Hey! This is a new song I've been working on to perform downtown on weekends. I decided to record it yesterday so I could actually hear what it sounds like when I play it.Anyway, I thought it'd be neat to share something from my vocal and guitar work instead of the usual percussion stuff. Let me know what you think. :)See More
Allison Danielle replied to Moses's discussion Notably good film scores, anyone?"It's pretty mainstream to say, but Danny Elfman has been the source of a lot of my inspiration for my percussion pieces."
Allison Danielle replied to Moses's discussion Notably good film scores, anyone?"I think James Horner's best score is from "A Beautiful Mind". You should check it out if you haven't heard it already.

I usually leave all of my sound editing until last and was eager to be done with the score itself, so if it sounds a bit sloppy, that's why. I actually…"
Raymond Kemp replied to Allison Danielle's discussion Metamorphosis - Percussion Ensemble - Complete"Allison,

I finally finished my percussion ensemble piece "Metamorphosis" last night, so I just wanted to see what you guys thought of it. Also, I'm not sure if I should expand the end or not. I kind of like how it's a short and sweet outro, but that's just me. Thanks! :)See More
Bob Porter replied to Allison Danielle's discussion My first orchestra piece!"Of course you should finish it. Everything you've written so far will decide how you end it. One way to work is to go back now and fix what you don't like. Another would be to use what you have, and have what you write from here on…"

Hi everyone!Sorry I've been gone for forever, but I've still been working on a ton of new music. I posted this piece a while back right after starting it, so I thought I'd share it now that I have the first two "movements" finished. I hope you like the feel of it. For some reason, it makes me think of glitter. Haha... But anyway, here's one of my newest compositions, "Metamorphosis". :)See More

Wheels of Fire album.

Becca Kephart said… - Thanks! I use Sibelius. I used Finale in my undergrad 10 years ago, but I made the switch to Sibelius when I graduated and got a Mac. I really really love Sibelius, but I want to learn Finale so I can teach either.

- I am hoping to get my DMA in composition at KU or UMKC starting next fall. It was also just time for a change. I like your music! I have yet to write for percussion ensemble. I need to get on that. And I should probably post some tunes to my profile. :)
