Listening To: Kryptic Minds & Leon Switch: No Remorse
The music for the kids tv show is more or less finished. There will be some minor tweaks when we add it to the graphics but that will not be a big deal. It has been interesting to work with it since I have been asked to make it more of a traditional film score thing. Now it is not exactly a film score, but the instrumentation is pretty much orchestral all the way through (except for the drums).
It is not easy to breath some life into orchestral samples.. It took a lot of automation and messing about. All that for 16 seconds of music... *sigh* At least I recorded the sax and the trumpet myself...
Not that I have not done this kind of thing before (did music for another show a few years ago) but I still I learnt a lot though... Both about how to work with orchestration but also about how to communicate about music with non-musicians... :-O
Not sure if I can put any of the music online... Will check with them when I have made the final delivery.
The Drum and Bass track (it will be called: "I don't want to be closer" btw) is almost finished. There are a few minor things that need to be fixed, but I hope to fix them tonight or tomorrow night.
That brings me to a point... I have been debating whether to save stuff for demos and possible exclusive releases or not... In particular I am working on a Drum and Bass demo and I have decided to put everything up available as stream-only. Not that it is impossible to stream it to disk or anything but I seriously doubt that any label would care. Besides I also doubt that any label would want to release it, not due to lack of quality rather I know from first hand experience how incredibly hard it is to release anything offline these days (been running the Chillosophy Music label together with a friend, but I guess that most of you that read this already know this).
Anyhow, I think it is time to end this nonsense rant now... I will make another post as soon as I have put up the Drum and Bass demo.
/Yours truly
