Youtube covers!

Hey!

Kind of long time since last entry! During this time I've been working in creating new compositions and arrangements. In this case, there is no new sheet music, but I would like to show you the newest cover of the Youtube channel.

The first is my interpretation of the latest cover uploaded to this blog, Aquatic Ruin, from Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Don't forget to download the sheets if you like how it sounds!

Later, I did some fast improvisation over the Steven's Universe main theme. Still I am not very convinced of how it sounds, so I haven't done a written version -I simply improvise over the theme every time. The coffee shop of the International Centre of Theoretical Physics in Trieste is a bit noisy, but a bit of production fixed that.

Finally, I decided to start with something different: since I am doing a collection of 16-bit-themed covers of several songs, I recorded a "live cover", playing the lead synth of Sparkle, from the film Kimi no na wa (Your Name). I like a lot the result, so please listen a bit to it!!

In this holidays, I am pracitising my orchestration and orchestral habilities -I want to improve for large ensembles. So you can expect some new version for chamber orchestra! Wait for it!

See you all!

Youtube (the return) + commissions open!

Hi everybody!

Today I bring you some juicy news: first, I decided to upload things to Youtube again!
However, not Synthesia videos anymore. This time, I am going to use Youtube to play some of my new arrangements, upload some compositions and improvisations... So, something more relaxed. Also, I do not want to put myself any regularity, like weekly or monthly, so maybe you see 3 videos in a row and nothing for months. I simply want to do it for fun.
Of course, the videos will be always ad-free.

The other news are more serious. I announce that I am available for commissions, specially to compose videogame OSTs. You can listen to some of my works in SoundCloud. Most of them are the result from jams, meaning that they've been composed in 48h maximum. I feel comfortable with jazzy stuff, chamber instruments, piano & strings, and also with retro chiptune synths.

If you're working in an indie videogame OST and want some music, you can contact me by direct message on Twitter (it is the easiest way, really).

Finally, the sheet music corresponding to my first Youtube cover has been just uploaded, enjoy it!!

New work!

Hi all!

I have just uploaded a piano arrangement of the brand-new trailer of Kingdom Hearts 3, Don't Think Twice! I think it is a really nice song. I tried to keep as much as the original feeling of the song, but with all that post-production it is a bit complicated sometimes.

You can find as always in the sheet music section.

Also, I hope I will upload some sheet music I have mostly finished -that at the end I never really completed.

Let's see what's the summer has for the blog!

Cheers!

Victor Seven's Music goes Open Source!

Hello all!

Today I have added a new arrangement, from the awesome game Sonic Mania. In particular, this is the Mirage Saloon Act 2 music, for Piano Solo. I put a lot on effort on it, so I hope you guys will like it.

However, the main novelty about this arrangement is that it has been made with MuseScore. Until this point, I was using propietary software to make the sheets. In the last days, I have realized that this open source software is really as good as Sibelius or Finale, at least for non very specialized things. Then, I decided to give it a chance, and I got totally convince: so switching to MuseScore!

This means that in the next days I am going to open a MuseScore account. You will find all the new music also there. That also means that I will have no support for older music done with the propietary software.

Have fun!

The Dropbox error fixed!

Good day everybody!

As I told you, there was an error with the sheet music uploaded to Dropbox. Today I fixed all the problems with the sheet music. If you find any other problem with a 404 error when downloading sheet music, please let me know in the comments so I can fix it.

On the other hand, it turned out that I had a lot of sheet music in my folder, which was not uploaded... So I uploaded everything today! So the bad news are that the blog has been inactive for a year and a half; but the good ones are that now you have all the new sheet music.

These include some from animation series, such as Gravity Falls and Steven Universe, one more from Kid Icarus, a nice arrangment of the Destiny Islands from Kingdom Hearts, and much more!

Hope you enjoy the sheets! And poke me if you find problems!

Regards,
Victor.

Dropbox Error!

Hello everybody,

I know that, from some time ago, you are obtaining that 404 error from Dropbox when you try to download the sheet music. 

This is because Dropbox changed the way it shares public files, and now the public links have to be managed manually. Of course, this is not a problem for new stuff, but all the old stuff is currently unreachable.

I had been very busy, but now I can fix all the problems. Let me this week to re-generate and edit all the links in the download page.

All the sheet music will be available next week again. Sorry for the possible inconveniences caused. 

And thank you for the support!

Some updates!

Hey! After a pair of years of inactivity (due to my studies in the university), I've come back with some new sheet music, and also answered some of your comments (from 2013, don't know if the answer is useful...)

I have to say that in my music folder I have some unfinished songs which I want to finish and upload. Some from Kid Icarus: Uprising, a pair from Arriety, and some interesting violin - piano ensembles. I think you'll enjoy that songs.
Let's see if I can make some updates to the Youtube channel also.

The songs uploaded are the menu theme from Kid Icarus: Uprising (Viridi version), for piano solo, which is really easy to play -good news for beginners.  Also, you have a string orchestra version of This is Halloween. In my opinion the arragement sounds really close to the original, so it's excellent for your Christmas concert ;D Thanks to this I had to open a new section in the Sheet Music page, called "Misc" for non anime/videogames music.
Finally, a 2 violin + piano ensemble of Always with me, from Spirited Away. 

And, as I've said, there's more unfinished material in my folder. Also, I can't promise anything, but the Xenoblade Chronicles OST looks so great... 

Ah! One more thing. In the next weeks, I have one surprise more! This is a big one. Expect something in the blog!
Remember that you stay in contact in social media like Twitter or Google+, if you have some feedback.

See you all!
