"There are various things you can do to develop a melody. As said, you can use a certain mottiff that appears in the melody to create a section based on it, changing keys, and moving through them with this mottiff as your "boat", go through a…"
"One approach that opens up plenty of possibilities is to write the melody down and slice it into small chunks of material that differ from one another. Then you can rearrange their order, or use one multiple times in a progression, or play them…"

"hey dude for some reason it won't load for me. Have you put this on SoundCloud?"
"I haven't composed for this genre, and I don't know what the "standard" way of scoring for this is. That said, I might start by scoring the "hits" first, and then compose around the hits. Since you've already got most of the work done, there might…"
"Thanks a lot @Gav & Janet. The thing I found hard was matching up the hit points. Who ever had cut the trailer had used different amounts of time between each scene change so it was really tough to get a consistent number of bars and tempo. It also…"
"Hi, LP! You've got the suspense going, and it's scored well to the cuts of the scenes. I suggest taking it one step further, and creating some musical "hits" that coincide with the actions within each scene, between the cuts, such as a motif for the…"
"This is well done. I think it owes something to Psycho, as do many scores in the genre"
"Hey Joe!
Maybe helpful or not...but, I usually plan each 'project' in advance, by laying out a specification. For example, if you're writing a demo piece, but not to picture, it's helpful to set out a rough musical structure and imagine how it will…"

"There's one main idea here, which is nice, but needs development to motivate someone to listen to the end. Just a personal opinion, but I really dislike the 'soprano' - really sounds naaaasty. Also, you could probably improve the sense of…"
"I think you need to lessen the attack on the synth lead you're using. It's creating a 'tick' sound and I think it would sound more pleasant without it. Also I would look at the mix at about 3min. Those guitars come in a bit strong for my liking and…"
"Hey I bought Hollywood Strings Gold, but I've never used LASS...so can't really compare the usability, for the sound I guess you just have to judge by the examples they put on their websites.

Hey man,
Really interesting stuff! I'm not sure where it would even fit in the music spectrum.. which is definitely a good thing! What program do you use for your violin sound? Or do you actually play and record the violin?
Anyway,good stuff.
Took a listen to your music...some good stuff here man. Enjoyed the arrangement and groove on Down in the Rabbit Hole. Nice production as well.
Cheers,
Ryan
