#MyStargirlScore - Spitfire Audio Competition Score by Simon Driscoll
Here is my entry to the Stargirl competition.I began this score by writing an individual theme for Stargirl, S.T.R.I.P.E, and Icicle.
For S.T.R.I.P.E I decided to write an old school hero theme and I added some junk yard percussion and synth brass sounds. The main theme is played on big brass and solo woodwinds run through a distortion unit to portray the robotic nature of his suit.
Stargirl's theme is a sweeping orchestral motif utilising the airiness of the high strings. I also added a manipulated audio recording of Kepler's Star (downloaded from NASA's website).
For Icicle I chose to play the main theme on a Glockenspiel for that cold and harsh sound. I also used a flute and piccolo that I put through a delay unit.
All that was left to do was to piece each theme together and find the balance between action, drama, and tension.
Thank you to Spitfire Audio and Pinar Toprak for this fantastic competition...I had a blast working on it!
