Hi Everyone,
I wanted to share a story of which I'm very proud of.
Since I was little I always dreamed of being a film composer after hearing the fantastic soundtrack of Once Upon A Time In The West. I took keyboard an piano lessons and after a while I really got addicted to the whole computer-midi thing. Samples especially.
I never had the opportunity to get myself a proper education on music and eventually graduated as a video-editor and animator. I always wanted to make music instead so I became a intern for a year for free to maybe get some work in composing. I tried to recreate a bunch of tracks I liked to learn from them and applied those techniques to various assignments that I received. Previous year I've had the amazing opportunity to score my first feature film from Belgium: Baba Yega The Movie. A Kids movie with a nod to the 80s films. Mark (colleague) and I had to deliver about 60 minutes of music in 4-5 weeks. It really was a dream coming true for me and some kind of proof that everyone can do whatever they want. I'm super grateful for all the support I've got over the years also from members on this forum.
In the link below you can hear most of my tracks created for the film. Hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating them.

EDIT:
I finally have permission to share some parts of the original movie.
Like many others do, I've decided to make a pianoroll screencast too in 3 parts.
Feel free to ask anything about the score, or not
