Connor Helms is a young, award-winning contemporary Classical composer from Arizona who draws on an eclectic palette of musical influences. An aficionado of non-Western music, nearly all of his works have a tinge of various cultures without sounding cliched or gimmicky. Connor has a particular affinity for Japanese, Chinese, and other Eastern musical styles, which shows through in his more traditional-sounding ethnic pieces. He currently works as an orchestrator and composer of film and game music, and he also produces Electronic tracks.
The soprano sax is the perfect solo instrument to carry such a somber tune. The backing orchestra does not detract from this feeling but instead serves to introduce the bittersweet atmosphere and support it. A couple twists and turns such as a harp solo and sax/harp duet along with full tutti. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
A cascading and tumultuous marimba, a piercing and fluid oboe, and a powerful cello coalesce for an African rhythm inspired delirium. Its dizzying minimalist cells make for great psychotic and mental breakdowns of any genre, whether comedy or horror. Atonal and neo-tonal madness! Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
Temperatures begin to chill, leaves begin to fall. Snow accumulates, and the atmosphere is set for the Holidays. Jazzy and impressionistic, a distinctly American style of orchestration through stacking and planing. A range of extended techniques make for dynamic textures, perfect for any Fall scenes, Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
A brooding soundscape, followed by a drawn out passage of orchestral hits. Unrelenting, unforgiving, the hits just won't stop. Faster and faster, darker and darker, the chords growing more gruesome. Ends with a drawn out dissonant piano. Perfect for slasher flicks, stabbing scenes, gore scenes, Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
Floating but dense and weighted. Lively and spritely but dark and heavy. A contrast of dance rhythms with muddy quartal and extended tertian harmony for a chamber ensemble theme fit for a madman. Perfect for the evil manor overlords or elegant and refined demi-humans. Hits and wind down at the end. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
Diabolic shadows float by. The nocturnal creatures are out, but the moon is not. A vigorous piano harmonics rhythm, bowed vibraphone screeches, conch shell tone flute, clarinet barrel pops, screechy bridge bowed contrabass, and animal cries by blowing glissandi through a removed bassoon. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
Contemporary Classical, chamber ensemble. Odd timbers and colors, striking harmonies and melodies, plenty of rests and breathing space. Easy to cut up due to long rests, so no need to worry over tempo syncing. Slow, unsettling. Great for murder, crime, biopics, thriller and suspense. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
A modified Pierrot Lunaire ensemble. A melancholic atmosphere lays out the scene of a small town with dark secrets. The haunting melody in the solo piano slowly builds as marimba, then viola, trumpet, contrabass, and finally winds are added. Somber winds and high strings build to a vibraphones fade. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
A piano, upright bass, and clarinet are caught in a mutli-dimensional journey. From dark and haunting child-like piano melodies, to driving African rhythms, to beautiful clarinet solos and more - a perfect track that is easy to cut up for any game or film in the thriller or horror genre! Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
Things start off bleak. The bleakness gets even worse. The woodwinds get clustered closer together, things start getting louder and more chaotic. Then a moment of halcyon overpowers as the ensemble rings a bright sounding sustain. But life is a roller coaster, ending with dissonant piano sustain. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
Steady and stately rhythm, with an unsettled atmosphere. The harmony is quartal and extended tertian, offering a slightly dense and dark style of upbeat dance. Backing in the piano, marimba, and contrabass for driving rhythm. The woodwinds take turns playing variations of the melody. Wind down fade. Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
A clash right at the start; the full force of the chamber orchestra with a dissonant sustaining piano chord. Next odd timbers (such as bowed bridge on contrabass) lay over a bed of dissonant and haunting woodwind backing. Dark vibraphone middleground to top it off, Instrumental, Classical, 21st Century
