Horn Sound

"Horn Sound"

Every sound in this composition, from the melodic to the percussive, the atmospheric effects to the bass originates from a Paxman French Horn.

This composition was created for a Kingston University assignment 10 years ago.

Recordings for this composition were taken from three places: De Lissa Hall, the De Lissa Hall Lecture Theatre and my home studio.  The acoustic was rather different in all three locations: my home studio being dry, De Lissa Hall having a little reverberation and the De Lissa Lecture Theatre which seemed to have a short echo delay.  I found the lecture theatre's acoustic was pleasing for softer tones but not suitable for anything above mezzo forte.  I recorded over 23 minutes worth of material of which I knew a lot would be discarded.  I then transferred the material to an Apple Mac computer and began to discard unnecessary remnants using Peak (editing software).  From there I created single samples and manipulated them.

My main considerations for this composition were timbre and spacialisation.  Originally, different timbres were produced by use of dynamics, hand-stopping, glissandi and muting.  Once the samples were in the computer I manipulated them to produce more variation in tone.  Some samples were manipulated to imitate the sound of a trumpet, muted trumpets and even a tuba.

In terms of spacialisation, I recorded a range of sounds with regard to microphone positioning.  For example, the 'rattling of valves' and the 'air through the horn' have a more intimate sound due to a closer microphone position.

The composition's structure is similar to the ABA form, the A section being quite short.  The first A section realizes the horn's preparation to play.  First we hear the mouthpiece going in (this sample was manipulated to produce the rhythm heard, and then pitch shifted down an octave).  We then hear air being blown down the French Horn later combined with rattling of valves.  Section B begins with a horn glissando that evolves into other related manipulated samples.  Section B expresses the following parameters: timbre, pitch, attack, duration and amplitude.  The last section is similar to the first A section and 'bookends' the composition.

It's the first Bond film to be released in IMAX venues and coincides with the 50th anniversary of the James Bond series which began in 1962 with Dr. No.

Skyfall Plot:

James Bond is missing and presumed to be dead. Identities of every active MI6 undercover agent are leaked onto the internet. M's ability to run the Secret Service is questioned and she becomes the subject of government review. Bond reappears when the service is attacked and follows a trail from London to the South China Sea.

- Directed by: Sam Mendes
- Written by: John Logan, Neal Purvis and Robert Wade. (Peter Morgan left the project).
- Produced by: Eon Productions for MGM, Sony Pictures Entertainment and Columbia Pictures.
- Premiere 23rd October 2012
- Music Composer: Thomas Newman

Skyfall Soundtrack:

Thomas Newman, who worked with Sam Mendes as composer for Road to Perdition, American Beauty, Revolutionary Road and Jarhead replaced David Arnold as music composer. Arnold commented that Mendes selected Newman because of their work together and not because of scheduling conflicts or his work with director Danny Boyle as composer for the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics.

Singer-Songwriter Adele has written and recorded the film's theme song with songwriter Paul Epworth. It's release - 0:07am BST on 5th October 2012 - "James Bond Day".

Prayer For Peace

Prayer for Peace

This is the first piece of music I ever wrote (aged 16); notated the old fashioned way - with pen and paper! It was written at home for a GCSE Music course originally as a piano solo; years later I produced a recording of it whilst adding a few other orchestral instruments. This is the recording.

LOVE (As cited on Wikipedia):
Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection —"the unselfish loyal and benevolent concern for the good of another". Love may describe actions towards others or oneself based on compassion or affection.

In English, love refers to a variety of different feelings, states, and attitudes, ranging from pleasure ("I loved that meal") to interpersonal attraction ("I love my partner"). "Love" may refer specifically to the passionate desire and intimacy of romantic love, to the sexual love of eros, to the emotional closeness of familial love, to the platonic love that defines friendship, or to the profound oneness or devotion of religious love, or to a concept of love that encompasses all of those feelings. This diversity of uses and meanings, combined with the complexity of the feelings involved, makes love unusually difficult to consistently define, compared to other emotional states.

Love in its various forms acts as a major facilitator of interpersonal relationships and, owing to its central psychological importance, is one of the most common themes in the creative arts. Love may be understood as part of the survival instinct, a function to keep human beings together against menaces and to facilitate the continuation of the species.

(As cited on Wikipedia)
Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion primarily involving the art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue, and voice. It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, and the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments. Beatboxing today is connected with hip-hop culture, being one of "the elements", although it is not limited to hip-hop music. The term "beatboxing" is sometimes used to refer to vocal percussion in general (see vocal percussion for details).
