Old Man
I recently wrote a soundtrack for a short film titled Old Man.
When I asked the film's producer Benn Carr about the film, he had this to say:
When some of us get old we sometimes appear lost. Looking, searching, but unable to communicate what we have lost. It takes a special person to take the time, and delve into a strangers life when they cry out for help, despite how far away they may seem. This is a film about loss, understanding and compassion. When a woman takes it upon herself to look inside a man that is fragile, lonely and in need of a kind heart.
I had warned Benn that I had very little time to write this music. Actually, only a few hours one Sunday. I had the film running on my laptop and just let the music emerge. It's amazing what you can do in such a short time. Sample some sounds around the house, add effects, add some strings... Still if I had more time it would sound much better.
You can listen to an excerpt of the soundtrack, by clicking on the play symbol below. Hope you enjoy.

WJ - I personally prefer this one than to Sundew. For some reason Sundew just doesn't "gell". Dunno why really.

film music, suits you ti think, why not do this "on the fly" more often?
Yup, I am aware people prefer electronic music over the classical stuff. It has always been so and is a frustration for those interested in classical I dare say. I love doing electronica (pssst, and it is easier), but due to study commitments, I can't get to it as often as I would like just at the mo. Soon I will post some electronica.
sigh... yes, like it a lot.
