BlindººCoyote (Drem Bruinsma)'s Lounge Discussions

Hi. Where is a good website to source music (at a decent price) for a short film that I am hoping to sell to a distributor?

That day you still remember. You were in the studio mounting a new piece of furniture you had been waiting for for months. You wanted to re-organise your work set-up, reconnecting all equipment in a more ergonomical way to improve your workflow. You tightened the last screws and crawled from underneath, when a sudden sharp pain cut through your lower back. Did I force myself, did I make a wrong move, you think. No, I was careful, I did not.

The pain did not go away, and became your everyday unwanted partner. You went to the doctor, got prescription drugs. You went to the hospital, got some tests. Months go by, pain gets fierce. In the middle of the night you are standing in the emergency room and a Peruvian doctor on duty does not trust what she sees and tells you to stay. And then you are sucked into a turmoil of events, all triggered to get to a conclusive diagnosis, while big bags of liquids drip into your veins, and your hospital bed is your new world order and you are attended by doctors and nurses day and night and there is nothing left of your previous life. And when they break the bad news you actually already knew it: that is wasn't anything muscular, that it wasn't kidney stone attacks, but the effects of a metastasis in your lower vertebrae, coming from a tumor in your left lung, all the way down and very rare.

Pain management is priority before treatment so you submit to radiation and get very sick from everything. That hospital bed you live in is being rolled out to do all kinds of scans and you undergo everything in a kind of serene state of mind.

There. At night you do a lot of thinking. Is this final? Will I ever get back to composing and music production? Will I fade slowly in a country still foreign to me, without close friends or family? One thing is clear as water. There is no room for anything else but an intense treatment program, spanning half a year to begin with.

Everything on hold. Lots of mail and junkmail become even more irrelevant. You despise the stupidies on Facebook even more. You try not to blame anybody, or yourself. You know that your life as you know it has ended. You want to be left alone, submerge for a long time, and come out the other end full of strength and inspired, ready to write a new chapter. You know in order to get there you have to be sick, you have to vomit, spending countless nights in cold sweat and soaking wet sheets, you have to take so much medication that your appetite has reduced to nil, your nose has become sensitive to foul smells. The world you see is hostile and ugly.

But this is the unexpected visitor who you didn't want to put up with, who is obstinate and settles in. You'll work him out the door in due time. Working on a plan.

Hi, I thought it would be nice to share an article that appeared in a music blog called Synthspotting, in which I talk about the gear I am using in three highlighted compositions, and also my approach to starting a project: https://www.facebook.com/synthspotting/posts/394867314292916

We're looking to add more composers from around the globe to join our talented team for scoring of a live action science fiction television series and audio series. You can check it out at www.intergalacticspacerangers.com - We're looking for creativity and diversity of styles as we will be addressing many different alien environments in these two series. The television series "Inter Galactic Space Rangers" is a 50's style live action sci fi series in development and our audio series "Doorways & Dimensions" which is basically Twilight Zone meets Tales from the Crypt, is being produced right now and we will be launching our first episode November 30th. If you're interested in joining up let me know. Thanks!

I pulled this theme from the early 1990's into the present day with a total overhaul. It could well serve as an end-title theme for the movies. The overall feeling you get is that this one tells you of a lot of things lived, experienced and seen, all condensed in a musical goodbye. Epic, melancholical, yet with total awareness and clarity. https://blindcoyote.bandcamp.com/track/seven-sorrows

The project of putting this rescued and remastered obscure1983 album out on vinyl in 2013 fell through, but in order to complete the full back catalogue it is now published in digital and downloadable format.

I am Vinsent Mettel - director from Kiev, Ukraine. I have three projects right now. Two which are included in the Cannes & Venice 2014 program from Ukraine, and one which I finished shooting yesterday, which is presubmited for the international film fest here in Kiev. I wish to connect some great composer to give my movies additional atmosphere. Thank you for reading. Respectfully Yours, Vinsent Mettel.

Why is it so difficult for directors who are looking for a musical score to say "thank you, but that is not what I am looking for", after you sent them a link or two together with a brief description of your work? I can see in my private statistics page that proposed tracks have been listened to through stage32 embeds. The least I expect is a little respect, but maybe the roads are paved with hungry composers...
