Bela D music box fun!

[Tweedbox]

Okay, I have made it a habit not to share any of my music, and this one I put together in a day, so bear with all the flaws. :o It was just that I had a bit of free time and started to just have some fun with Bela's fabulous music box. Well, one thing lead to another and it just started taking a life of it's own.

I also just picked up RA, so I decided to test it's waters out too for fun. Libraries that were harmed in the making were Hal Strings 1, EWQLSO Gold, Stormdrum, PMI Emperor, RA, Bela D. music box, and a couple of effects.

Hope you enjoy. Again, while far from perfected and edited, it's just kind of a nice rush if you just let yourself go with the story. Thanks for listening! :)

Best to all of you! -Scott

PS.. Warm thanks to all of you great folks at Bela D for the inspiration!

Oh wow. I dont bother to comment very often but this really spoke to me. Great energy and enthusiasm. I'd love to hear it extended into a more detailed story. I think the crowd noises really tipped it off to make it really exciting. An excellent job Sir!!!!

Scott, that's so cool man, thanks for sharing this!

I grew up with that music box playing on my mom's dresser (there was a little sun spot under it when I borrowed it to sample it), so hearing it used in other's pieces is just too much. Especially when they're as cool as this. I'll be sending the link to her too, she gets a kick out of it.

[Tweedbox]

Thanks for such kind and encouraging responses guys! :)

I really think the world of many of this forum's members, so it was a little intimidating to do so. Maybe this will help to crack my shell open a little. ;)

Alan, that's great to get a little history from you on the music box...I think it's a kick that you'll have music to bring back to your mom. Thanks so much for your time in sampling it, not to mention the generosity of gifting it away.

Again, many many thanks...you guys are awesome!

SIncerely, Scott

Scott,

Never feel intimidated. You are very gifted and should let your "children" roam free for all to hear. I found Music Box Race really evoked emotion in me. That's whaty good music is meant to do. Would be a fantastic score for a movie.

Congrats on a wonderful inspiration.

I like.... NEVER feel the need to respond to these but... damnit, bravo man. Great work, great music, great emoting, just great. I agree that a longer version would be awesome, this one kinda smacks you in the face, stick's it's tounge out at you and runs away and your like....what the hell just happened? :D

Well again, a very heartfelt thank you. I'm totally humbled.

Honestly, my heart just aches to be able to immerse myself in scoring and composition. And it's only been for about the last two years that I have even had the chance to do a little here and there to see if really was what I was hoping it would be. It turns out to be even more so than I had hoped. So, in the meantime, I just kinda impart it here and there into some of the pop stuff I work on to quench the thirst. ;)

However, with being in Nashville, I have kind of resigned that if I truly wish to compete against the "Level A's", that a transfer to LA would probably make the most sense...and it just doesn't resonate all that well with the wife. Another "however", I suppose, is that my chances of being heard aren't all that great if I never share what I have. So, I think at this point I might start creating "segments" or whatever ya' wanna call them as a bit of a sampler for my portfolio. Isn't it just awesome the power that we can weild with current state of the art? What a priviledge.

Okay, enough of me here. Again, thank you guys, you really put some light into the day.

Sincerest, Scott

Hmmmm, it used to be located at:

I dunno where it is now. Alan, is this something that is still available as a freebie? I'm certainly not pulling your leg...but it doesn't seem to be around anymore. If it's still up as a freebie, I'd be more than happy to share it with ya'. Is this okay Alan?

Yep.. that should do it.

JPGIII, thank you for taking the time out to write, I really appreciate it! :) You are correct about the brass being EWQLSO. They really gave us some good stuff to work with in there. I'd love to invest in some of the Sam brass one of these days too...great stuff. Thanks again!

[Tweedbox]

Sean, Dan, and Tom...I really can't thank you enough. I know I've already it said it, but I truly am humbled and honored. Coming from you guys, that really means a lot! *wow* :o

I'll keep it brief, but I did want to let you know that your encouragement really runs deep. I am having to get on a plane today (I'm actually getting a little bit of a vacation..woo-hoo!), and I feel as if you've given the "dreamer" inside of me the send off I needed to consider chasing those dreams. I've not felt this "right" in quite some time, and I feel like I've been set on the track to do what I was made to do. I realize to you this might seem like a lot to take away from a few awesomely kind remarks on a 2 minute piece, but you really helped to tear away my biggest obstacle...myself. So again, many thanks to you. I greatly respect your insight and friendship.

Sincerely, Scott

Oh that is a lovely composition ... I too felt I had to post just to say it really sent shivers up my spine. very original.

[hywyn]

That is impressive!! You were in the zone that day. What a nice place to be :)

Sorry I saw this late.. Frank posted the links above, but I just wanted to say these samples have been and will continue to be free. And you would most certianly be okay in giving a copy of them to friends or other forum members, as long as you're not toting them as your own or selling them or anything funky like that. :)
