    Music For Animation // Elvis and Benny

    Episode 7 is about those poor pieces of music that were deemed unworthy for Elvis And Benny and are now sitting on my hard drive with an inferiority complex! I also give a unique glimpse at some of the work-in-progress animation that I usually scored to!

    Spitfire Chamber Strings: how dry can you get it to sound?

    There's a reason some developers choose to record "wet", and that is that no reverb technology can accurately reproduce the effects of an actual room. For small, thin sounds this is almost a non-issue, but when you're dealing with lower frequencies, coming from beefy instruments, the room...

    Thanks for the feedback! I can definitely hear the 'Ants Go Marching' similarities, maybe that's what the director heard as well.

    Has anyone ever sampled a musical (singing) saw? I'm looking to create some typical cartoony, spooky "ghost" sounds.

    Why Don't All Films Have Memorable Themes? Junkie XL answers

    Completely missing the point. Music is a tool. If you know how to use it, you create your movie with music as an integral device of the storytelling. However, this doesn't mean, at all, that it's impossible to make a great movie without any music. You just wouldn't approach it in the same way...

    Why Don't All Films Have Memorable Themes? Junkie XL answers
