score

Hello everyone! I'm brand new to this forum and thought I would post a work of mine to introduce myself: Adagio for Orchestra. I wrote this during a period where I was experiencing some pretty bad writer's block, so I toned things back quite a bit and instead focused on simple themes and...

I just wanted to share my recent mockup of Metamorphosen using Dorico and NotePerformer. Metamorphosen is my favorite piece, so I tried to make it sound good. Here's a video of the score, but the audio is a bit delayed because I added it in later:

Hello musicians, I'd like to present my latest orchestral filmscore like track. It has a bit of a classical flavour though. I aimed for a calm and sad piece, full of sorrow but with a glimpse of hope. "Unfortunately" I deviated (again) in the big, full and epic territory. This time I worked...

Hi everyone, Just had a notification regarding a contest to win a full bundle of Ujam Products. Requirement is to use the Ujam VP Score instrument to compose music for one of the two supplied trailers, more information and details are linked below...

Hey all, I recently upgraded all my Special Edition's to Synchron-ized versions, so I did a test run using only them (inspired by the video done by Adam Harvey and Nucleus). Seeing as it was an experiment, I thought it would also be interesting to not use any external EQ or Verb etc, so it's...

Hi everyone, Posting here a project which will be premiering in spanish theaters next week, which is a special one: lots of electronics (modular/sound design), combined with piano / strings trio, a few electric guitars and more interesting timbres. And... I tried avoiding using a lot of "roots...

I am using dorico+NotePerformer on my computer , works great. But I bought Notion mobile for my mobile device,I tested it today to make small things. The sound quality is good enough for me and it runs fast,the handwriting function works well.

Hi fellow Virtual Instrumentalists, I would like to present my latest cinematic track (the 4th in my journey as a hobby film composer). I still consider myself as a beginner although it's the 3rd year I dedicate quite a lot of spare time to this awesome hobby. The track is mainly orchestral...

Hey Guys, I made a mockup/remake of the Inception Ending (Time) as it's one of my favorite pieces of movie scores. It took me some weeks to do it. I worked like some hours on the daily basis, many breaks in between. It's not perfect, but it would take me another week or so to improve it, but I...

Hey guys! I recently picked up Pacific Ensemble Strings and have been loving it! I made a mockup in collaboration with a close friend of mine, who prepared a score for this project. Would love to see what you guys think of it! I would really appreciate any thoughts or opinions on it. :) Also...

Found this old score of mine recently, composed back when I was 17. I can't believe there are no major white-out corrections on these 29 pages. Amazing. Apparently, I had a lot of free time as a teenager and knew how to use a ruler well. I'm so thankful for computers and notation programs these...

Dear fellow musicians, currently I'm trying to explore different sub-genres of filmmusic like romance, action, fantasy etc. My latest project is in a style I always wanted to make: a heroic fanfare / entry music. At the end it wasn't that traditionally orchestral I expected it to be beforehand...

Can anyone point me in the right direction?! Thanks! :)

Except percussion, this track was entirely made with Cinematic Studio Strings / Brass / Winds. Feel free to leave your comments & have a good one!

Hi!, i've been surfing this fantastic forum for a long, It's time to show what I've been doing, I'm living in Madrid, I use to record my music with different orchestras, I hope you enjoy my Film music Reel! Demo Reel

How do you orchestrate an arpeggio with sustained notes so that the cut sound is not heard, what common notes to leave between the sections, I have heard a technique called duck tail so that the sound is heard linked? I want the arpeggio to start from the bottom and go up to achieve a pyramid...

Hi composers, I share my second composition in the genre of orchstral filmmusic. I'm a hobbyist and kind of perfectionist tweaking every little note until I got deaf hearing my own work over and over again. Structure is probably the weak part of the piece. I planned it far shorter than it is...

Hi there, One of my latest projects is available in Prime Video: "A private affair". 8 episodes of mistery, comedy and adventure, with some emotional touches as well. "1940s, Galicia (Spain). Marina Quiroga, a bold upper class girl with the soul of a detective, decides with the help of...

