Reminiscence ft. Tina Guo & Jenny Bae (Dallas Buyers Club Trailer Music)

Here's the finalized version of the score "The Assassination of Henry William McCarty". This piece I decided to focus on the 1928 Steinway Legacy piano sound. I had been listening to a lot of Thomas Newman's work so everything from "The Road to Perdition" to "Cinderella Man" to even soundtracks like "A Beautiful Mind" by James Horner and "The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford" by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis. Actually it was "The Assassination of Jesse James" that inspired me to write the music with that subtle tone and it was Thomas Newman's styling that helped develop this score. 

Anyway, as the title also entails, this is my submission for the 8Dio contest where you highlight one instrument of theirs in your score. So as I mentioned I picked the 1928 Steinway Legacy scoring piano for my main instrument. I wish I had the Adagio Strings because I know that would have enhanced my score WAY more but alas I'll have to work with my EWQL strings until then. 

Anyway, enjoy the piece and I'll have my other "A Farewell to the Infamous William Henry McCarty" piece finished soon. Share, Comment, Like.

First test of LA Scoring Strings, very rough - haven't even jumped into the nitty gritty yet. But love it so far.  I've been using EW HS/SO for years, and definitely am loving the sounds on LASS better so far - love the imperfections.
