    Blake Robinson has put together a "synthetic orchestration" of the original Wing Commander theme music. The track retains the original's character while adding a nice richness to it. Blake has done a number of reorchestrations for other game series, such as Gears of War and Resident Evil. You can listen to the new WC creation below or grab an mp3 at Soundcloud here.




    Thanks to MannPower for spotting this one!

    Had a listen to it, and it is sweet! All I'd like now is to find it as a ring tone for my phone!

    Top stuff!

    Wow. Great orchestration! :)

    I'd love to hear him take a crack at Wing Commander 3!

    Just checked out more of his work on SoundCloud. He's an incredibly talented musician. :cool:

    As good as I've ever heard the opening fanfare, though it'd sure be nice if, one of these days, one of these arrangements actually finished the tune.

    I just found my new alarmclock... Can he do the "scramble" tune next?

    I use the scramble tone from here as my text alert. Annoys the hell out of my mates :D

    WOW! This guy is damn good! Normally I can identify a digistal orchestra instantly. But his work is SO good...it keeps me thinking for a while. Listen to Alan Wake ReOrchestrated...