Hi there, I'd like to humbly share the score I wrote to "Llegaron de noche" ("What Lucia saw"), which is on platforms: Link https://li.sten.to/llegarondenoche What's special about it? - Mixed on atmos/binaural (if you listen from Apple Music). - Performed by a super talented guitar...

Hi everyone! I'm looking for the complete sheet score of the Disney movie - "Dinosaur" (2000), composed by James Newton Howard. I've been looking for this for a long time, to learn from this Score. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

You know the da -da da- da da da da- da da da da daaaaaa... The 0:29 second part :emoji_nerd:

Hi, a couple of friends from Vienna have produced a small Star Wars-inspired fan film. What the flick lacks in dialogues and dramaturgy is hopefully compensated by the excessive overuse of homicidal martial arts elements :P (All are passionate fencers.) Well, since John Williams unfortunately...

I'm happy to share with you guys what I've been working on last month: a nature documentary! And it's about the wolves. I took a bit of inspiration from the Apalachee and Argentina traditional music (subtle). That's also the first time I'm playing "that many" instruments myself: Banjo, Electric...

Hey everyone ! Here is a piece I worked on early this past summer – the title of the thread is pretty self-explainatory ! The orchestra is almost exclusively Cinematic Studio, except for the percussions, harp and keys. I'm planning on releasing a score video soon, as some writing and...

Figured since we're getting close to spooky season, I'd post a score I did for an AFI Workshop short film a few years ago. Had lots of fun doing some eerie effects with a live Cello and Bansuri Flute.

While I am very Familiar with Cubase and it's way of working, I am gradually working more and more within Dorico. I already have the Excellent NotePerformer Sounds and Articulation Template, and they are really good, but I want to take it even further and use my Main Sample Libraries, for a...

Hi everyone! This is my first post here (I come in peace). I stumbled on this wonderful forum while reading a way-back recommendation made by @charlieclouser on a Gearspace thread and was *delighted* to discover a production forum on Al Gore’s fabled internet which doesn’t seem to be filled with...

Hi! Someone contacted me for a song I produced and was interested to work with me for a video promo. This is my first time working with someone for a project and I don't know if it's better to be payed for the commission or complete the "song" ('cause it will be a score attached to a video...

Had lots of fun composing the music for this resocre competition. Using the four notes of the girl knocking as a leitmotif. Hosted by The Cue Tube and Northern Film Orchestra. Score Relief is also raising funds in support of the Backup Hardship Fund, which provides relief to technical workers...

This post was inspired by another thread ("I'm done with hybrid"). Let's assume - for this thread - that by hybrid we mean the mix of orchestral with electronics/samples etc. In my very extensive music collection (and I regularly look out for new things) I have a hard time finding many good...

How do you get that orchestral film score sound? What are the key mixing elements to achieving that sound? It always seems "set back" and has a unique sound quality. Where do you aim to have peak dBFS and LUFS for the loudest part of a piece (in mixing and/or mastering) Do you apply any EQ...

Hey everyone ! I thought about bumping the entry discussions topic, but starting a new thread in this section seems cleaner. I wanted to give a try to making a score video, something I rather enjoy and might keep doing on a regular basis with past and future work ! I decided to start off with...

An "original soundtrack" I made for a current private project of a friend of mine and myself, composed only using Spitfire Audio's BBCSO Pro with a touch of Valhalla Room reverb.

Hi. I am not so familiar with classical score view, but I would think setting for example a "c natural minor" must be possible and reflect in #/b The only thing I found is a "transposition" dropdown and it shows "b"s. But it seems not be the right way Can anyone tell me, how to set a "c...

Hi everyone here is my latest rescore composition. The video comes from The Cue Tube. The Cue Tube is a resource for composers, who can find free videos to rescore and build a portfolio and professional network, and a place for filmmakers to find great composers for their projects. I really...

Hi everyone, My musical education, like most people I imagine, has taught me to put accidentals symbols beside trills to indicate whether the player has to play a whole step or a half-step. But I've always sort of struggled with this as key signatures, transpositions and transposing instruments...

