Glad you enjoyed it. Perhaps a little too third stream for most to enjoy. It needs a little work mixing but I didn't think it was that bad.....

Check out Powell's Hancock and X Men 3. He has some nice cues on that as well. Welcome to this forum as well Alice.

Alain, nice music. Really refreshing to hear someone write with a flair and competence for orchestra. I'm going to buy your Legend of Silkboy off of iTunes based on the samples. Really nice stuff. Other samples are equally inspired. Love your use of the octatonic scale in Fantastic Highway Chase as well as those pointillistic sections. Keeps the listener entertained. I also like the economy of orchestration. It's not all tutti chords but instead a nice thickness through contrapuntal writing- something that is sadly lacking in a lot of big Hollywood scores. And thanks for using percussion as an accentuation in your action music rather than groove oriented. Personally you've made my week with your music.

Cheers!

And I interrupted my Skyward Sword listening session for *this*?

Just joking ;)
I really love the theme starting at 2:20.

Maybe I'd include some more dynamic and tempo variations, but hearing this, I once again ask myself: why is every poor bastard out there (no offense KK), able to produce better music than many high-esteemed film composers?


Most likely because they don't have directors and producers telling them every two seconds to change something or get rid of the melody or "make it sound like Social Network".  They have more freedom to write whatever they want.

In Topic: Prelude to Prometheus- Orchestral Essentials Demo

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback.  Obviously my cue is an imaginary one that I came up with based on the trailer for Prometheus but no more than that.  It was fun doing it and I'm obviously not getting the scoring gig so it's just a bit of fun.  I also composed a more tonal cue but I've haven't finished it yet....
