| The 
        Ballad of Sinister (2008) | |
|    Written and Directed by Erik 
          Van Horn | 1. Main Titles / The 
          Sinister King (1:36)  | 
|   This film was my very first film scoring project. I found out about the project and when I heard the title and saw some of the concept art, I figured "This thing has gotta have some crushing metal riffs!" So I got in touch with the director and asked if he already had the music lined up - luckily he didn't! He told me to basically "have fun with it" -- and I did. ("it" at that point being the story reel) The first version I did actually had a few sections with metal riffing (the battle scenes). Erik liked a lot of what I did in that first demo, but as he wanted to keep it feeling "old" or "timeless" the electric guitar and rock drums were a liiiiitle bit too contemporary. I've since redone many cues a few times after incorporating feedback both from Erik and the rest of the crew, arriving at a completely orchestral score, strong in strings and brass, with a few main themes. It's been great fun thus far! I can't wait for the actual animation! | |