I finally got my hands on "The Film Music of Mark Isaacs", a 2-disk compilation released by the Australian soundtrack label 1M1-Records. It is a compilation of four rather unknown cartoon scores from the 80s. A short introduction to the composer, who is unfortunately rather unknown for most...

I'm sure this has been brought up before, I did a search and I didn't see anything on it. I would love to find a place that allows you to download legally short scenes from movies without any orchestration or music on them to practice scoring. I know people will say you can film anything and put...

Hello everyone, I realized recently that I never posted this two-years old work, so here it is. During spring 2018 I scored “Le Saut” (“The Jump”), an animated short film made entirely in watercolors by a student from art school Émile Cohl in Lyon, France, as her graduation project. You can...

Hello everyone, First and foremost I hope that you're safe and healthy at home, wherever you are, as well as your relatives and your friends :) I just wanted to share this brief set of cues I wrote recently for a fun little short film, Le Cadavre (“The Corpse”), that you can watch here ! It...

In Logic Key Signature is a global setting. If I change in on one track in the score editor it changes it for all tracks. In Sibelius I can have transposing instruments with different key signatures. Logic can’t do this. Much modern music is multi-tonal. Here is a simple example. I am reading...

I am one of those who are amazed by the music of Tom and Jerry, and similar cartoons that don't have much dialogue and are only supported by very good background music. I tried to do this to one of the Avengers scenes. I cut and just took a scene without dialogue and then tried to make funny...

Hi everyone! My name is Serge and I'm a self-thaught composer from Ukraine. I would like to share my work with you. I am only at the beginning of creating content for social networks, you can listen to some of my music by following the links: Here's my attempt to record the flute (with midi...

Hello everyone ! I composed in July the original score of an animated short film produced by three students of ECV Bordeaux, in France. It's quite light-hearted and deals with a little spider fond of watchmaking. The film will be released at the end of summer, but you can already listen to the...

Hi everyone ! I'd like to share with you one of my latest work, the soundtrack of “Shutdown”, an animated short film from four students of l'École des Nouvelles Images in Avignon, France. The movie has a peculiar atmosphere going on, which made the work on textures quite interesting :) As...

Really enjoyed the sometimes understated score but so rich in textures. And Arturo's unmistakable trumpet signature playing comes through. Gorgeous brass sections. :)

I'm curious what's everybody's favorite long-form cue(s)..? 5minutes+ :2thumbs: --

Hello ViC friends! First time starting a thread, but I wanted to go ahead and shamelessly plug a documentary I worked on that will premier this Saturday (5/4).

Hi, any marimba player around? I wrote a piece for a call for scores and this is the marimba part. I think it's playable but if someone who plays the instrument could confirm that (or have a word of advice) I'd be grateful. Thanks

Hey everyone, I had some spare time in-between projects so I looked for some trailers or short videos that I could re-score. I came across this 4 minute cinematic for the game World of Warcraft and noticed that it didn't have dialogue (just voice-over) so without hearing the music, sfx, or...

Hey! The past days I sat on a track for a Native Instruments contest. We were free to do any genre and the only rules were that the song should be minimum 2 minutes long and incorporate samples from the provided free sample pack. So I did grab my own synth patches that I've created all from...

Hi there! Lately, I've worked on a brand new orchestral template on my DAW (Live 10) and I've changed my approach and the way I compose music. The following track is the first one with both new template and new method of work. I had so much fun making this (for the #nowscorethis community...

Are we starting to dawn a new era with film scores? We've been under the domination of Hans Zimmer film scores for at least the past 7-10 years. Could we say we are starting to see this slip and Giacchino will be taking that spot? What do you think this will do for film music, since Giacchino...

I can hear a melody and almost immediately play it on piano, might take me a few wrong keys to get the first note but once I've got it I can get the rest - relative pitch. What I can't do is hear a melody and write it down, I can get bits of it but not reliably. Does anyone have any practical...
