Marius: Thanks for your comments regarding my sketch. To defend it a bit... haha... it actually was intended for a Western romantic comedy. The main female lead is Indian, but she is culturally very much American. As far as a lack of sophistication... you are quite right that I don't develop the ideas. This is mostly because I only spent a few hours on it and submitted it to the director. I wish I had more stuff to put on my website, but since I've only been a "film composer" for a few months, I don't have a lot of material to put up there. Maybe I will go back and rework it to make it more interesting.

Hey man. I'm 24. So thanks for making me feel young! I think it sounds beautiful! Is the piano sampled? What samples are you using? I can hear the Jon Brion influence in you too!

Thanks Duncan. Most of the instruments are samples from the Logic library (garage band jam packs I guess?) The strings that come in are mix between jam pack and Vienna Symphony Library. Not much of it is acoustic. Some of the percussion is (gong, tambourine, shaker) and there is some light organ and clav from my Nord Electro.

Quantize the parts or re-record them.

The director I'm working with wanted a Jon Brion(ish) theme with some Indian timbres. What do you think? The song is entitled "bug" and can be found on this page. http://alexschiffmusic.com/Listen.html

Sounds great! What sample library(s) are you using?
