Composer's Notes

Born out of a collaboration between the composition studio and film studio at Illinois State University, this is a project demonstrating my compositional output for a film. Credit for all production of the video portion goes to Neil Ray. All audio was produced using Finale 2014.5.

​

The instrumentation of the music behind the video is as follows:

​

• Drumset

• Claps 1

• Claps 2 (because one “claps” channel wasn’t loud enough!)

• Electric Guitar

• Synth Pad

• Electric Bass

• Piano

• Electric Piano

• Vibraphone

​

If you’d like, you can view the score for the music here. However, since the point of this music is not to be performed or recreated, I didn’t bother to go too deep with the small details of the notation or visual appeal of the score. So, disregard any strange notation choices on my part, the spacing of staves, etc. This is purely just so you can see how I created what you hear in the video.
