Talking with Gary Streiner about Living Dead Festival Music and other news...

-
In case your coming to The Living Dead Festival screening of the "Night of the Living Dead" you might want not to read any further. SPOILER ALERT!! 
I was on the phone with Gary Streiner on Tuesday night to talk about the score for the video retrospective that is being produced for the festival. it will focus on some great memorabilia from the film. Posters and other promo material. After a few demos that failed to hit the mark; we agreed the soundtrack needed to convey the same eerie feelings that the opening music in the film conveyed. Which mean I get to recreate that classic B movie horror film sound. Theremin, cheesy organ, and scratchy strings. There will also be some sound design aspects of the soundtrack which I will take care of too. Eerie wind and some sound clips from the film. I'm building a Windows machine that will have my really cool windows only but very cool MiniMoog and ARP 2600 virtual synths. The MiniMoog is a must for this project in order to create that great Theremin sound. I should get the video footage to score to tonight; so it will be a late night. I'll most likely need to deliver the final tracks to the post facility by Monday. The coffee pot will be working overtime. We are thinking of using a track I already wrote for the festival, and just extending the good parts, adding in the sound design and adding new instruments like organ and theremin. 

in other news...I recieved an email from kim Rullo that they are having an Isaac|Rullo film double feature in Pittsburgh the first week in December. Kim's husband David is the other half of Architects of the Atmosphere. We wrote music for the first film "The Pittsburgh Nude Project" and our music is used in their latest film  "Zircus des Zelbst". December 3rd in Lawrencville at the Your Inner Vagabond Cafe and World Lounge.

Weekend in the Studio

-
I had some good sessions in the studio this weekend. I didn't have much of a plan. I fired up drum machine and just jammed. One piece took shape on Saturday evening that started out as a retro-computer game sounding piece. But after writing the main melody riff on keyboard using a distorted analogue synth sound; I decided to find out what it sounded like played with an electric guitar. The piece suddenly took a turn into the realm of an anime soundtrack or something from a Power Rangers show. The riff was catchy and I ended up wanting to play it through several different amps and in different harmonies which ended up creating a huge wall of guitars. I may still go back and lay in some of the original analogue synth playing the melody. I brought in my 6 year old son to see what he thought of the song since it was the type of music and TV shows he watches. He loved it! Guess I'll need to download it to his music player. I don't like to pound away to much on one composition

Silverlight media creation

-
I spent much of today creating media to be played in a Silverlight player for the latest interactive kiosk in the Harrison Institute main gallery. This is v.2 of the kiosk. The aim of this version was to create a full screen player with a playlist that a user could navigate easily by touch. While Windows Media Player has big buttons for touch screens; the playlist is a little too tight for navigation by finger. Silverlight has some great tools built in that allow for large easy to navigate playlists. I also decided that I wanted some movment on the screen, but something that wouldn't seem out of place or distract the listener. I decided to create little movies based on slideshows using the cover art of the CD that the music was pulled from. Using the latest Windows Movie Maker software I created a neat little slidshow with fades and title FX. The slideshow was then imported into Expression Encoder 4 as many times as there were tracks. Then using the overlay feature each song video

Scoring short film "Dayplanner of the Dead"

-
Whew! Closing 2012 and opening 2013 was filled with lot's going on. In December I was contacted by Gary Streiner asking me if I was available to score a short film, "Dayplanner of the Dead", which just lost the original composer. Even though I was about to move into an new studio, I agreed to contact the director. The director sent me a rough cut of the film and some temp tracks. At first I wasn't sure I was the right composer for the job after listening to some temp tracks sent by the director; but I liked the film and I wanted to do a horror/comedy so I sent some samples of my usual stuff. After hearing my work he assured me that if I just went ahead and composed it my way it would sound great! So I accepted the gig and got to work. I wanted to stay with the flavor of the temp tracks. These tracks would remind one of a quirky haunted Appalachian  or haunting circus music. So I locked on to some key instruments like a dulcimer, snare drum, brass, piano and violin;
