Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 North's score makes a nice concert piece, and a good excuse to hear Jerry conduct someone else's music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanner251 17 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 He said you could not compose with a program, he did not say you could not use a program to make a mockup Mockups are for pansies and paranoids... The main titles were irrelevant. We could have just put a 8 minute title card there, and it would have made no difference, it'd just look more boring.People largely wrote their music independent of the sequence, but to the length of the video. They weren't really "scoring" the main titles, if you get what I mean.The unfortunate part of this challenge was that even though it didn't matter, we ended up being judged on whether what we were writing was matching the images on the screen. I remember getting that exact feedback, which I thought was odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 KK, have you gotten many submissions yet? I feel like I've missed the boat on this.Oh you can still use the Fog horn of DOOM for 4 minutes straight to score this clip and most people will think it to be revolutionary. Just follow the different coloured bars on your compositorial mock-up thingy programme and lay down phat beats in there somewhere with the fog horn OF DOOM.

Incanus 5,714 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 What about a 6 part fugue for 6 foghorns of doom?Too sophisticated. People today need to be pludgeoned with clear concise musical sledge hammer-ish walls of sound. It is the beat of the pulse of our zeitgeist.

KK 3,307 Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 I've gotten 1 submission so far TGP. I'm thinking of extending the deadline by a week, depending on schedules.In the meantime, let me introduce you to our judges' panel!Dylan O’NealJohannes RuckstuhlLeon WilliettMikko OjalaAnd for our Hear From the Pros feature, we will be joined by renowned composer Benjamin Wallfisch!For those unfamiliar with Wallfisch. His most recent score was for Summer in February. He spent many years as Dario Marianelli's orchestrator, and has written a bunch for film and the concert hall. It's pretty great that he agreed to join the judges' panel this time.And of course, there's our resident Mikko, along with others from the composers' scene, and the film critics circle.

Incanus 5,714 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I'll promise not to judge... too harshly that is. This is an interesting challenge in the way the judges can't give too specific criteria of what to write or not and thus it makes for a freer than many of the previous ones where at least general guidelines and "rules" were established for the entries in terms of content, style and dramatic needs. So our challenge is to be able to give the participants some constructive criticism and our impressions of what we felt was good or less so in this assignment when we don't have exact parameters to define the boundaries of what this music should or shouldn't be. It actually boggles the mind when you think of how differently such creation scene can be approached musically and how it can work in so many different ways with different music.
