Reversal: Part One

For the the last month, I have been composing a score for a a friend’s movie project at USC: “Reversal: Part One.” I used Sibelius and Reason to create the ambient tracks; my first experiment with industrial and sci-fi music and relying on cue-sheets for precise musical prompts. Watch the 7-minute short here:

More information, by the director:
“Reversal: Part One” is an update of the film “Reversal” that I made in 2005.

Rather than being solely a standalone film, “Reversal: Part One” is the first in a five-part film cycle that tells the story of a dystopian future in which the authorities have some new, alarming duties. The film cycle will explain how the system came to be and its repercussions on society. It will also explore a major disturbance in the system. Each film will be able to stand alone as its own piece apart from the other four films, but will also seamlessly connect to them. Each film is meant to represent a scene from the larger whole, as well as an independent, standalone short.

“Reversal: Part Two” is currently in pre-production. Principal photography will begin this June, and I anticipate a mid-August release.

Coraline Sheet Music – Other Father Song

I saw Coraline yesterday, in all its glory. If you haven’t seen it, go to your nearest movie theater (3D preferably) and go watch it. There’s this song that everyone seems to want to play… the Other Father Song. Sheet music (vocal + keyboard) is now available by yours truly. The song was composed and performed by They Might Be Giants.

Sheet music

Lyrics

Makin’ up a song about Coraline
She’s a peach she’s a doll she’s a pal of mine
She’s as cute as a button in the eyes
of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline
When she comes around exploring
Mom and I will never ever make it boring
Our eyes will be on Coraline

Cirque Du Soleil: Jeux d’Eau (Mystère)

Music from the New Age / World genre has always been my favorite. A friend introduced me to Cirque du Soleil a looong time ago, and after finally saving up some money, I saw Mystère in Las Vegas. Naturally, I fell in love with the music, and proceeded to listen to the music from all the shows. Here is mu arrangement for a small ensemble (celesta, viola, cello, piano): Jeux d’Eau, from Cirque du Soleil’s <<O>>, composed by Benoit Jutras. Free sheet music here:

Also, if Cirque music is your thing, I personally recommend buying A Music Collection from Cirque du Soleil, a, well, sheet music compilation of some of the best songs:

Ozzie’s Quest – Illusion [composition]

Sebastian-Wolff_-_Ozzies-Quest_-_Illusion_(remaster).mp3

One of my own compositions.

Just about a year ago, I composed 7 tracks in 7 days for a friend’s video game. As I’m currently putting together a sort of demo tape of songs I’ve composed, I redid this one – using Reason 4.0. Sorry for the lack of updates; I’ve been rather busy with other things.

Another project I’m working on currently is a complete World of Goo sheet music collection.

More World of Goo Sheet Music

I was a bit late with discovering the wonder that is World of Goo. My roommate introduced me, and I instantly fell in love with the game and music. If you haven’t already, buy the game, play it, and thank me later for showing you this gem from 2008. Oh, and download the FREE soundtrack for World of Goo from Kyle Gabler’s website. They will be some of the best 49 minutes you will have had recently.
