Ok … so it’s dylan_baby@hotmail.com
“So, Spider-Man, what do you think of this whole situation New York is in?”

“oh look it’s dr. octopus,
hoffman is just extraneous,
venom is too spontaneous,
for meeeeeeeeee …..” (dancers doing choreographed moves wildy behind him)I’ve seen a few of these myself. Pretty interesting how much music was in fact cut from the movie. I can just imagine the hours and hours of creating that and then it gets put away. Then again, I guess it’s like that in any film.

What’s really mental is the Sonar I have won’t even play the midi files I make. They play fine in windows media player, etc. But not this little program for some odd reason.
Guess everyone lost interest in this thread … sigh. If anyone wants to chat about this stuff add me to msn, or just about anything in general
Just remove the minus signs … that way I avoid more junk mail lol.

I also don’t get what you mean by tonal center … I checked on the net but have no clue. Wouldn’t it be Cm to Em or Em to Gm? Again, I’m not clear on what you mean, and there’s nothing on the net suggesting what it means unless it’s a different term or something. Is it really, “tonal center?”

Cool, I’d really like to hear what some of the guys/girls came up with on the forum. I have some old works that were on my comp but were sadly deleted due to a hard drive crash. Now I have a flash drive, but too little too late I suppose, lol. I’ve been fiddling with a few ideas in my head lately so I hope I can come up with something clever. I’m lacking a little inspiration so it would be awesome to hear some other works by composers here.
On another note, I now have Serenada Schizophrana and listened to it this morning. I must say this is such a wild concert, it’s nice to see Elfman’s roots come back out in some of the pieces.

evil-dead: Do you have any music on the net I can listen to? You seem to know alot about it … heck if anyone on this board has any music I’d love to hear some. It’s cool seeing what everyone’s style is. Oh and thanks for the suggestions … I’ll try to get Finale and see what I can do. Hope I still have it in me lol.

Listen-To-Ligeti: Thanks for all of your input. I am currently taking music in university, and it’s just a two-part intro to theory that we’ve been covering. The first half I knew most of the stuff because I taught myself, that’s how I know what a tritone is … basically whenever I wanted to learn something I would look it up on the internet and try it out. The chords used on the Simpsons theme uses tritones, that I know. There’s the C, E, F# chord that Danny uses in the opening bit which is a tritone. I’m getting Rite of Spring as I’m writing this … it’s 32 megs so I’m sure it’ll be a lengthy treat lol.
boingomusic: That’s a really good approach that you take. I used to write little things in winjammer based on a single melody, and then just build and build upon it. There were so many tricks that I learned a long time ago, but I can’t quite remember them because I was drinking pretty heavily back then. Sad but true
Here’s another question, what programs do you guys normally use when composing? I mean, I used to use winjammer, and that’s a midi program and things can sound pretty atrocious lol. I’m curious as to what you guys use for a more authentic sound. I understand people use soundfonts, but I’m not sure how to apply them or get them working or anything. Then again, I’d have to get a decent program too, although I do have Cool Edit Pro when it comes to writing my songs.

Good point, and thanks for the reply. I’ll have to get a hold of some sheet music and do some analysis. I’m pretty hard-working when it comes to music, I was just hoping perhaps someone already knew of a common “thread” in Danny’s music. I really like his strings that seem to sweep downwards as well, I’m guessing those are just appregios of some sort … but I’ll look into it.
I was actually thinking of taking a different approach with a few of my new songs, and perhaps turning some of his trademarks into my songs … but on the guitar i.e. sweeping strings changed into descending pull-offs on the guitar. Just for a different sound I guess. I need some inspiration to get recording again, I’ve had writer’s block for a little while and this idea gives me a bit of energy to come forth and make some songs.
