MOP - Opening Theme Developmment

Was playing with this over the weekend as I had been struggling to dial in the string parts for the opening 1/3rd of the piece. With the piano track dialed in it’s a lot easier to break the sections down and work on them individually.

I went back and listened to the melody from the inspiration piece and realized that it would work just as well at this slower tempo. This mix is pretty grim and the parts aren’t quite there but I know where this is going now.

While Mike continues with the mix on About the Money – I will be focusing on the completion of MOP.

The image - Planet Rise - is another painting from Sami that will be used at the end of the film when the two lovers ascend into space – I think it is stunning – you can see the full image by clicking on it.

About the Money - End Theme

I have all these themes running around my head at the moment – there’s this super strong uplifting progression that has found its way onto the end of “About the Money” – here is the latest development.

Interestingly the same theme can be found in the Frustration II track and I’m kinda excited about the concept of sharing themes across different pieces. I like the idea of remixing and developing and don’t feel that a theme shouldn’t be used just because it has been previously published.

About The Money

There’s a lot going on – this is a good thing – but it does mean that time tends to run away from us. Here is the next track that will be published as music2work2 – this streaming version isn’t the correct mix but should give you a good idea of where it is.

The inspiration for the piece was the movie being produced by Sam and Terry from the Washington Influence Industry. They’ve stayed with us a few times over the summer and I’m in complete agreement with the sentiment of the film. So much so there’s actually some music2work2 in the soundtrack.

They’re currently raising the money to finish off the final few interviews and get into post production as soon as they can. Here’s an earlier introduction to the trailer that was put together about a month ago – it’s only the first third but you get the idea of where they’re going.
