Inspection
November 3, 2008 by osborndave
Listening to my Pingu score on the university sound system cleared up many things and helped me gain a clearer perspective on my mix. I received a welcome amount of feedback and criticism for my conceptual ‘toy’ orchestration.
Clarity is a large part of mixing music successfully, and when there are dense Reverbs with similar Eq’s on multiple tracks, the overall sound soon becomes cluttered. With this in mind, I reworked the score, but priority of the sounds for each section is clearer and more exposed so that each musical gesture now has the space needed to affect the listener.
In class we discussed and learnt about recording ‘wild’ and the implications of having a live musician record and include their own articulations to film. I believe a much more playful and warm score is produced with this inclusion of traditional instrumentalists over solely working with digital sounds.
For the third task regarding commercial music, Julio informed us of what a commissioned piece of work for an advert entails and how one forms their deliverables. This is a very difficult way to write for film because any ideas are confined and inevitably ripped apart time and time again before the employing company is happy.
Aside from this fact, I look forward to working on this task!
