Reclamation

Yesterday I finished scoring the final episode of the mini-series Dark Frontier: Operation Deliverance.

This final score was my first entirely orchestral underscore of the series and included cues and motifs heard in previous episodes whilst ending musically like the shows' main theme, for a sense of closure.

I always strive for a better score than my last one, but "Reclamation" was tough to write for because it's the finale, and the conclusion to the whole series, and I felt a strong pressure to deliver the best score yet!

There's quite a lot of dialogue but there were a few moments during the CGI sequences where I could really go to town with the orchestra and write some exciting passages of music.

I really enjoyed working on this web series, each episode had a unique feel to it which allowed me to write a unique score each time. I got a lot of experience in orchestration and writing to picture from scoring this series. When I watch and listen back to earlier Dark Frontier episodes I see how far I've come in such a short space of time and how the more experience I get under my belt, the more I evolve as a composer!

I will be writing the main theme for, and scoring Dark Frontier: The Original Series later in the year, where I will be departing from the orchestral sound that has accompanied my previous work with Triple-Fiction Productions. I'm taking a new musical direction that will be percussive, electronic and industrial in style!

Here's a short teaser:
