Nosferatu Rescore Progress

.aa - week six.

Both Dave Dowling and John Delany have opted to develop symphonic soundtracks for the Nosferatu re-scoring project. With the availability of incredible orchestra sound banks, like Garritan Personal Orchestra, there is potential both these projects to develop into something amazing. In my opinion a combination their orchestral pieces with subtly applied digital effects (such as reverbs) would really set their work apart.

Ben Probert - the man, the myth, the master – has thankfully decided to re-score a different section of Nosferatu to the rest of the class. He has decided to write some piano music for the film, which he intends to record on an old piano. This will be apart of his ‘old fashioned cinematic’ feel to the score. Ben did not expose much music in his presentation, which I am glad of, because I know when he is finished he will reveal something interesting and exciting.

Luke has an interesting theme of subtle aggravation in his re-score – the ambient sounds are designed to slowly were the audience down. What he revealed in his presentation was on-the-way to achieving this goal, and once it is finalised and polished the effect of this idea will be much greater in impact.

Crazy Matt seems to be in the drawing board stages still. A composition student played music by other composers to give us an idea for his influence for his project. His ideas for the score, such as a low-throbbing bass undercurrent throughout, seem well justified and I look forward to hearing take on scoring Nosferatu.
