This is my second contribution to the archives. I wanted to write music for Michael Kingery's
"Light House" but I needed to redo the sound effects too.
I searched http://www.stonewashed.net/sfx.html and found most of the effects I wanted then arranged them in iMovie.
The emotional concept behind this score is for a longing for space travel, tension, and inspiration. This is definately a modal piece ranging from F Dorian, to Eb Lydian Dominant, D Major Phrygian, C Dorian, Bb Lydian Dominant, Ab Lydian Dominant, G Dorian, and back to F Dorian. Basically modulating modally down the F Dorian scale.
The instrument sounds were found on http://www.hammersound.net/. I wanted to get the most natural sounds I could then combine them to sound like an orchestra. I never really found decent string sounds so I combined the best sound fonts I had.
Many thanks to Michael Kingery for the great visuals. I also included some of his original music at the credits.
