At long last, the new B.W. Sinfonia work has arrived. The only downside is I'm experiencing much more severe mixer's block this go around. These mixes have been great fun and not only a personal journey into myself but also into my music collection and it astounds me how much is just sitting there going to waste so as is the custom, I've taken some of those albums and gave them a makeover. This one was particularly fun because I thought "how can I top myself after vol. 1?" The simple answer is I'm not here to top myself. Goose Creek vol. 1 was fun but there wasn't enough heart to it, just constant bombast assaulting your ears. The music you will hear in this preview follows that same route but there's an interesting reason for that: Brian Tyler and Shirley Walker.
Just by chance during a night of maddening mixer's block I jokingly overlayed a cue from Brian Tyler's Final Destination 5 score over Shirley Walker's Final Destination and within an hour I just had to step away from the computer and ponder at what I had just done. That segment, which starts around the mid-section, is so far my absolute favorite edit that I've done so far. I never thought it would work but after some careful (but minimal) editing I created what I ultimately dub the "Brian/Walker Standoff." I also developed a much deeper appreciation for Brian Tyler as a composer. I didn't think much of it before but not long after overlaying the two cues I was startled at how well the two tracks lined up and at times worked off of each other. Tyler did a fantastic tribute to Walker in his Final Destination 5 score and this is the ultimate tribute. Fans of the two composers will love and appreciate it. Penderecki lovers will also love this cue as during the stand-off to help make the music more interesting I underlaid Penderecki's "Cappricio on oboe" along with some of his choral works over some of the pieces which really gave me chills to hear 3 of my favorite composers all on the same piece working in synchronous harmony to give the piece an even more intense edge.
For the opening of this I hearken back to my first symphony Blood Wings but it's just a tease here. It'll be played to much greater effect as well in the later movements.
That's where I was forced to going back to using my keen knowledge of my film scores to complete the piece. It's still a work in progress and may change but it's in a form I felt comfortable sharing. There's a nice little "Jeepers Creepers 2" creep-in (pun purely intended) towards the end (cementing a thematic base that was played out in movements 2 and 5 of vol. 1) that I was most especially proud of how it was introduced. Listen for yourself to hear it.
I also utilized excerpts of Rogue Banos' score for Evil Dead in bursts towards the beginning that I may incorporate into the next movements. I was completely blown away by his score and it is really building my anticipation for the film which luckily opens the day after I intend of arriving near L.A. after my 4 day solo road trip. I remember crying shouts of outage upon reading the news of the remake many many years ago but now I can't wait!
Don't expect too much of the bombast throughout the next movements as my ultimate goal with the next 5 movements is creating spacing in between the original 6 movements to form a more cohesive and thematic base so when it's all said and done the entire Goose Creek symphony will run 12 movements totalling around 2 hours and 40 minutes but also will be completely re-ordered. The project will not be completed for many months as I'm taking extra time to ensure this as the perfect companion set.
I've pretty much written myself into a wall with the novel so mixing lighter music is vital in order to back myself out of that corner and go investigate the evil forces that await me outside before being blindsided by a blunt hit to the cranium before waking up in a room of clocks. ;)
The preview was a variety of different formats at different bitrates but the final product is mastered in 48k/24bit FLAC.
I hope you all enjoy and as always comments, recommendations, etc. are always appreciated.
