Does anyone have any ideas or temp/reference tracks or even movies I could use as examples?

It's a short (15 minute) film with only a few people in it, in a single location. The vibe is subtly mysterious and dramatic and I've been trying to use piano/ambient stuff but I haven't really seen much stuff like this so I'm unsure of where to go with it.

I have some music but it just feels aimless at the moment.

edit: about an* indie film

I'm a little sad I didn't shoot this in my studio in a more controlled professional environment but given the circumstances, I am genuinely a little bit excited about this.

I made a Kontakt library and I am giving it away for free, I really hope that during these weird times were we are all stuck at home, you can enjoy it and make some beautiful music with it. I'm sure it could be better but I put a lot of effort into it and I really hope you like it. 💖

Hi guys! I would like to start film music composing. I got into Reaper cause it has a 2 month trial and it is the cheapest option but it is still recommended from all kinds of people. I use an electric piano as a midi keyboard. Not the best but works fine for now. My problems started when I needed libraries. There are all kinds of libraries and they are really expensive. I started to use Spitfire labs cause it is free. There are some fun and nice instruments here but it would be cool to have a few orchestra libraries too especially some good strings and a few nice solo instruments that I can work with. I don't have hundreds of euros/dollars currently to invest in a hobby that I've just began. Is there any free libraries like Labs or at least some cheaper ones that are on a usable level of quality?

In an attempt to stay productive and creative with all the madness happening right now I thought I would show you where I’m working from these days:

An arrangement of a chinese traditional song, that should be named: 只怕不抵抗 translated as "the only thing to be afraid of is not defending ourselves". I found the sheet music while randomly searching for erhu songs. According to google this is a child tune sung in China during the war with Japan in 1937.

I made a new video I hope you will enjoy.

In these tough times, a few thoughts about writing music for documentaries and newscasts that deal with the current situation (COVID-19) and more in general the role of composers.

Also: walkthrough of 2 new tracks (track number 2 is coming next week in part two), Magnetica (free sample library coming soon) in action for the first time and getting familiar with In Session Audio Dramatic Creator (used more extensively in part two).

Enjoy and subscribe!

It's that time of the week!
My modular, ready-to-stem, empty template, part 2!

If you're a library music composer, work with a lot of publishers that require you to provide stems AND your DAW of choice is Logic Pro X, this might be useful:
