Hello, hope you all had a great Valentine’s Day.
The film I scored a while ago called ‘Comforting Skin” had a run at Slamdance recently and is now heading out to a variety of other festivals, getting some well-deserved attention.
Here is a short video from the scoring sessions for “Comforting Skin”, conducting a chamber ensemble of very talented players.
You can read more about the film on my website where I have a page dedicated to the film.
The score makes use of many contemporary harmonic and orchestration devices. I am thinking that it could be insightful to share some of these in both score and audio form on “Getting the Score”, if that is something you might be interested in. Let me know in the comment box!
Cheers,
Alain
Hell yeah! I also like the way we could hear the “rough” sound and then the final mix, brilliant idea!
Thanks Eloi! I did think showing the final mixed score in comparison with the sound taken from the camera worked well. Thanks for commenting on that.
Add another “hell yeah!” I think the comparison between rough and final was great. It was also interesting seeing how you set up the context of the scene for the musicians.
Thanks! Neil, who shot the footage wanted to make sure I put that in. Musicians do enjoy knowing the context of the scene! Good for interest and performance.
I find this very encouraging as I often worry about my tempos when writing. Nice to see a fairly moderate pace in what is some VERY tense music is the norm!
