Music Composers Unite!
Southampton University Time Lapse
My latest film score - albeit 2 minutes long! This is a time lapse film I made in 1986 on Super 8mm while a member of the University film-making club, Wessex Films. It did have a soundtrack from an album by Sky ("A Girl In Winter").
I was recently contacted by the Students' Union and they would like to use it on a DVD to show to next year's new students, so I've helped them to avoid copyright issues by scoring it myself :)

I can sort of see what you mean about Elgar, but this falls way short of that standard, of course :| As I've said, it was a rushed job. Hopefully I will one day post something better that I've scored, but with video there's always the copyright problem, unless you've filmed it yourself. Hmmmm... maybe I should make a film - now there's a thought...

Brilliant!
Reminds me a little of the opening of Pomp and Circumstance (the full version, not the graduation one).

- Hi Ray, and thanks for stopping by. You're absolutely right - this was done in Sibelius with Garritan Personal Orchestra last year, and it was done in a bit of a hurry, if I'm honest. I work in different ways now, and I have a breath controller, the BC3a, which I find very useful for getting a more human feel and expression.

Comment by Ray Kemp on April 15, 2008 at 8:58am - I wish I could play keyboard like you Mike, but it'll never happen. Nice mix but lacking in expression. Each instrument and section needs a bit of love and care with legato and dynamic variation. I say this as someone who struggles with the same issues.
