NEW: Beyond This Twilight (4:25 8.11mb) - In 2007 Trent Reznor (Nine Inch Nails) released a new album "Year Zero." Later that year, he released all of the songs from that album in multitrack format. He invited the public to take his compositions and remix them in any way they wanted, completely free of charge. This piece is Stephan's remix of one of the tracks from that album, "In This Twilight," which was also an inspiration in the creation of The Armageddon Overtures. This arrangement is a full orchestral and choral score, utilizing the lead vocal and drum tracks from the original album.
NEW: The Armageddon Overtures: The Final Day on Earth - On July 18, 2007, the artist completed a draft outline for an expansive new composition projecttitled "The Armageddon Overtures." Focusing on the final day of life on earth before "the end of time," this massive suite for full orchestra and choir was completed in February 2008. More information can be found on the author's updates and blog page. |

Orchestral: Prelude No. 6 "To Bold New Horizons"- This is the first composition to be written out in full score by the artist before being recorded. An uplifting melody is performed in several orchestral modes throughout the piece before finishing with a triumphant fanfare. You can also download the full orchestral score for this composition in Adobe PDF format.
Orchestral: Prelude No. 5 - The first new composition of 2007, this piece was inspired by a peaceful and warm springtime afternoon, and was composed, orchestrated, and completed in three hours time. Lighthearted and airy at first, it builds into an exciting crescendo of full orchestral power.
Orchestral: "The Knife" - This is a first draft of a movie score for an independent film project which was never released. This scene features rising tension as a car full of robbers was pulled over by a police officer, as one of the bandits reaches for a knife...
Orchestral: Prelude No. 4 - A quiet, soothing composition. Whereas so many of the composer's creations are powerful and bombastic, this piece provides a refreshing break in a contemplative and relaxing score.
Orchestral: "Unfinished Orchestral Work No. 1" - This is a majestic and uplifting piece, primarily fast-paced with a few softer passages intermixed. While the piece has been performed several times for the public, the composer never quite felt it was completed. Perhaps some day he'll find time to finish it.
Contemporary: 3 AM Blues - A contemporary jazz creation written several years ago and orchestrated recently. This piece features the piano but includes a jazz trio of bass, guitar, and drums, and even a violin section at the bridge.
