Just Music

Cowboys.
Every bar fight scene that ever was. For any filmakers/animators/students. Feel free to use this track if you want to do visuals to it. It might be handy for animation students as its 1 minute long and may be suitable for one of your assignments. But please let me know and be prepared to send me a copy. _oh particularly if your name is Speilberg, Burton, etc -ha ha.
Train Stations.
This was inspired by the late night call of the squealing tracks that moan in the middle of the night that I hear from my bedroom. Especially on the anniversaries of deaths of rail workers...whoooooo!
Arthur H comedy show.
This one I did for a role playing game where the players were all supposed to be actors during the late 1940s.
Dawn of Battle.
I just did this one day, and I'm not too excited about it, in fact I'll probably take it off someday.
Technical Work.
Made for a scene in a film when the criminologist is looking at an eyelash through a spectrographic cardiod phase locked cathode retarder or something.
Celtic Boy -The Conversation.
This was set in a church and so I used a lot of reverb on the pizzicato strings to give the piece a place within the diegesis. The conversation becomes more emotionally charges as the boy makes a point no-one else thought of. Now how many times does that happen in movies?!
The Robbery The heist and getaway bit from "The Robbery."
I severely chopped this one down to size as you would be listening to the first ostinato bass notes forever otherwise. When I watch a film I know when the composer is enjoying himself just accenting things randomly to maintain the motion of the piece. The majority of this is just cops watching a robbery and then coming after the robbers presumably to teach them not to rob.
