    I Just Finished My First Demo, I'd Appreciate If Someone Listned

    I've seen this exact post on a handful of different forums lately, sometimes repeated. Curious if he's doing it himself or through some sort of promo company. Either way, it's pretty effective, he's got a pretty good number of plays for the past 5 months (note to OP, you might want to change...

    What are you working on?

    Thanks, and thanks for listening! I'm very proud of it! Also, if you or anyone else wants to use a song in a film, let me know and I'll hook you up with .wav and/instrumental mixes. Won't be good for most films, but for the right one (horror, intense drama, dark fantasy) they could be awesome.

    What are you working on?

    Every time I try to get out, they pull me back in.... So doing the Haunted House I do every year, which is always fun. Will probably be doing music for a horror stage play next year that I can't talk about yet, but it's crazy exciting and as soon as I can announce it, I will. That said, I'm...

    Books about life

    A great starting place for philosophy is Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. It is a novel about a young girl being introduced to this history of western philosophy, and gives you a good summary of human thought for the past couple thousand years. It's wonderful, deep and engaging and gives you...

    RIP Gene Wilder

    RIP. Loved all of his films, but the one that always gets me is The Little Prince. Not because it's a particularly good adaptation (though miles better than the recent animated one; I could go on and on about that one). It's because Wilder, of all people involved with any adaptation, really...

    sound Unknown music

    Reminds be more of Kamen than Zimmer (specifically his Robin Hood theme, but this is not that). But it's not quite as rich or polished, so it's either an earlier work, or someone imitating it. Not sure, but I'll do some digging!

    What's up party people?

    I have one of those pac-man mugs at work! They are wonderful! Show in a couple hours; finished and recorded my Suicide cover: https://soundcloud.com/doors-in-the-labyrinth/frankie-teardrop

    What's up party people?

    I would also like my pretty hair back; it was a long blue mohawk that my corporate office day job won't go for (I often ask). The real reason I strive for creative success... Been going to lots of shows, playing a few myself, the usual. Worked up a cover of Suicide's "Frankie Teardrop" to...

    In Need of a Folk Guitarist/Aritst for Soundtrack to Hiking/Coming of Age movie

    Sounds like a job for IT member Beatlesfan1225! Not sure if he's around much these days, but records under the name River Rubin https://soundcloud.com/riversrubin

    Anybody doing the 48 this year?

    Sitting this one out, due to gig conflicts, though suggested to my team if some live music footage would work, they will know where to find me! I've done it 7 or 8 times though, including a crazy two films at once! It's always a fun experience, and best of luck to anyone participating this...

    What to do with director's credit?

    There is a long and storied tradition of directors removing their name for various reasons : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Smithee

    Sound Design for 48HFP

    my team has had mixed results with punching in one or two ADR lines in the past, for most of the reasons stated above. If you really want to try it, go for it! And if the genre you draw is appropriate, why not work with the limitation and intentionally dub it really, really badly! That can be...

    Greetings from Pittsburgh

    Welcome! I'm also in Pittsburgh! If you're doing post, it's possible we've crossed paths before, or at least know a lot of the same folks!

    Is IT for Visual Filmmakers Only?

    I can probably help with that; I've done a lot of similar stuff. Some questions first: - acoustic or electric? - amp or DI? Mic? - What interface are you using? - by "floor gazer" do you mean like My Bloody Valentine? Lush? Slowdive? Jusu? Low? Explosions In The Sky? If you have an example of...

    Purchasing song rights

    That's awesome! Congrats! If it didn't work out, I was going to second dready's suggestion. For the sake of argument, if you identified what it was you liked about the song...the lyrical content, the arrangement/tone of the song, the general shape of the melody, etc. If you can figure out...

    sound Dates added to Goblin US tour!

    This was unbelievable! Very different from the other Goblin show. A little harder, but the band were having a lot more fun. 3 piece, lots of electronics and some of the best live keys I've ever seen! They played Goblin soundtrack and album songs, Simonetti solo soundtrack and album songs and a...

    Christopher Lee RIP

    I never did end up finishing the fan edit video I wanted to, but I did throw together a slideshow tribute with stills and promo shots of as many of his films as I could find. I didn't get all of them, but most of the big ones are covered. It's his birthday today, so a fine time to share, and...

    There was this place I once knew...

    Yeah, I'm not around as much as I used to be. In part because my interests have moved in a different direction. Not really doing film scores right now, and not looking to do one (though maybe in the style of my non-film music, for the right project, but that's a different discussion). Still...

    What's your hottest track right now?

    That might be tough; they haven't been around since 2002 I think. I always grab the cds (they put out two) when I see them, so I'll see what I can do, or at the very least, send you a copy!

    archived-videos Doors In The Labyrinth - Carcosa (True Detective fan video)

    One year later, I've re-recorded the song from the demo to a full studio recording and put it on the EP I just released (https://doorsinthelabyrinth.bandcamp.com/). S2 was rushed and clumsy, but I enjoyed it. HBO decided to give the creator all the time he needed for S3, and now it's looking...
