I made two midi songs from the Basil Poledouris Conan the Barbarian soundtrack. I almost re-produced them note for note (they took me many weeks of work). I used Cubase VST.

Zoë Poledouris (born August 25, 1973) also known as Zoë Roché since her marriage, is an American actress, musician, and film composer. She is the daughter of the film composer Basil Poledouris.
Biography[edit]
The elder of Basil Poledouris' two daughters, Zoë was born in Los Angeles. She grew up interpreting her father's music with movement on ice as a competitive figure skater. At the age of nine years, she performed a piece on the recorder for her father which became the French horncounter-melody for 'The Orgy', which was featured in Conan the Barbarian (1982). Zoë received co-writing credit and became one of the youngest members of BMI.
Following her graduation from Bennington College, Zoë presented demos of her songs to friend and film composer Christopher Tyng, who helped to further produce her songs. One of these songs, a curious dance number called 'Into It', was chosen by director Paul Verhoeven to be performed in Starship Troopers and also 'I Have Not Been To Oxford Town' (1997), a cover of a David Bowie song from the album Outside (1995). Zoë also makes a cameo appearance in Starship Troopers at a school dance as the band's singer. Other films that feature samples of Zoë's work include Cecil B. DeMented (2000) and Shadow of Doubt (1998). Down and Out with the Dolls (2001) not only features Zoë's score music but also features her in a starring role. Zoë with her husband Angel Roché Jr. scored Magnolia Pictures 2014 animated film The Hero of Color City. Poledouris also performed in the Exodus Film Group / Cinedigm animated feature Bunyan and Babe released in 2017.
She is currently writing and performing music with her husband in their Los Angeles based band, Looner.

Basil Konstantine Poledouris (/ˈpɒlɪdʊərɪs/; August 21, 1945 – November 8, 2006) was a Greek-American composer, conductor, and orchestrator of film and television scores,[1] best known for his long-running collaborations with directors John Milius and Paul Verhoeven. Among his works are scores for the films Conan the Barbarian (1982), Red Dawn (1984), Iron Eagle (1986), RoboCop (1987), The Hunt for Red October (1990), Free Willy (1993), Starship Troopers (1997) and Les Miserables (1998). Poledouris won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited Series, Movie, or Special for his work on the four-part miniseries Lonesome Dove in 1989, and was a four-time recipient of the BMI Film Music Award.
Life and career[edit]
Born in Kansas City, Missouri, he credited two influences with guiding him towards music: the first was composer Miklós Rózsa; the second his own Greek Orthodox heritage. Poledouris was raised in the Church, and he used to sit in services enthralled by the choir's sound.[2] At the age of seven, Poledouris began piano lessons, and after graduation from Garden Grove High School, he enrolled at the University of Southern California to study both filmmaking and music. Several short films to which he contributed are still kept in the university's archives. At USC, Poledouris met movie directors John Milius and Randal Kleiser, with whom he would later collaborate as a music composer. He appeared as a background extra in several episodes of Star Trek: The Original Series.[3] In 1985, Poledouris wrote the music for Paul Verhoeven's Flesh & Blood, establishing a durable collaboration.
Poledouris became renowned for his powerfully epic style of orchestral composition and his intricate thematic designs. He scored the soundtrack for The Blue Lagoon (1980; dir: Kleiser); Conan the Barbarian (1982; dir: Milius); Conan the Destroyer (1984); Red Dawn (1984; dir: Milius), Iron Eagle (1986); RoboCop (1987; dir: Verhoeven); The Hunt for Red October (1990); Quigley Down Under (1990 Simon Wincer); Free Willy (1993) and its first sequel Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home (1995); Starship Troopers (1997; dir: Verhoeven); and For Love of the Game (1999).
Poledouris' studio, 'Blowtorch Flats', was located in Venice, California, and was a professional mixing facility specializing in film and media production.
Poledouris married his wife Bobbie in 1969; they had two daughters, Zoë and Alexis. His elder daughter, Zoë Poledouris, is an actress and film composer, who occasionally collaborated with her father in composing film soundtracks.
In 1996, Poledouris, alongside James Horner, composed 'The Tradition of the Games'[4] for the Atlanta Olympics opening ceremony that accompanied the memorable dance tribute[5] to the athletes and goddesses of victory of the ancient Greek Olympics using silhouette imagery.[6]
Poledouris spent the last four years of his life residing on Vashon Island, in Washington State. He died on November 8, 2006, in Los Angeles, California, aged 61, from cancer.[7]
