‘The Penny’ Scoring Nearing End

‘The Penny’ Scoring Nearing End

Scoring for ‘The Penny’ has been going well and is actually nearing the end. It has been an incredible experience working with Nathan Webster and the crew at Filmweavers adding a musical signature to the feature film. Crafting the soundscape of the score was an absolute delight as I love this type of score. It combines progressive elements of a modern score together with a definite orchestral touch.

Filmweavers is currently readying the release of the official website for the movie, which will include a new trailer containing themes from the film score.

While working through the scoring project, it became apparent early on that relying on a traditional orchestral sound was not enough to give the film a unique musical signature. This meant that a number of sound libraries had to be utilized to push the score beyond the limits of a ’standard’ score. I am pleased with the outcome and can’t wait watching the film in its completed form.

Here is a screenshot of a typical setup for one of the cues in the film:

    Logic – It’s a love-hate relationship. :-)

    The new trailer for ‘The Penny’ should be out soon. It contains a couple of cues from the score. They are obviously reworked to fit the trailer, but it should give you an idea of the musical signature of the film’s score.
