the point of the movie was more or less that there was no story. It are HD-images from a helicopter of Belgian landscapes. First there is a city, then comes some highway with cars, then industry and a harbor then again cities, then the beach and finally just nature, forests, old castles, that's it. Here's a link with a lo-res no sound version of the clip. http://www.filmfestival.be/video/10.asx hope that helps...

hello everyone... have been chatting on this forum since some 2 weeks. Now, here's my first post. A small soundtrack competition on a documentary movie, so only hi-res landscape and industry images, no passionate emotions, which made it a tricky thing. The score had to be for large orchestra and I'm not a experienced orchestrator. But anyway, the result is a symphonic coloring of an old folk tune, and a littlebit sometimes too much "harry pottery" for what the images are like, but anyway, enjoy The music is rendered with GPO.

lol - that's soo funny, I too had the doctor's buttslap, but I'm going to use a musical whip for that... I think I'm going to combine a fastly raising solo cello figure with in the end of that an oboe or clarinet playing a multiphonic in crescendo and maybe fluttertongue... See how that works... and thx abracadabra for the baby samples :-)

Hey everyone, I'm having a little challenge in a musictheatre piece that I'm currently writing. I need an instrumental color which can symbolize the first primal scream of a newborn child. I'm considering various woodwinds and brass instruments, if necessary with some extended technique, but so far I couldn't think of a good color or instrument... any suggestions are welcome!! grtz, Joost

i agree with mr. Nikolas! I don't think videogames are nessecarily bad, neither is television. But both of them offer a 100% concrete, non-abstract form of entertainment, even in case of some very "clever" videogames. The only form of videogame were this w

I think the distinction is to be made differently: between composing with sound feedback or without. I think the latter is forcing your brain to make a much bigger effort in imagination, which is good. I think the quality of art in general has a strong relationship with the level of imagination involved, both it's creator's imagination as well the public's imagination. And the latter one is something I fear in the future: I think television and computergames are not really developing the general level of active imagination, on the contrary. I think that is one of the causes that we seem to feel that serious art is valued less and less. So we have to educate our children so that they grow up with a lot of active imagination... that is going to be a difficult task! nevertheless, optimistic greetings from Belgium, Joost
