have you taken any music classes or post-production editing? it sounds like you know what your talking about! a friend of mine and i went to USC film school and i'm still learning some new things. you hav a great wealth of knowledge! you said it way better than i did!
ROCK ON! 🙄
Haha. Thanks. 🙂
Yeah, I'm a musician. I've been playing piano for 15 years, saxophone for 12 (my principle instrument), clarinet and flute for 7, oboe for 4... At any given point in high school I was practicing privately for 4+ hours a day, taking 2 1/2 hours of private lessons a week, and rehearsing with 5-6 different ensembles. I've never taken any editing classes, but I have taken a couple jazz composition ones, and written three big band (jazz band) pieces. Then, of course, I've been working on jazz and general music theory for over a decade, so I can appreciate more than a layman.
oh my God! that is soo awesome! 😱
what are you doing here? not to be rude.
i just signed up for the message board this month and from what i can tell is most of everyone's opinion is what the mass media feeds them or what is ever mainstream. only a handful are open minded or even educated when it comes to movies or music. what an accomplishment! you must be so proud of yourself?! 😛

Thanks. 🙂 Yeah, I am proud of myself, I suppose. It's just something that I've always loved doing, and I was lucky enough to have talent as well.
I'm on here because, well, even I can't live music 24/7. There are other things to me - other things I like talking about. 🙂
top composers
Top 5 would have to be, and in no order:
Hans Zimmer
John Williams
Howard Shore
Alan Silvestri
James Horner
Although lately James Honer's creative brain must be low on juice, because he only seem capable of either copying himself or others. Example Bicentenial Man and The Missing took their main themes from Braveheart and Troy was just a complete disaster from the outset.
Best score of late is of course the Lord Of The Rings Trilogy. Can't wait until the 9 disc package comes out. It should be done for every film with a good score.
