What's new

Not a Competition, but a scoring challenge from Spitfire Audio for Hans Zimmer Month!

One more to add to the creative pile. Always enjoyable doing these.

@Spitfire Team The competition rules say "share your composition with us on the social platform of your choosing..." Does uploading to YouTube count as sharing? Does posting on this forum? Also, the rules say the winner will be notified by email. How are you able to derive our email addresses from a social media share?

Just trying to understand the submission guidelines - thanks!

Here's my take on the challenge. Really excited to post this here since it's my first time scoring to an edited film. I wanted to go for a nordic folk inspired tone so I recorded my jouhikko (Finnish "tagelharpa") and acoustic guitar to add some live feeling to the composition.

As a hobbyist who mostly writes music for fun, it's really nice having these kinds of opportunities to compose with a deadline (!) and to watch all the other contributions. :) Really good chance to learn!

 
I'm happy to say I got a chance to watch all of these. I am impressed with the consistently high quality, and the variety in interpretations... Lots to learn from everyone here, from those who just got started to those who are veterans. Best of luck to everyone on the prize, but I hope that, regardless, you all feel proud of what you were able to do with this video!
 
This piece really reminded me of early attenborough "life on earth" series music for some reason. Very nice.

Thanks so much for sharing this. I've never heard it nor would ever have even thought to seek it out, but it's wonderful. And reminds me a bit of Stravinsky in turn, or early Goldsmith. Love that 70s reverb.

I had the same thought. Other than leaving a comment on my youtube page, not sure how else they could contact me about this, although I thoroughly enjoyed it either way.
