Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I will just please ask people to be aware of the rules of the various competitions in future and if there are any grey areas please ask a question and I'm sure we can sort it out. I don't want to get too serious about it but it would be good to follow the challenges a teeny weeny bit more strictly
<:-P

I'd like to point out mine would have been much better if *somebody* hadn't taken it out of the freezer and left it to melt

I know it's possible but I just didn't have the time and energy to get it all working. I had a grand plan to record something very similar to the 'Unquiet Spirit' track that I submitted but with pecussion, bass and guitar played along to the film to emphasise the action.
What I ended up with is, I feel, more akin to a music video than a soundtrack. I have great admiration for anyone who managed to sync up their track with the action - whether as a more modern 'soundtrack' with effects, etc or as an old-fashioned 'silent movie' style piece improvised along with the action.
And then there's Grunfeld's masterpiece! Definitely stretching the challenge brief to breaking point. I'm trying to decide how important that is to my voting decisions. Absolutely stunning piece of work, though.

I guess my life must just feel like being chased by zombies!
>:D<
Used Cubase, Zoom g3, an undisclosed mix of guitar and synth (guitorgan?) and an old mans voice
can not wait to watch these later!

Mine was produced in two hours using NI Maschine for the drums, Roland GR55 for various bass sounds and a Strat through a clean amp sim with a Strymon Blue Sky for the ambient guitar noise. This was dumped into Cubase and the sounds manipulated using Izotope Alloy and Trash and Steinberg plugins.

Firstly, I thought @Grunfeld 's piece was excellent but in the end decided it strayed too far from the challenge brief to get on the podium. Superb, atmospheric piece though - in another challenge it would probably have won.
So my votes went (in reverse order)
3rd - @Lev Great use of sound fx to emphasise the action. I thought your piece was the closest to a 'proper' soundtrack style entry and you managed to do everything I failed with as far as getting the computer to synchronise all the audio and video. Nice credits at the end, too.
2nd - @Daveww Really effective atmosphere and 'vibe'. The playing illustrated the visual action well and the percussion really helped emphasise the action. I liked the 'Phew! I'm safe now' chord at the end as well.
1st - @Thecolourbox I loved the guitar on this and I'm a sucker for a bit of William Blake. Maybe more of a 'music vid' style than 'film soundtrack' but the music and images went together really well - a bit like those old B&W films they used on The Old Grey Whistle Test. Is this the same guy who posted a thread about giving up the guitar because he wasn't any good? Bollocks! I hear talent there.
@daveww really like your feeling of motion as well, really could imagine it mariachi style with a banging drum as well
@fretwired really interesting and different groove for the fretboard, looked coherant and like an actual mash up music vid style, with a lovely building up of texture
@lev wow, sounded like jools Holland being possessed by demons, in an awesome way. Boogie woogie from hell and a real fitting soundtrack
@grunfeld agree it doesn't fit the brief but who cares outside of that, its very emotive and clearly means something strongly to you so well played for expressing it and getting it out there
@steamabacus smooth man! Love the jazzy drums, very real movement in the piece that matches the zombie frenzy perfectly. I think I've seen that zombie playing bass at my local jazz club actually. Really liked the uneasy atmosphere your piece created. And I'm not just saying that because you were nice to me and gave me five points, my first five points ever. Honestly! Thanks though
@thecolourbox who the frick invited that plank?
