Destinations
This six-song album will be Darion’s first ever release of a solo project. It is a compilation of songs he’s written throughout his life connected by the theme of journeys to various destinations, such as a new home, a stronger state of mind, and even death.
Darion’s Pop Songs
These demos are not currently part of any larger album or project, but they are still an important part of Darion’s catalogue!
‘Different’ is the first love ballad Darion ever wrote
‘Come Back to Me’ is about wanting to help a loved one struggling with depression
‘The Choice’ describes the feeling of finally having a sense of direction in life
Classical Pieces
Darion was first introduced to music in a classical context, so classical music is still a large influence on his writing. Here are a few classical compositions of his - Through the Turn and Resilience are string quartets, while With Wings of Stone is a piano solo piece.
Media Composition
Darion has also tried his hand at scoring for media; here are some samples of his work in that field.
‘Standard Issue’ is a rescore of a car chase scene from HBO’s Westworld. The original dialogue and sound effects were provided through Spitfire Audio’s Westworld Scoring Competition, enhancing the effect of the score.
‘Catalyst’ is a rescore of a fight scene from the video game Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII. Unlike the Westworld scene, the entirety of the original scene’s audio has been muted, so the only sound is the music.
‘Phase One’ is a rescore of the escape scene from the film The Silence of the Lambs. This scene, too, has the original audio muted.
