Hello fellow composers.

As a film score composer I find it enormously fun and constructive to share my music with others and vice versa, sharing advice and ideas with others.
And thats what this thread is for.



Some of my work below.

Oh come on... no one?

Ok - I'll bite!

I had a listen to a few and here's some thoughts.
Torch - had some really nice interesting musical ideas - riffs, melodies, chord changes, structure. I could see this working in a game soundtrack context also.
I enjoyed it on that level, but the mix and production on the track I felt could have been more dynamic. I had a listen here in my studio on a big et of monitors and the mix still sounded tiny. What are you using to make your music? Any particular kind of software? Are you mastering your output in any way?

Cold Drift - again, nice and synthy, atmospheric. I liked the dischordant tones, static and beep bits juxtaposed against the strings. Again, unexpected and interesting harmony choices. I like.

Party on the Lunar Surface - I really like your delayed piano here... or is a harp? Whatever it is I am definitely digging it during the opening. Not so sure about the announcement of the "ravey" riff, seems to stumble in at an odd moment (well for me, on the first listen anyway). Also, the water sounds made me want to go to the toilet! But I like the end, with the big chordy layers piling up.

All in all, I'm digging the synth work, layers and atmospheres. Again, I feel like the production could be a little more spread out over the sound spectrum - especially in terms of more extreme high and low end.

What keyboards do you use? I find that the Novation Nova and the Access Virus C can compliment each other well. One is thin and trebbly and the other is fat and beefy. Here's a couple of my creations....

Think "Discovery Channel show about wildlife".....
