The Stage 32 Videos: Orchestral Film Score

My interpretation of the sequence

Step into the world of epic film scoring as I compose music for a thrilling scene from Wonder Woman! This video showcases the creative process behind scoring such a powerful moment, featuring a split-screen view of the scene and the music notation in Cubase.

Featuring the lute, organ pipe, graceful dance, and the grandeur of the largest symphony orchestra in the world, this project captures the cinematic soul of music and nature.

I recently completed a new orchestral piece, The White Stone, that experiments with simplicity and grandeur. The composition features a blend of brass, woodwinds, strings, and choir, using mixed scales to create a distinctive emotional landscape. How do you approach the balance between minimalism and richness in your compositions or creative projects? I'd love to hear your perspective!

In this video, I dive into the details of how automation played a crucial role in shaping the dynamics of my original composition for the XSpace project. By leveraging automation in Cubase, I was able to precisely control volume levels, panning, and expressive elements throughout the piece. This technique allowed me to emulate the nuanced performance of real musicians, crafting a sound that feels authentic and alive. As a result, about 90% of the mixing was accomplished during the recording and composition phase itself, creating the impression of a live orchestra performing the piece. This approach enhanced the overall realism and emotional depth of the music, making it sound as though an entire orchestra was playing, despite being produced in a solo studio setting.
