Walk-Away and End Titles -- (Drywater, Mars Part 6)​

Walk-Away and End Titles (Drywater, Mars Part 6)

(initial version)

 

Every show has to have cool end-title music as the heroes walk away at the end, and continue playing under the end titles, right?  

 

From the Drywater, Mars series, also collected here in one thread.

Interesting, odd, well put together. I like the mix. I like how you bring things in and out and switch things up but it is cohesive. I like the steampunk looking skyboat thingy. Good work !

Thank you for listening!  --you're the only one so far.  

 

Odd is probably a good description of me, too, though I am poorly put together.

 

Since it is the end titles, I am trying to tie it in to the "whole show", so there are some of the different things in there that are sonic references to other parts in the Drywater, Mars series; I would like to put more in but have not yet figured out how / where.   Some of the structure of this one is directly from other parts in the series, as well, trying to make all of these tie together as if they were all pieces from the same "show". 

Some of it is unique to the end titles themselves, sonically and structurally, so it isn't just a rehash of the others. 

 

My only experience with all this is having watched lots of scifi shows, bad and good, and the "feel" of how the really good shows all have music that ties things together like this.  I considered trying to read up on what others do for this, but decided to just dive in and try it all out, and see what comes out.   More fun, less copying what everyone else already did, and this way its' "all" from my twisted broken mind.    

 

Then I figure I can learn from listener feedback and either make new versions or simply whole new tracks.  (what little there has been here and on Vi-Control has been helpful, if minimal; I can't seem to get anyone to actually have a discussion with me, vs momentary passing comments that while useful aren't as helpful as ongoing Q&A type discussions would be). 

 

This track, and the previous Not Just To Breathe With You (part 5 of DM) have directly come out of some of that feedback.   (I also have a couple of other experiements but neither of them have gone anywhere yet, and probably won't, theyre more like sonic scratchpads). 

 

 

The "skyboat" is pretty much a really rough representation of what I was trying to get; there's a better description of it in the main series thread or in my EndlessSphere studio thread, I forget which.    

 

I'd like to make individual covers for each track that show the basic idea of each one (as the first does for the main title track), but have not had time to fight with the various tools to get what I want--I've been working on the music of the series almost constantly since making the first one last month, whenever I am home and awake enough to do it, and not serving the needs of the Schmoobean.  The hard part is trying ot get the inspirations into the tracks whiel they are still in my brain and haven't leaked out somewhere else yet. 

Even more I would like to make videos for each one that show at least snippets of what would be going on for each one....but there just isn't enough time.  I have visions in my eyes for what I want...and can barely type up waht I am imagining to have a verbal storyboard...

Ambitious. I’m just curious what you would hope to get from deeper more q and a type interactions about your work vs shorter feedback critique posts typical here I think. You seem very self directed and intentional. Maybe somewhere on Reddit ?
