Blog by Jon Brooks specialising in Logic Pro X templates, music articles, Youtube videos, music production for film and TV, musical analysis and all things regarding audio production. Apple music and iTunes products are also featured within the blog. Jon is a British composer scoring music for film, television and advertising.
I compose and produce custom music and library tracks for film, TV and advertising. I also run my own recording studio based in Stockport working with local and international artists. I studied music at Anglia Ruskin University (Cambridge) followed by a Masters degree in Composition for Film and TV at Kingston University (London). After my studies I relocated to Malaysia for six years for an in-house composing position before returning to the UK in 2011. I play the piano and french horn and have previously performed alongside Richard Clayderman, for the Queen during her Jubilee Tour and at the Vatican, Rome.
Who (or what has most influenced you and your career)
Whilst composing my portfolio for GCSE music a friend said my music sounded like film scores. That’s the moment the passion hit and i realised what i wanted to do. I couldn’t stop listening to soundtracks and began analysing the emotional response and functional marriage of music to picture. Ultimately, film composers have influenced my musical output and career the most.
What would you say is your greatest achievement to date?
I’m proud to have worked with some amazing creatives and written music for well known brands and clients such as Walt Disney, Coca Cola, Oxford University Press, Clive Farrington (of When In Rome), Sony, Hats on Sticks Pictures, Cadburys, AstraZeneca and Nescafé to name a few.
Who is your all-time favourite artist and why?
I’m torn between Jerry Goldsmith and Hans Zimmer and felt I couldn’t answer without mentioning them both. After hearing the film score in ‘Backdraft’ I fell in love with Hans Zimmer’s work. His scores are incredibly expressive and dramatic. Hans’ execution of combining acoustic instruments with electronica is phenomenal. Not long after, I discovered (the now late) Jerry Goldsmith. Goldsmith’s musical language was extremely versatile, emotionally charged and thematic.
What was the last CD/music download that you purchased?
A cover of Simon and Garfunkel’s ‘The Sound of Silence’ by the American band Disturbed. The original is beautiful, but this powerful version takes it to another level emotionally.
What are your plans for the future?
I plan to continue developing as a composer/producer and produce more film and TV scores. I’d also love to be writing more for video game soundtracks.
Finally, what is your ISM membership to you?
My ISM membership has provided invaluable information, webinars and legal advice.

The author (Soo Seon), history rebellion, the Koch spectrum etc. Author
"It's not yellow, it blows away with Buddha!"
- The American tribute series continues -
It will soon be published as a book.
* Editor's Note
Our society regards the present age as Chosun era - Noron era era.
It is the last century that the shipbuilding system and the Xiamen system collapsed and they entered the era of economic block.
The sources of capital for economic blockade around the world are all the remains of Joseon.
It is a modern propaganda to wash Chosun artifacts.
Therefore, it is no exaggeration to say that the Japanese invasion of Imjinwae is currently in progress.
The troublesome current international situation is an extension of the history of Joseon.
Please understand the answer to the question of why the North Korean story continues to appear in the history band.
It is also the name of the system or organizational system that follows it.
Joseon is not the only history of our nation.
There have been various efforts to find history as territory
We say that it is not a single nation or a limited territory history.
The world is Korea.
The world was one.
You can see the truth if you give up your prejudices about people, territory, country, language, and religion.
* The words of academic academic chairman
What is the theological text "Literary Samhang History"?
The world history we have learned so far by Westerners
It is a history distorted by their taste.
Making the Americas the new continent
I will rewrite Eurasian history
Eliminate the subject of history
Local Local history of each country
It is merely a variation.
Europe (West) after the 17th century so-called anti-ship era
Pretend to have led the world
The Chosŏn Goryeo Silla (Samhan), which was a great subject of history
It was confined to the Korean peninsula.
On this fake world history,
They were occupied.
Therefore, the Korean Samjung Historical Society
Discover fake world history and keep all history on earth
It is a huge historical movement that aims to return to the history of "Samjang History of Korea".
It requires a lot of effort, money and scholarship !!
Our society is trying to accomplish the mission given in heaven with all the power.

*편집자의 말
우리 학회는 현 시대를 조선시대-노론 전성시대로 봅니다.
조선시스템, 샤먼시스템이 붕괴되고 경제블록의 시대로 접어든 것이 지난 세기.
전세계의 경제블록화를 위한 자본의 출처가 모두 조선의 유물입니다.
조선유물을 세탁하는 것이 현대의 프로파간다입니다.
따라서 임진왜란은 현재 진행형이라 해도 과언이 아닙니다.
골치아픈 현재 국제정세들이 모두 조선 역사의 연장선입니다.
역사밴드에 왜 자꾸 북한이야기가 나오느냐는 질문의 해답을 깨닫기 바랍니다.
조선은 지구운영시스템의 이름이기도 하며 이것을 따르는 체제 혹은 조직체계의 이름이기도 합니다.
조선은 우리 민족의 역사만이 아닙니다.
역사를 영토로 찾으려는 다양한 노력들이 있었지만
단일 민족, 제한된 영토의 역사가 아님을 우리는 밝히고 있습니다.
전세계가 조선입니다.
전세계는 하나였습니다.
민족, 영토, 국가, 언어, 종교에 대한 선입견을 버리면 진실이 보입니다.
*학회 학술위원장의 말
신학문 "대조선삼한 역사학" 이란 무엇인가?
이제까지 우리가 배운 세계사는 서세들에 의하여
그들의 입맛대로 왜곡된 역사이다.
아메리카대륙을 신대륙으로 만들고
유라시아 역사를 제멋대로 다시쓰고
역사의 주체를 제거하고
로칼(Local)향토사를 각 나라의 역사인양
변형부각시킨 것에 불과하다.
유럽(서세)이 17세기 소위 대항해시대 이후
전세계를 주도한 것처럼 위작시키고
역사의 거대한 주체였던 조선 고려 신라(삼한)를
조선(한)반도로 국한시켜 놓았다.
이런 가짜 세계사 위에 텅빈 역사주체세력 자리를
그들이 차지한 것이다.
이에 우리 대조선삼한역사학회는 서세들이 만든
가짜 세계사를 간파하고 지구상 모든 역사를 제자리로
돌려 놓으려는 거대한 역사운동으로 "대조선삼한 역사학"을 펼친다.
방대한 노력과 자금과 석학들을 필요로 합니다!!
우리학회는 모든 힘을 총동원하여 하늘에서 부여한 임무를 완수하려 합니다.
