Pseudoscience by Film & TV ComposerRob Manning

I like how you have used your choice of instrumentation to create dimention in the track without causing clutter. A thought provoking piece which I'm sure was on the money for the scene. Well done !

Tempest by Film & TV ComposerOlivia Dixon

Has that supernatural feel well nailed. I cant help feeling it might sound better without the drum loop though. I do like .....

Rollers and Breakers by Film & TV ComposerRodney Newton

This has that classic black and white movie sound. So nostalgic . It decribes your seascape very well, but it has so much more to offer . This is master scoring at it's best. So brilliant and very inspiring.

Oppression by Film & TV ComposerOlivia Dixon

I imagine this scene worked very well with this piece. It does not over state . Nice bitter sweet melody.

Underwater Waltz by Film & TV ComposerOlivia Dixon

This is a beautiful piece and I love the supporting textures.It has wonderful emotion and is thought provoking. Very well done.

Funny How Things Work Out by Film & TV ComposerIan Dolamore

This piece takes you on a nice journey. A great use of the sound pallet. I do agree that there are some familiar things going on at times but lets face it pizzicato is hard to use these days without that obvious comparison springing to mind. Nice work.

Egypt Tombs by Film & TV ComposerDov Waterman

Not sympothetic and mysterious enough for the brief.

Feature Comment
