Good Times

I just had a really awesome break from doing a soundtrack for a short film on Fred Ross, a painter from Saint John here at The Postman. I do contractual work for them such as recording voice overs, editing audio for local television shows, the occasional putting something together or rewiring, and the random this and that. I've done a soundtrack for them and some location sound work. This current film I'm working on is directed by Mike Cowey and this will be the 4th soundtrack I compose for him about artists. Now that we've done 4, I feel a lot more comfortable with the director's style and our communication's pretty down for what the process will be for them. I've been working pretty late lately trying to catch up with other projects, but December seems to rock so getting things done is motivating. Bah, so, I take break for some air and come back to mess around with the funest beatcore, making the film look much crazier than it should. Like, modifying delays, time shifting snipets of beats - a combination of slow and fast and normal, placed at attacks of the mellow piano and texture and sometimes off sync as well.

It feels good to write something. I wanted to use this blogspot as documentation to look back upon to make sure I'm on-track. Then facebook came. I might just casually use this blogspot letting myself get away with my gramatical errors and open thoughts.

So, I saved the music to this film as something else... I really like it, but this documentary looks weird with it... Good music, but not a good weird... ;) The music to this doc is basic modern classical. I'll add the occasional texture like drop for overtone of note hold of the overall melody, but no, this music would not be approved for exposure. It doesn't fit. It makes it seem like the themed character in the Doc, who by the way is in his 80s, is talking to you about space or mysticalness... but he's talking about the art process. Which is good. The music simply just doesn't fit. I digress, because I was still satisfied with the version, but in a "that was a nice break" kinda way. It's like desert after supper. I think that makes sense.

I might come on here and talk about Botsford next time. I've got a lot of things to say about Botsford that I think will send people to a different world. With lazers and robots.
