Create A "slide" Effect In Concert Band
Max Castillo replied to miatthas's topic in Advice and Techniques
It's just a half-tone glissando. I know horns can do it, clarinets can, and probably trumpets as well. Not all brass players might know how exactly though... -
Writing For Natural (And Valved) Horn Is Pure Torture
Max Castillo replied to mudbucket's topic in Composers' Headquarters
Do yourself a favor and write for modern horn. You'll grow out of your obsession with natural horns eventually. -
Writing For Natural (And Valved) Horn Is Pure Torture
Max Castillo replied to mudbucket's topic in Composers' Headquarters
Hipsters. OP, does anyone actually perform your work (except Finale)? -
Why did you write a score? You must have a lot of time on your hands. :D But good job. Here's mine: http://www.hanszimmerwantsyou.com/tracks/1970

Who In Your Opinion Is The Greatest Living Composer?
Max Castillo replied to luderart's topic in Repertoire
ITT: composers I've never heard about. -
I'm sure you know I'm perfectly aware of both Herrmann's and Williams' places in film music history. Yes, where I live, there are a lot of older composers who've lived most of their lives behind the Iron Curtain and obviously aren't too familiar with American culture. But since the fall of the USSR we've had more and more cultural influence from the West and now plenty of young people are into film music. The older generation is more familiar with Soviet film music. I've heard a lot of it and I can tell you that apart from just a few gems, it was way behind its Western counterparts. And from what I've heard of Bollywood music I really don't expect them to have some kind of Indian John Williams over there. John Williams is one of the greatest living film composers. I don't disagree with anything you said, Chris, but by saying it in this thread you were just shitting on our parade.

Can we leave this scraggy out at least on his birthday.

Congratulations, you have invented counterpoint! I don't see how you can call this your own technique and even say it's "groundbreaking". Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Max Castillo replied to Max Castillo's topic in Selected Works
Thanks... To everyone who wants to hear more, I have something in Game and Film Music and will keep posting more in that subforum. -
Yes I know how to do that. No it doesn't work. Old picture remains.

Can't you comment without a score?

This is not the 20th century. And I don't want the woodwinds to be too noticeable. Their job is to sweeten the strings up just a bit.
-
Thanks. It has woodwinds in 1's. They're mostly doubling the strings.

This is something I mostly wrote on spring break. Finals have been keeping me away from finishing it. Everything is done with my virtual orchestra. Revelations

Thanks, this was just for regular composition class. We don't have movie composition class here, not yet at least. -

Adagio [Temporary name] [Real recording]
Max Castillo replied to Max Castillo's topic in Selected Works
You mean that weird whine? It wasn't intentional, sounds like some frequency spike in the violas. -

It's all about style. Maybe I should have posted it in Incidental instead. -
Adagio [Temporary name] [Real recording]
Max Castillo replied to Max Castillo's topic in Selected Works
It's a variation on a theme (or motif) I wrote earlier. The PDF starts from this variation. Don't mind the extra few measures from the previous variation. -

that's nice but why are you telling Tokkemon this when I'm the author -
Why would you favorite a woman's work. My favorite female work is beef sandwich. But seriously, I don't think it's such a big deal.
