Fables

A piece that I composed for a scoring competition. The brief asked for an interpretation of the image. 90 seconds of music. I wanted to give the music a slightly otherworldly aura along with the concept of pilgrimage and the journey's end. It features the Bazantar instrument #8dioproductions #soundpaintmusic

My entry for the AVA trailer music competition. My entry for the AVA Trailer music competition. For this competition you are restricted to using the supplied samples and sounds [in their raw form]. Entrants have to process, twist, manipulate, and create an original piece [cyberpunk style] from only these sounds but are allowed to compose and build their own percussion parts. It was a fun exercise where I had to wear the hats of composer, arranger, sound designer and mix/mastering engineer.
