Keep Moving - Action track

Hi people,

I recently joined the forum and I thought lets share some music.

It is a piece called Keep Moving and it is an action track written as pitch for Sony. The definate use of the piece will be defined later for a later to be announced project (and additional music will be written by then), but for now it is standalone piece which gives a good idea on what kind of music I am writing for games and films.

Keep Moving

Libraries used:

EWQL Gold XP

EWQL RA

Enjoy :)

Wow, lush world instruments on the loose! Love the abstract part with the amazing sound effects (thunder). I've have heard about Sean Beeson's library, this makes me want it even more. Make sure you keep us informed about the game, it really sounds epic. :)

I enjoyed this, it felt a lot more creative than a lot of video game music, I feel. I am glad you have synth sounds that sound that fantastic! please post more when you can! :D

Thanks Nigel (nice to see you here btw :D) and Michael!

Yeah it is amazing what is possible nowadays with synths. I have been a pen and paper composer till a year ago and I made a switch to film and game music and started to learn everything about sampling etc and a new world opened :D

I still like live music, but the music I compose now with samples is different then my live music. I try to let go the idea that everything has to be hyper-realistic and instead I am focussing now on making "a good sound".

Thats a good stand. Synthesized music isn't supposed to be a replacement when the ultimate desire is live performance. However, the intentional electronic sounds as a genre is becoming more in vogue.

I appreciate and respect all that electronics have accomplished in composition, and I intend to immerse myself in it further in a few years, but for now I still have the mantra:

Long Live Ink and Paper! ;)

Yeah ink and paper is still the best. I still have a big writing table here in my studio and I still write most of the stuff first on paper :D

I absolutely love the amounts of instruments you have in this.

The sounds that are created with this piece is amazing imo.

It reminds me of some place in Asia, by the flute probably.

I also really like the brass entrance in this piece.

Is full of win this piece is.

Just thought I'd point out.

This is one of those pieces that I add to favorites.

Major props.

Thumbs up for Jaap. Welcome to the forums, it's good to see you here. Although I've heard this piece before I wanted to express my admiration to instrument use in this piece. Especially for that distorted guitar and brass

And, by the way, did you noticed that this forum is called 'Young' composers? ;-)

Cheers,

Great stuff as usual JAAP = WIN
