Sandor 798 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Currently I'm working with my brother (yes, yes Maraquesh) on a new film: GOMP. On our website you can find all the information:www.gompmovie.blogspot.comI wrote a small idea for a theme and sequenced it in my Korg. A bit sloppy, but it's just an idea. Hope you guys like it!

Jeshopk 8 Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I like the sketches, and the theme. The theme has nice chromatics and piano parts, and is very distinctive. You should join up with www.composerarts.com my newly launched site for indie films in which the music was composed before shooting. What you're doing is very in line with the goals of the "Music First" project. Be sure to say hi on the message board! http://www.composerarts.com/boardsI'd like to start a small movement going to prove that modern films can be made without sacrificing musical integrity in the editing process, and in fact the music can be written before they are shot.

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Very beautiful theme. The chromatics giving some suspense but is ittoo haunting for the monsterous face? Good work though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandor 798 Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Well, the theme is actually for the character of GOMP, who is not monsterous. At least not at the start of the film! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeshopk 8 Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Won't we have to be the judge of that? Judging by opinions of War of the Worlds, Attack of the Clones and The Patriot, I wouldn't worry about any harsh opinions here, should they arise.

Richard Penna 3,761 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 Wow, great theme! I especially like the chord changes.One minor point - I heard the rising part of Avner's theme in there somewhere, but it's a very minor thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 798 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well Alex; everything is done on a Korg Triniton Basically; I use my Korg to give an impression on how a theme or piece CAN be, but if I really want it good I always contact the Dordrechts Youth Orchestra to perform my pieces. It's free and they're relatively well trained. But really hard and expensive to record the complete orchestra. I usually rely on a few soloists to give my music a more natural sound.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I made a mistake with forming my sentence, teacher.I ment that you would actually be composing your own music, making the Hans Zimmer comparison invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor 798 Posted March 9, 2006 Author Share Posted March 9, 2006 Well, my primary choice to be a school teacher was to find a job where I could have A LOT of free time to work on my hobbies. I have, including ADV free days and all, more than 16 weeks vacation a year. I hardly ever work later than 16:30 and never on Saturday or Sunday. Had I chosen another profession I could never have found the time to make GOMP. Had I chosen another profession I could never have started The Centrestage (my small, independent songwriting agency).Had I chosen another profession I could have bought a Ferrari....but that's another story!

Maraquesh 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Hey guys, I just put up a new arrangement we did for 'Gomp's Theme' on the site (www.gompmovie.blogspot.com), please check it out. Like I say on the site, this one's a much more polished version than the previous one. We really want to expand on the solo piano idea at the beginning, adding a few instruments and weird noises as it goes. This version, with it's quasi-bombast when the theme is played for the second time, is really not what we want, and it will be changed yet again in the near future. That's why they're just sketches of a finished version. Hope you like it and we really look foreward to hear your feedback. Gomp is coming...

This a serious low-budget film. We try to keep production costs to a minimum and are dependent on the "free-giving" spirit of all involved. BTW, I love the drawings. As an cartoonist I can appreciate some skillful work. Same goes with that other guy... what was his name with the JW strip?My brother made most of the drawings.
