Composing

Kat Spencer My favorite is "Carol of the Bells" by John Williams (Home Alone).

Hey Kat Spencer, Kenny G, love saxophone , Celine Dion I can harmonize with, and Ill Divo makes me feel like I am in love shifting my mood on the first song. They fill my home with beautiful voices and music that lifts spirits and warm souls.

The rock guitarist in me loves Trans-Siberian Orchestra. I would love to put together a local Christmas show with all their greatest Christmas tunes, my cover band Hired Gunn has talked about it but it’s a ton of work and we never seem to find the time. The film composer in me loves the John Williams Home Alone sound track / score!

I can't wait to see Disclosure Day, Navid Lancaster! It looks and sounds incredible!

My anticipating is growing!!

Me too!

Wow this is so close to the heart. Bring it on Whoow

Zaključek / Ending

Kamera se dvigne nad Kranj. Zvezde zasijejo nad mestom. Na nebu se pojavi napis:

“Zgodovina filma – Tomaž Fajfar”

You're welcome, Geoff Hall. I listen to "Survivor" when I work on an Action or Thriller script. I'm gonna listen to the "Bloom" remix when I write. Thanks again. Have a great weekend!

I think Vivaldi’s Four Seasons is a great example of turning the feelings of the seasons into music.

But I still have a question: did he truly succeed in translating the seasons into sound, or do we feel it that way because we already know which part represents winter—cold, struggle, and survival—and which part represents spring—flowers, nature, love, and happiness?

What I’m really asking is whether he truly succeeded, or whether we are unconsciously projecting our prior knowledge onto what we hear.

Meriem Bouziani hi Meriem, I suppose you might have to go back to the original audience and see what they thought. I also think it depends what you mean by representing the seasons. Such things are best left to my imagination, rather than a tick list of seasonal phenomena. Maybe we are too programmed by musical history and commentary, to answer your question truthfully?

Yes, I agree with you—we are programmed in certain ways. If we want to understand the true meaning and emotional impact of music, we would need to ask someone who has never heard it before and knows nothing about its title or story.

That’s incredibly hard to find today. It might require studying people who are still isolated from modern technology, or who live in environments closer to early human societies—similar to hunter-gatherer communities. That kind of approach aligns closely with genuine psychological research Geoff Hall

Maurice Vaughan I looked for the transformed “Bloom” track on iTunes, but sadly couldn’t find it. I would love to play it during a writing session.

Thanks for sharing the video, Ashley Renée Smith. The music in the clip is incredible! I didn't used to pay much mind to music and sound in scripts, but I learned they can enhance stories. I'd never treated music as a character in a script, but that would be fun to try. Maybe a villain character.

Music was an important part of the world-building in The Disabled Puzzle. In some scenes, I use Beethoven’s music; in others, I simply describe what the music should feel like. Overall, I believe music reinforces the story.

I once saw an Instagram reel of a horror scene where the music was replaced with something funny, and the scene completely lost its terrifying impact. The emotional effect on the viewer disappeared.

Atmosphere, mood, meaning, and space... Coming soon from musician Mandrake: the new album "Gradstein 2", featuring 18 tracks. Listen on Apple Music and Spotify—and let us know what you think!

My goal is to clear my plate of lots of "tasks" so that my brain is free to be creative again :)

I hope to write some new lyrics and some more stand up comedy material.

Nice Ville Hildén!

Thanks Maurice Vaughan! I have to be patient because my kids and I are doing this together, my son in particular is really getting into making films, and I want to see what he can do! It will be worth the wait.

You're welcome, Kat Spencer. That's great that you're making the video with your kids!

Haley Mary, hi from here to there. Very impressive with your writing. I can only write in English. However, I have translated some of my songs into various languages and then recorded them using A.I. You have an interesting choice of languages. I have never been to Spain, but I did live in Mexico for a while. As for Russian, I was actually living in Russia the day the Soviet Union ended. Regarding Ukraine, I visited there when it was still part of the Soviet Union. And for Hebrew, I do have some connection to Jewish life and culture. I am a gentile but, I founded the first Jewish public library in Lithuania since 1943. In fact, the Vilnius Jewish Library will be 14 years old in exactly one week.

You said you're always open to collaborate. I write lyrics, have about 30 songs on the streaming services with a couple collaborators, but mainly one who takes my word and creates magic. But I look for some other collaborators. Let me know if you'd like to see some of my words.

Lenny Levy, it is very nice to hear from you. I would enjoy seeing what you have written. I should state, as I have many times on Stage 32, that I write songs. However, the voices and instrumentation are A.I. generated. Every word of the more than 500 songs I have written came directly from me. Yesterday, I wrote nine songs. The day before that I wrote 11. I do not force anything, just that the words keep on flowing out. Some days I may only write one song. I never know. Feel free to add me here on Stage 32 and let`s chat.

All of my lyrics that are on the streaming services have music written and performed by someone else. You're writing more songs than I am. But I'm also working on plays, movie scripts and poetry. What do you do with your songs after they're finished? Let me know if you would like some of your lyrics reviewed before you turn then over to A.I.

Lenny, unfortunately, I have not yet found anyone to record my songs. As for other writing, I write TV scripts and poetry. I also wrote a script for a stage musical.

As for reviewing my lyrics beforehand, I appreciate the thought. However, I have full confidence in my lyrics before sending them to A.I. All of my songs are written in five minutes or less, most with no revisions. I wrote 27 songs over the past three days. I will see how many I write today. I am currently at my farm. No time for writing until later in the day. You are very welcome to check out my songs on Bandcamp. Look for the username Brentango. Or, I can send you the link if you like. Almost all of my songs have the lyrics posted. That way you can see what I have written. I have almost 500 posted there. I have around 100 still to post. Then, however many I write in the future.

Thanks Maurice Vaughan !! appreciate it. It's the IBRIDO from Sonokinitics.

They have a big library of different kind of sounds !! - for different type of genres to write in.

Here's their main page:

https://www.sonokinetic.net

Well, not good enough to win yet, Maurice. I think a few others had more orchestration in some parts. This one does work well for an Indie project - still yes, ... thank you.

The Grand prize was all the Sonokinetic sounds !! plus time with Michael !!

You're welcome, Kerry Kennard. Thanks for the link!

Nice job Kerry Kennard sounds great. I do like those sounds!!

Mark Gosney , thank you. Sonokinetics has many sounds - amazing what they can do !

With this one, IBRIDO, the composer (user) has four variable parameters (Horizontal - for waves and sounds) , then there are secondary parameters for volume, etc. to make interesting sounds.

The beginning Orch. and interesting instruments - sounds are mostly from Apple - from creating the template (cinematic) from Logic Pro's list.

Incredibly precise work, well done.
