What inspires your choice of music for a scene?
For more complex scenes, I try and find the subtext and punch that up. Always fun, when a scene isn't coming across dry, but with the music added, the meaning is understood. More generally, I'm looking at mood and timing, as you said. Once, I come up with the movie's title theme, plus the protagonist's and antagonist's themes, I can weave those with more general romantic, chase (action), suspense, heroic, and sorrowful pieces.

He's the reason I bought synths. I wasn't going to be a composer, but his themes seemed simple and relatable enough for me to think that I might be able to do that. I was already a soundtrack connoisseur, and had a good ear for picking out parts that I could use in my early film work. I can't play worth a damn, but somehow it made sense for me to try simple composition, and grow from there.

That was great, Mike. I especially liked the graphic popups. Good advertising for KApro. _________________ Cheers,

If it seems to you that I'm busy...., I am! I'm working on 2 indie features, at the same time. Here's the trailer for DRONE DOWN. Spearheaded the music score with the Kronos, of course.
I posted the music awhile ago, was really going to shelf this piece until seeing what is going on in Afghanistan, I decided to release it along with video dedicated to those that serve.

Here's a cellphone video of my band performing Faithfully by Journey this past Sunday.
That's how pro's do it! Great performance. Great audience. Perfect piano performance. Spot-on Steve Perry vocals. And the hair - long hair is a must to complement the vocals Seems like your band would be well suited for Kansas covers too. Some great 70s/80s rock when singers actually sang and musicians actually played. Glad to see people back out and about and enjoying themselves. _________________ bpoodoo

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, we've been fairly active throughout the pandemic, luckily and enjoy watching the music take people back to their youth. We have another band with the same players that is called, ICONIC. We touch on hits from the 60's through today and focus on some of the big 70's and 80's rock hits that allow our lead singer the chance to shine. Thanks again! _________________ Voyager, A Tribute to the Music of Journey https://www.voyageraz.com
