The Road - Soundtrack - First

Over the last few days, I have again decided to compose a soundtrack for this film trailer, 'The Road'. I actually enjoyed this movie a lot, as it was original, and takes a different approach to apocopalytic events (however its spelt :L), as well as telling the story through a father and son relationship.

I haven't listened to the original, even at this point of finishing the music, as I don't want it to reflect in my music, as I want to see whether I have developed in my composing skills etc..

This probably sounds a bit too detailed :L I don't mean it too - Please let me know what you think..

COD Black Ops - Complete

After finally getting around to it, I have finally finished this project:

This promo for the new COD game now includes foley to accompany the soundtrack. This was more time consuming than the composition of the soundtrack, as this video contains lots of dramatic actions, within rapid camera shots. I feel that the mix might have too much emphasis on the foley, as at times it may drown out the music. However, I feel that in order to acheive a successful mix, I need to have good speakers, so I am able to listen to which frequencies need to be boosted/limited etc..

Please comment - might be best at my facebook page, so I know what you think :) thanks.

COD Black OPs - Music Video

COD Black Ops - Music

Here is the music for the new COD trailer... i have done this as an exercise, and am not trying to replace the original lol, i actually prefer the original eminem version. OK, so for this, ive mainly used the samples within logic, with the addition of drums from reason and different types of bass and orchestral samples. I very much enjoyed writing this music, i wish i had learnt to use reason in rewire a lot earlier.. Ahh well, still much left to learn in university i suppose :)

Im planning on doing my own sound effects for this. I think that this is going to be very tricky, even if im to manipulate the sounds. (mainly the explosions and gunfire)

COD Black Op - Reason 4

On tuesday, i started a new project, again a another soundtrack. I however wanted to learn how to use reason to its maximum, using its drum machine and other plugins in slave with logic. I decided that I would do the soundtrack for the new COD Black Op Game. I decided this, because the trailer is filled with lots of dramatic shots and actions. I really wanted to use reason's drum machine (redrum), as I love its interface and and functions. Soo, its thursday now, and ive pretty much finihsed the music, im not sure whether to bounce out the movie with just the music, or wait till ive done the foley as well ..... by the way, i'm going to try and do all of my own sound effects, which will be pretty hard i think:s

Idents Project

This is my finished idents project, which includes 4 idents which I have done sound design/effects and music for.
