Alan J Moore's Film Music Chat

Here’s a great blog that looks at film soundtracks.

Loads of quality information and links if you’re into movie music: SoundtrackGeek

I’ve just read an interesting article on Rob Paterson’s blog, entitled ‘There Are Two Types Of Composers‘.

This got me thinking about my own work as a composer.  I definitely fall into the ‘write it, forget about it’ category.  Don’t know why, but composing for moving pictures is such a rushed occupation and I always feel pleased to finally finish a composition.

Move on!

Are you a composer?

How much revision do you undertake?

Do you ever revisit your masterpieces and make them better?

Let me know your thoughts and to read Rob’s article, click here: There Are Two Types Of Composers

So, you want to compose music for a living?

Are you insane?

Well, maybe not, but it is very difficult when you’re working a 9-5 job and looking after the kids, etc.

It is hard, but you’re not alone… here’s an interesting blog post about the difficulties of composing whilst trying to stay alive

Juggling Composition Time

Hope it strikes a chord (sorry!).

Welcome to my small corner of the internet where I shall be discussing all things related to writing music to picture: film, television, games, websites and anything else that moves!

I hope to make this a place for fellow film and TV composers to hang out and discuss composition and marketing/promotion techniques.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to make a post on the blog.

If you’d like to hear my film composition work, head on over to http://www.alanjmoore.com.

Why am I doing this?  Well, it all began with a great bunch of composers and teachers who got me started on this media music adventure.  If you need some guidance with your writing, visit http://www.musicforthemedia.co.uk and check out their great range of courses.

Speak soon.
