Seoul Continues to Shine

I’m into day three of production. Well I should say night three.

I tried. I really did. I tried to compose during the day and failed miserably :)

Well, that’s not true. I did finish a number of cues for Finding Seoul on friday afternoon. The main theme though has been rocking in my head pretty much the whole week I’ve been working on this, and its hard to get it out. I’m working a lot on the beginning of the film since the music is pretty close. The historical footage is my favorite. I chose alto flute for the main character for when he was a boy, since it really hit the child-essence thing to a T.

As far as later on in the film, there is going to be a lot more of the recapitulation of the the main title theme, which is a song. Vocals and everything.

So here’s to another overnight of composing!

Looking Over The Tracks

Hi there fellow friends and composers

I’ve checked (and re-checked) what I have so far for TM2 and realized that a little more than half the album is done. There are three tracks that I am confident will make it onto the next album, while two others which don’t match the sound. One of them was so upbeat and happy I almost didn’t recognize it was me.

Along the same vein as the working-title tracks “Open” and “Clear” are another two percolating, which have yet to be named. Still figuring out instrumentation on one and the other…well I know it will have piano, that counts right? :)

Since returning to school, I’ve found less and less energy to do this album. But I am still working on it, and I will keep you posted on how it is going.

As always thanks for reading,
