Day 121: Finishing Unfinished Work

Started on today's piece a little while ago and it just wasn't making sense.  Worked on a few versions of it and didn't like any of them.  Was going to try for something completely different using Reason 7 and then I realized "There's nothing wrong with this.  These ARE the droids I'm looking for!"

It originally came from KristinaJoy over at hitRECord.

Day 73: Dark, Quick

Just a short work with horns, celeste, and piano.   The piano and celeste are from the Abbey Road Refills collection from Propellerheads.  One of my favorites.

Day 58: Film Music

Film music is something I hold very near and dear to my heart.  Actors on the screen are attempting to invoke an emotion, meanwhile the composer is attempting to do the same, but in a (usually) much more subtle manner.  This is an example of a less subtle manner, but an example all the same.

I imagine two possible applications here:

1. The King approaches on his horse (slow motion), sword drawn, about to deliver the felling blow to our hero, who is down.  Music ends after he dismounts and takes a few steps, bringing him inches away from the hero.

2.  The aged, evil king is slowly making his way across the throne room, all eyes on him, his would-be successor watches and plots.

Day 32: In the Still of the Nite

Something dark, different, and driving for a late night.  A "modern" classical work, featuring atonal harmony, and very dense chord clusters.
Not sure why, maybe it's the old subconscious working something out, maybe it's just a change from electronic music and "every day" routine.


Oh yeah, made it a month!  Hooray!  (Celebration begins playing in background)
