and expand into new, and more interesting areas. - If you would like ...

    Much improved over the previous version! I like how you filled things out in the middle of the song and pulled back during the last minute. The orchestra instruments sound great. I think the song could be paired down in length some, it takes a while to get to the exciting mid-section (I always try to avoid going over 5 minutes with my songs but I get that that's a personal preference). You could also play around with upping the tempo just a little bit. If your piano is stored in your project as midi, try moving the notes slightly off beat and/or automating the bpm here and there to give a more natural feel to the cadence of the song. As for composition, I'd like to hear more 8th/16th notes, right now everything feels very "1 and 2 and 3 and 4...". However, this song has a lot of great themes and your really nailed the melancholy and dark feel of the Dark Knight. Also, and I think I mentioned this previously, but your piano sounds great. I have yet to get such a clear and pretty sound out of my VSTs.

    Wow this actually really awesome. I can’t believe you downplayed it in your description lol I can hear this getting synced with a movie. The beginning has a nice intensity to it and I can picture something happening in slow motion to the protagonist of the story, then adds that powerful triumph feeling comes in toward the middle the protagonist is overcoming something and pushing through, leading to the release of emotion and letting out the pain in the end. That’s just my take. This is nicely done and all the instrumentation and sound elements are spot on. You got a like from me! Keep sharing 🙏🏾

    Dark Knight or a Dark Night both describe this Dark piece of music. Just ominous enough but not too much. It's a great piano piece as it is performed but at times I wish the horns and strings would come in. It would make a very nice orchestral arrangement. Well done!
