Libera Me
Jul 5th
I wanted to post a “Making of” tonight but unfortunately I only got about a third of the way through the article. To make up for this, here is the score to Libera Me.
There are some obvious things that have changed between this draft-score and the final version you’ll hear, most importantly being the ending and the range of the voice in certain places. Stephanie is an extremely gifted mezzo-soprano and there was no sense not taking advantage of the superior tessitura.
Enjoy!

The Making of Anomaly (Violins and Guitars, OH MY!)
Before I start talking about working with live performers, I thought it’d be a good idea to discuss the process behind creating one of my favorite tracks on the soundtrack. I’ve got demos of the piece through various stages of its creation as well. I’ll be listening the gear used and what’s added through each of the three iterations up to the final version. I also spend a LOT of time discussing the live performance elements of this track.
The Making of GunGirl 2 OST: pt. 1
Jun 30th
In the next few days I’d like to talk about the process behind creating the soundtrack for GunGirl 2, which, as always, you can listen to here. Some of the things I’m going to tackle include how to approach a large-scale soundtrack, how to work with a developer/producer on achieving the goals they set out for you, working with live performers, some tools I find invaluable, and how to mix and master your music to get that cutting edge.
I’ll probably post this over a few days, but let’s get started, shall we?
