Score to an imagined film

Last week I posted about my new sample libraries arriving, which was very exciting. Getting a new sound in your palette breathes life into your writing.

I thought I would share a work in progress that uses these new sounds. It’s called Always Her. 

Always Her is part of the score to an imagined film. This imagined film is a strange love story between two unlikely people in the middle of difficult times. This track underscores the scene where he realises that she is the one he has always wanted and needed. Their paths have become irreversibly entwined, but for the greater good of both. Throughout the narrative I imagined that they were resisting each other, not in a sexual way but in a way that implied they were two parts of the same soul. Living lives in parallel, destined to join one another.

Sequitur Aeon - Richard Pryn
This is an album of cinematic piano and string pieces that take you on an emotional and heartfelt journey. When I was writing these pieces I just let my fingers do the writing for me, it was a very natural process. I tried not to get too critical, and allowed myself to compose what felt right. There are definite hints of Philip Glass and Michael Nyman in there, never a bad thing I think. I hope you like it!

Imaginary Film

Along the lines of my last post – just letting go and enjoying the process, I thought I would make some music to an imaginary film.

As a composer for visuals this is so much fun, you can just be free and let any idea come into play. The idea for this was, what would the music be for a gnome at work? Lots of them running around very busy in their workshop, probably making sweets and toys of some kind. Lots of bright colours, lots of movement, and very quirky.

This is what I came up with. I wanted it to be fun, playful, childish and of course have lots of little percussive elements.

I would love to see some visual interpretations of this piece!
