I've uploaded 2 cues from the film i'm scoring called 'KERBEROS'
One made it in. The other, 'DARIUS BREAKS' didn't as it just gave the scene another vibe altogether.
Enjoy!

Have just spent ALL DAY with director. Have now gotten all 9 reels of score completed and mixed. have delivered first 3 reels to him ready for Twickenham tomorrow. And i'm just about to keel over dead from exhaustion, so i don't have the energy to shout and scream about his obsessive micro-management of EVERY SINGLE NOTE PLACEMENT! Continue
Ok, so that went better than expected. (See last blog).
Even more work has been put in to it to tighten it up; color grading, background audio and, more importantly for me, the soundtrack has been added. I now know where my cues more or less fit. Did you not have a spotting session Russ? Yes, i did. But the thing is with films is that it's made by very creative people with a lot of artsy things they want to say in it; even in a violent movie such as this. And so cue placement and duration has c… Continue
I was given a month to score this three headed beast. 31 days.
However, after doing the maths, the amount of time i was left with after having to work all week to pay the mortgage, means that i have only had 14.6 days to do it in.
Damn...I'm actually quite pleased with myself now. 8-0 ! Continue
Gulp. The Director (notice the capital 'D') has arrived. Flown over the pond from Georgia and will be here in approx 1 hr. Not enough time. ARRGGHHH! Continue
Gulp.
Am mixing it up at Twickenham Studios, England this weekend. Am i kacking it? You betcha! Seriously though, only big films have the budget and backing to go there for audio post. Let alone an indie film.
Speaking of post, will upload photos of my adventures in one of britain's biggest film recording studios later!
In the meantime, check out www.kerberosbites.com It's awesome!

We re-recorded the jazz ballad "Not really a crime" which I wrote some week back.
The previous recording had some click issues due to computer overloaded with Convolution-reverbs.
I thought about arranging some strings and woodwind lines above the piece, but in the end
I like a naked piano version of this song better. It kindá suits the piece.
Hope you like it!
Cheers,

I need a male vocalist in the style of Social Distortion for some remote session work. I'll send you the music, you record your vocals and send that back. I usually use people and record them here or in a nearby studio, but I thought it's about time to try this!
So, let me know if you are or know of any good male rockers!
