See\u00a0the post\u00a0‘Far Away’ film<\/a>\u00a0(below) for more information on the actual film itself, the plot and things like that. This post is about the main theme for this film, which is heard at the beginning as Alex (the main character) is setting off on his\u00a0journey.<\/p>\n

My intention with the main theme was to\u00a0keep the motif simple and cool with the sweet melody on\u00a0classical guitar, building up at the right moment to fit in with\u00a0what’s happening on screen.\u00a0(See ‘Far Away’ film here<\/a>\u00a0that will \u00a0be available for everyone to watch\u0080\u00a6 soon). I feel I have achieved the overall sound I was hoping\u00a0for, which was to create a sad yet determined feeling to reflect Alex’s dedication to\u00a0complete the journey. The\u00a0melody is reflected\u00a0many times throughout the film, hinted across different parts both at the front of the mix and also floating in the back, in different keys, instruments, and times (it is heard in the background played at half the speed at one point). When writing music for a film such as this the music has to be coherent throughout and hearing the motif melody enhances the emotional connection with the main character (I hope). Deep stuff!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anyway, more\u00a0pieces to be uploaded in a couple of weeks time! Enjoy!<\/p>\n
