That sounds like a real fun gig to do.

Great stuff Zenitram (you got my vote) Hit the feel for the pic spot on for me. Well done to all, some good stuff up there.

[quote name='EMG456' timestamp='1383055366' post='2259570'] Yep - they seem to me to be about as far away from "free-form" as you could get - everything's arranged to the Nth degree and they all have the chops to keep up with programme! That said, it's plain to me that they *do* possess huge amounts of funk, soul and musicality and I find it refreshing to see young players following their own path and not trudging down the dreary but fashionable retro route. Good luck to them. [/quote] Agree with all this. Top musicianship, great arrangement, played with ease and in total control.

^^ Yep real time composing in the traditional sense or improvision was very much part of early films. There is still quite a bit going in fringe theatre, just hunt through Youtube, there is some great stuff relating to it. Composing for TV animations (The old Simpsons episodes come to mind) or American sit coms/dramas, have daily episodes going through various seasons and have/had a very quick turn around (hours) So it may seem unenthusiastic, but a real art in spotting to picture, and knowing exactly what feel to play/write and at what precise time/frame cue. Not like the Basschat comp where you have a whole month for a static image to get it together. [size=4] [/size]

Julius, looks like you are a new poster. Down in the Theory section, folks often post charts and transcriptions [url="http://basschat.co.uk/forum/31-theory-and-technique/"]http://basschat.co.u...-and-technique/[/url] Also there is something pinned as well, with plenty of stuff.

[quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1383048362' post='2259449'] I do wonder sometimes whether this is a musicans' forum or a glorified knitting circle. [/quote] Indeed, It could be worse though - A glorified Jazz knitting circle of fifths.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1383036022' post='2259244'] What a lovely poem! [/quote] Nah, just a Blues tune............. In E minor of course.

[quote name='mr zed' timestamp='1383007103' post='2259164'] Still not sure I could get on with Opera though! [/quote] Sitting in the amazing Teatro Alla Scale in Milan, With top, top Musicians and singers might change that. Depends on the Opera for me. But a few days away with your partner in Milan, taking in great food and an Opera is a real treat. One time I managed to send the wife and friends off shopping, and I went off with the boys to the Derby della Madonnina. [size=4] [/size]

[quote name='MB1' timestamp='1382974271' post='2258635'] So they've fired Fire? and let Wind go? [/quote] Indeed, I believe there was a lighter involved.

[quote name='tedmanzie' timestamp='1382898391' post='2257755'] automation isn't going to increase cpu load. [/quote] Yep, in fact use automation to bypass/turn off fx when not in constant use. One of the advantages of DAW's and VST's that now use VST 3, Is that if at any point a plug in or soft synth is not in use, it is automatically disabled, then engaged when needed, so no need for automation.

[quote name='Dingus' timestamp='1382879961' post='2257455'] Perhaps we need to admit that Britain was a much better and much safer place when men went out drinking and their women waited at home for them . [/quote] I remember those days, you could get drunk, forget where you lived and go to any home to be greeted by any woman, It did not have to be you own.

It don't get down any better than this. "Come here woman!" [size=4] [/size]

This is great stuff, Thanks for posting.

I like the tune, and Kit and the band very much, sounds great, although the video content don't do it for me. But then again with promo videos, I love them or hate them, I am never in the middle with them. So carry on... Facebook shared and tweeted.

Very nice Mike, I like it.

Nice little 15 minute video, real time scoring to Animation. Guy Michelmore is the Composer (son of Cliff Michelmore) Web site [url="http://www.deepwaterblue.net/"]http://www.deepwaterblue.net/[/url] I did Guy's Music for Media course about ten years ago, and very handy and informative it was. If you fancy a full on Composing for Picture and Media distant learning course, this one is certainly worth considering. Animation scoring in action.

Voted. Two really grabbed the scene well for me (In different ways), and they both had a very nice professional touch to them. But one just had the edge with that happy feel vibe. Well done all.

I now get why she wants fans to do the playing, it would make financial sense. A pro would only need one opportunity to get it right
