Updates from camp Morningdew.
You might think that the summer lazyness got to me…but I’ve actually done a few songs beside swimming the pool and getting a tan. The Following day, is a track I did which would be played during a level-complete screen of a game (TBA). Fangs of the heretic, another club dance track produced while fiddling [...]
Control surface via iPhone
Oh my god, I just discovered the AC-7 control surface on the iPhone. Basically it’s a control surface (you know those old knobs and sliders from the mixerboards of yesterday) which works via WiFi. To make it work with your sequencer (Logic in my case) you just install a little app on your MAC called [...]
Luminati updates.
We are very glad for all the great ciritics we’ve got on our game Luminati from fellow developers and beta testers, therefor we decided to add more stuff to the game. We’ve added hi-score and currently we’re adding a turn-timer and also a level-timer. Oh, and we are also adding a levelsystem. There will be [...]
New Luminati trailer.
We got a new Luminati teaser up at you tube. It shows the AI playing against a human player, and the powerups “Wings of fury” and “Impaler” in action. Nicklas has been hacking AI while I have been working on the options-screen and added more sound effects to the game. We ran into some trouble [...]
Solo piano, Final fantasy on youtube.
Another week went by in a flash! But it’s been a productive week. Yesterday I had one of those really creative moments when melodies just bursts out and I ended up writing a new song in 10 minutes. It’s essential to capture these moments, so I quickly picked up my new Zoom H4n portable and [...]
Thoughts regarding improvisation
As a composer I think from time to time it’s vital to remind oneself the importance of not getting stuck in the same melodic, harmonic, rhythmic and arranging principles. At least for me, I sometimes realize while improvising that I’ve been playing these same phrases over and over again without really getting anywhere. It’s very [...]
Melodic ideas
Another weekend of rainy vacation. So what do you do on a rainy day? Of course you produce some new music themes. Actually I came up with a bunch of new melodic ideas, but chose to develop two of them further. The first song is called “Growing wilder” (puzzle section) and is a playful theme [...]
Game cues and a few tricks
Yesterday I finished a new composition I have been working on for a few days called “Can you keep a secret”. Listen to the final mix in the “orchestral” section of the mp3 player (Keep a secret). I think it’s a suitable theme for a drama or thriller movie maybe with it’s light piano and [...]
Songwriting part 2
Guess what!? It’s time for part 2 of the songwriting tutorial / compendium. Recently I’ve been involved in so many interesting projects I didn’t really have time to write a serious post in my blogg. I guess it’s time to take the next step!? Don’t you¿ How do you begin writing music? How do you [...]
Stravinsky twelve tone music
I just read an interesting article analysing Stravinsky and his application of the twelve tone music method. Be sure to check it out if you are composing film / game scores yourself. I’ve written a few twelve tone themes in the past while studying composition, but this article is really inspiring. Oh, and don’t forget [...]
