Music composition is the process of composing original pieces of music for use in films, TV shows, video games and commercials etc. There are many different ways to go about composing music for these types of projects. One way is to start with a theme and then write variations on that theme. Another method is to start with a mood and chord progressions and then write melodies that fit that mood. A third option is to start with a scene and then write a melody that fits that scene.
2. Film Scoring Basics
Film scoring is the process of writing original music for use in movies. In order to do this properly, you need to understand how sound works in film. Sound in film is created using two primary methods: recording and editing. Recording refers to capturing sounds directly onto tape or digital audio files. Editing refers to manipulating those recordings to create the final product.
3. Writing for Film
Writing for film involves taking a script, or working with the visuals and breaking down each scene with the film director to discuss his or her musical vision. This is known as the 'spotting session'. Each character 'could' have their own unique musical motif. What's important is that the music supports or accentuates any dialogue or emotional context.
4. Orchestration
Orchestrating means arranging various instruments together to make a complete piece of music. When orchestrating, keep in mind that each instrument has its own range of pitch and volume. You'll want to find a balance between the instruments' ranges and volumes and balance them harmonically and tonally.
5. Mixing
Mixing is the process of combining several tracks of recorded music into one cohesive track. You'll want to listen to the finished mix and make any necessary adjustments before sending it off.
6. Recording Studio Basics
The recording studio is where the actual recording takes place. Studios vary in size, equipment, and cost. However, no matter what type of studio you choose, you'll need to know how to operate it or have an engineer on hand.
7. Post-Production Basics
Post-production is the process of making changes to a completed project after it has been mixed and mastered. This includes things like adding special effects, changing the length of a song, or adding additional vocals.

Logic Pro X (Apple) My Preferred DAW for Music and Audio Production
Logic Pro X is my preferred digital audio workstation for scoring feature films, TV commercials, animation series, corporate videos, library music and various other media productions. I'm often asked which software I use to compose and produce music. It's powerful, sophisticated, a pleasure to work with and fantastic for synchronising music to visual content; I'm always creating precise hit points to work with specific scenes. Over the years I've also acquired a large number of third party sample libraries to compliment the software. However, Logic Pro X is a complete professional package and if you don't wish to add extra samples or plugins that's fine. Garageband is the entry level app and is available with Macs and iOS devices. If you're looking for more power and capabilities then Logic Pro X is a necessity. The audio and music production suite offers a tremendous amount of functions alongside a ton of high quality virtual instruments, effects, samples and apple loops. The recent addition of Flex Pitch for controlling and manipulating pitch is on par with all the other pitch tuning plugins like AutoTune for example. Logic Pro X isn't available for iPhones® or iPads® but the Logic Pro Remote app is a capable companion for controlling various functions remotely if required.

Aquaculture is an important industry. Unsustainable development of aquaculture causes a negative impact, especially towards the environment and the local community. Because of this, WWF has developed the Aquaculture Improvement Program (AIP) to help aquaculture farmers to improve their aquaculture practices; to be greener and more sustainable.

ABOUT BEN: Ben hit the small screen in 2003 on Channel 4 soap "Hollyoaks" and became a household name.

