A little something I wrote

I was working on the score for a short film a friend of mine made, when I listened back what I did for his previous one, and I found this theme (called "Blue") again, which I still like. I'm not experienced on the saxophone, so cut me some slack there :P

Not bad.

A bit uninspired initially, but it gets better when the saxophone comes in.

Sounds empty, though.
But then again, I don't know what kinda film this is supposed to be for.

Neo-Noir short film. It plays when the main character is walking through an empty hallway in a shopping center sometime during the night.

Ah, then it's better.

Sounds like Treasure Moment!! They are definately improving!

;-)

Bad joke, I know. Nice piece of music, I can imagine the scene you describe with this music being played.

Thanks ^^

I like it as a mood piece, not an exhibition of virtuosity or complex composition or anything like that, which it just isn't.

Hopefully this character gets attacked by a Klingon warrior and you can then throw in some Star Trek fight music like this:

All movies can be improved using this music, even Ghandi or Driving Miss Daisy.

And quite often, it just doesn't need to be complex, which I think is shown nicely in this piece.

Not bad, though it does invoke memories of this song

Apart from the use of the harmonic minor's major seventh, I don't really hear the similarity, I'll have to admit. Interesting nonetheless. I hadn't heard this song before, but I quite like it. A slight tinge of Irish traditional with a harmonic minor melody.

If given the choice between a firing squad and working for Geert Wilders at a salary of $100 000,- an hour, I'll take the firing squad.

he had a nice little trip to London and back today, didnt get to see or say much though due to the fact his arse was swiftly put back on the plane and sent packing.he got a shit load of publicity though as no one in the UK had heard of him or his sodding film until then and then Sky News didnt shut up about him afterwards,giving him exactly what he was after..publicity.

However obnoxious you find this person's views I think it's wrong to censor him. So much for democratic, liberal principals.

ps I haven't seen his film but wouldn't it be better wth Star trek fight music?

I was meaning the sax solo right at the end on Will You, which for once isnt overplayed just like the sax isnt in your song. This is a problem I have with some guitar players. Guys like Malmsteen, etc are technically gifted, but try singing their solo's back and you invariably end up sounding like a demented idiot having a fit. Your sax solo is singable and thats what I like about it.
