I will gather some facts and numbers about the process to share with you very soon. For the time being, please enjoy the music as synced to picture via this Youtube-playlist.

Ladyhawke themes and motifs
So far I have not lost many words about my alternate Ladyhawke score. Now that I’m half way through I thought I’d give you some background info on the major themes. These are the themes around which the composition is built: 1. Curse Motif. It is an abbreviated variant of the Main Theme, meant to… Continue reading Ladyhawke themes and motifs
Stranger Things Wrap-up
A few weeks ago I started composing an alternate orchestral score for some scenes from Stranger Things Season One. That’s been lots of fun, and I think I’ve learned quite a few things from this project! Now it’s over, and I’m moving on to the next project. I want to thank those of you who… Continue reading Stranger Things Wrap-up
Ladyhawke Progress
Since Christmas I’ve been busy composing an alternate score for one of my favorite films of all time: Ladyhawke (1985). I consider this project to be a valuable lesson and a great opportunity to practice, and I already realize in which areas the music comes natural and in which I kind of struggle. I’m not… Continue reading Ladyhawke Progress
The Ladyhawke Alternate Score Project Starts Now
I have decided to take on another self-imposed “alternate score challenge”, this time with a fantasy film that I enjoyed very much back in the 80’s: Ladyhawke, starring Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. I remember I found the electronic score by Alan Parsons/Andrew Powell quite off when I first watched it. An old-fashioned medieval fantasy… Continue reading The Ladyhawke Alternate Score Project Starts Now
Ladyhawke Piano Theme
During my interview on Soundtrack Alley I mentioned that I would have loved to compose music for the 1985 fantasy film Ladyhawke. That inspired me to re-watch the DVD (after many years) and after that I had a melody in my head which could be a main theme for an alternate soundtrack. Here it is… Continue reading Ladyhawke Piano Theme
Alternate Main Titles for Stranger Things
Since I’ve already composed about 10 minutes of music for my Stranger Things alternate score (a self-invoked project that started here), I thought it was time to play with the main title sequence, too, and see if I could manage to include my thematic material there. What you see/hear in the video below is my… Continue reading Alternate Main Titles for Stranger Things
Mike jumps, this time with music
I know, this looks like it’s becoming an obsession, but I have really had so much fun scoring the two Stranger Things key scenes picked by CSR’s Erik Woods that I decided to pick another one by myself. I had this scene (and the short one that follows) scored in about two hours, but it… Continue reading Mike jumps, this time with music
Stranger Things Demogorgon Finale with alternate score
As part of my personal composing challenge I composed an alternate orchestral score to key scenes from Stranger Things which were picked by Erik Woods (Cinematic Sound Radio), just to try out if and how it would affect the drama. It kind of did with the Van Chase, and I’m excited to hear what you… Continue reading Stranger Things Demogorgon Finale with alternate score