Sesame Street TV Advert for Enfagrow A+ (Mead Johnson). Music composed by Jon Brooks (2005). Another TVC i worked on whilst working in-house at WASP Studios in Malaysia.
Mead Johnson & Company was founded in 1905 in Jersey City, New Jersey, by Edward Mead Johnson, Sr. E. Mead launched his business after leaving Johnson & Johnson, which he had co-founded with his brothers.
Mead Johnson & Company introduced its first major infant feeding product in 1910 and followed it the next year with the product that would set the company on its path to leadership in infant and children's nutrition. A carbohydrate milk-modifier, Dextri-Maltose® became the first clinically supported, physician recommended infant feeding product in the United States.
In 1915, the company relocated to Evansville, Indiana to have better access to the raw materials needed to manufacture Dextri-Maltose.
Over the next several decades, Mead Johnson built upon its leadership in science-based nutrition, introducing many innovative infant feeding products while expanding into vitamins, pharmaceutical products, and enteral and parenteral nutrition.
Historic firsts in the U.S., some of the company's products brought such significant improvements in quality of life that they became cultural icons of their times. Others, developed in cooperation with clinicians and leading nutrition researchers, established a partnership between Mead Johnson and the scientific community that continues to this day.
Although Mead Johnson was founded in the United States and continues to maintain its worldwide headquarters there, it is a global company with more than 70 products in over 50 countries.
In fact, the company's global aspirations were launched long before the world was a place of true global commerce. Canada, which was assigned its first Mead Johnson sales representative in 1907, became the company's first market outside the U.S., with a separate Canadian organization established in 1922.
During the 1940s, Mead Johnson began establishing wholly-owned subsidiaries in Mexico and Latin America, where it had already been operating successful export businesses. That expansion continued, extending into Europe, Asia, and the Pacific Rim, until 1967, when the company was acquired by Bristol-Myers Company, which later merged with Squibb Corporation.
During the decades that followed, Mead Johnson's transformation into a global company continued. While market-specific products were developed to meet customers' needs in individual countries, existing products were expanded into new markets. During the same time, the Enfamil® name grew to be recognized worldwide for its family of infant nutritional products and for its leadership in pediatric nutrition.
Today, Mead Johnson's North American and international growth progresses, as the company continues to pursue innovation in science-based nutrition on behalf of infants, parents, and health care professionals throughout the world.

In the mid 1970s, Ridsect was one of the pioneer insecticides that developed into an aerosol spray can and widely used by residents living in the rural areas. When urbanization took place in Malaysia in the 80s, Ridsect aerosol spray migrated along with the rural residents to the urban centres. In the late 80s, Ridsect overtook the urban aerosol brands to become the market leader in aerosol insecticides. Today, Ridsect is still the dominant market leader in aerosol insecticides with nearly half of the market shares.
The success of Ridsect in the aerosol segment encouraged the brand to expand its equity to other segments like mosquito coils, mats and liquid vaporizers. By 2004, Ridsect became the leading total insecticide brand in Malaysia up till today. In 2011, Ridsect was acquired by S.C. Johnson & Son.
‘Everything’ is a satisfying, self-assured debut single from the up and coming artist Lynsey Grace; featuring an evocative, epic and atmospheric pop ballad. Mancunian Singer/Songwriter Lynsey Grace teamed up with film composer Jon Brooks to produce her first emotive single. She’s creative, passionate and likes to express herself through songwriting. Lynsey Grace draws her inspiration from her life experiences, looking to connect with the listener. Jon Brooks specialises in Music Production for Film, Television, Artists and Advertising. Lynsey and Jon have been working together over the last year and intend to release some more of their material in the very near future.
ARTIST NOTES:
(Lynsey Grace) ‘Everything’ is a very personal song to me and one which I’m excited to release as my first track from my body of work. I’m extremely proud of the song as I poured a lot of emotion into the lyrics. I hope the listener will feel this and be able to relate to some of the lyrics themselves. Jon Brooks created the emotive and beautiful music which complements the lyrics and enhances the emotional response I was aiming to express. The track is soulful and raw, and there is no doubt this song was written from the heart. 'Everything' is a very special song to us both; it was the first track that really connected with Jon and I. It also confirmed we have a special creative bond and musical working relationship.

LYRICS:
Verse 1:
Only now I see
Only now I know the truth
Forbidden for so long to know the reason why
Heartfelt was my plea to take away the pain I felt inside
Trying for so long to understand the reason why
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know why everything is different
Every time I look at you I feel this pain
And I don’t understand why everything is different
Every time I look at you I feel this pain
Chorus:
Time to, to take a bow now
Show me this person
That you’ve become before me
I’m not willing or able
I walk away
I’m not willing to stay
Verse 2:
So sure I knew the way
So certain that I can’t deny
Of everything I knew
Of everything that once was mine
My heart has fell into an empty space I cannot see
Been trying for so long to understand the reason why
Pre-Chorus
I don’t know why everything is different
Every time I look at you I feel this pain
And I don’t understand why everything is different
