I got a new computer just the other day, and decided to try out Mixcraft on it. With a much more powerful processor and a bit more RAM than my last computer, I wanted to see how many different VST instruments tracks that I could have before the program would max-out.

I decided to stop at 12 (the program was still running fine, with less that 50% CPU overall used), and this is the result. I'd probably mix a bit more if this was going to be used in a brickfilm, but, as it is, I don't think it's half bad!

New music out later this week. It's been great working with Infinity Prime on his upcoming Star-Wars film.

Restarting my YouTube Channel just for music and music related stuff.

Shakespearean Fantasy sounds amazing, Dyland!

@Dyland: Nice piece. I think the instruments sounded clean; while you'll never get the sound of a real orchestra out of digital console, that set will certainly do in a pinch. You're right about the wind section being a little muddy, but overall I think it was fine.

Unfortunately, I was very busy at University this year, and wasn't able to do much scoring. So here's something cheap I slammed together yesterday...

@Arginnon This is quite nice. I love your distortions and flickers, adds to the space vibe. Plus the hard drums and synths give it a nice retro flavor, which seems to be in line with your film.

Been a while, but I finally got this out on Soundcloud. Hope you all enjoy.

(P.S. Scoring in a John Williams style is dang hard...)

This was done on short order (only had 4 days notice before deadline), but, quickly became one of my favorite projects to compose for. When Barrels Fly Original Score.

A re-release of Andrew Bermudez's (Mustache Maniacs') THAC 8 brickfilm for their 10th anniversary online, I opted to go with a banjo, woodwind, & snare heavy score to emphasize the main character's soldier background.

Also sprinkled throughout are a fairly liberal use of traditional classics (such as the National Anthem, Oh Suzannah, and Oh My Darling, Clementine), and even has a nod to John Williams' Jurassic Park theme!

Definitely a fun project to work on! BTW, here's the final film, if you're so inclined: When Barrels Fly.

Edit:]

And here's the score for Shawarma Studios' Spirit of Adventure entry, "Colorblind." A World of Monochrome

Heavy Danny Elfman inspirations on this track. Especially in the 1989 Batman score!
