  1. Add to those two short films (the music for the first I am 98% done with today), a third short film (animation).

    Always up for the challenge.

    I assume you'll be posting MP3s of the scores for all these short films? I'm quite interested to hear how you write in the context of film (though I'm pretty sure we all know the answer to that wink).
  3. New piece:

    I have permission to share the music for the short film before it's viewing, so I am deciding if I am going to do it, how much, what quality, so forth.

    Zipadeedoo! From the 40 second mark to the end... BLOODY BRILLIANT!

    Bring on your film score! I see comparisons to Herrmann and Doyle coming your way!

    I'm assuming this thread can be used as a general compositions thread? If not, I apologise.

    Anyway.

    As of next year I will be studying composition more in-depth as I go into my second year of my degree. One of the tasks we will be set is to simply create a 4 minute long track for four or more instruments in whichever style we choose (and record it with live players, a daunting task if you ask me). I will obviously opt for an orchestral/acoustic sound, and perhaps even more obviously it will be very film music influenced. I don't profess to be a particularly good composer, but I do relish a challenge!

    So what will I base it on? Would you believe it, string theory! biggrin Well, why not? It is a proposed theory of everything after all, and one of its fundamental features is analogous to the different notes heard from different vibrations on a cello. It's often described as The Cosmic Symphony.... so why not name a piece of music after the theory? (Perhaps "The Cosmic Symphony: A Piece for String Theory" dizzy ) Pretentious? For me to attempt it, most definitely. But I thought the idea itself was fascinating, and gave me some sort of context for whatever I come with, even if a mere mortal like me is quite clearly unable to express the magnitude of such a theory through music. shame

    Just thought I'd share something that's been swimming around my head for a couple of days now.
  9. Untitled 10:

    When I have money and actual musical skills, I am dumping FL Studio. Sure it's good enough to practice on an hone, but it's a terrible program for scoring, and as I found out a few days ago -- it's got two more large set backs to creating music:

    1. Since it's a pain in the ass to enter quick each note manually, you can use your keyboard, but sadly it's got a delay from key to play, and even if you compensate, the program still can't produce quick notes right.

    2. Even if you slow down the note, say you are going G, A, G, A -- repeating those in a semi quick fashion -- it doesn't matter if you keep rhythem, the program hs this weird way of disrupting the rhythmic pattern.

    So you're admitting that you currently lack musical skills?! shocked That's the first step! I'm proud of you! applause beer

    Steven, I find that very interesting. I had no idea this what what you did. Good luck!

    I know of string theory, but don't know anything except what I've heard from the documentaries that explain everything without mentioning the mathematical reasonings behind it. I'd be very interested to hear what your ideas are for this. I love the title idea "piece for string theory". My old teacher used to warn me that a title's importance today is 50%, so based on that you could more or less sell your piece on the strength of the title alone.

    Is the String Theory still standing then? I thought it was now less commonly accepted than some time ago.

    I should be enlightened.

    Cheers Mark. smile

    It's born more out of my shear enthusiasm for string theory (and physics in general) rather than my belief that I could actually pull it off with any style. But as I said it does at least give me some sort of context to build any ideas -good or bad- upon.

    And yes, string theory is still very much standing. In fact, it's sometimes criticized for being a "bandwagon theory", perhaps meaning that its popularity should in no way be tantamount to its validity. (But does at least appear to work wonderfully in theory, though there other theories too like quantum loop gravity.)

    I need someone with a bit more musical knowledge than I have to look over an (not wholly finished) orchestral arrangement of a Russian folk song that I did. Any voluntaries? spin

    I think that makes a great theme. In musical terms perhaps you might experiment with things such as the collision of different metres, different keys, different tempos. A juxtaposition of contrasting musical parametres that might give an idea of how the various dimensions fit together in a single puzzle of physics? dizzy

  22. This one is much more melodic than your usual stuff, still nowhere near Zimmer's talent and knack for melody in a similar sound. Did you plan that dissonance though.

    Orchestrations suck a bit. And what's a pizzacato?

    In the last section piano piece I aimed for some kind of dissonance, but since I don't have the precise knowledge to pull itt off, I just did the best I could. I felt it went well over piano which never really fully resolved and just kept going.


    Pizzacato is a one letter mispelling of pizzicato.
