Making music for TV shows

- Composing soundtracks for Scandinavian crime dramas and "Nordic Noir" TV shows like Wallander, The Bridge, Bron.
We will use just a single VST plugin U-HE DIVA with a sound library NORDSUND made by my favourite sound designer The Unfinished (Matt Bowdler).
This guy knows his stuff, having done the sound design for seasons of The Bridge as well as collaborating on Hollywood movies with the likes of Hans Zimmer.

I've been a graphic designer for press, web, video, signage for 40+ years. You have to have a thick skin to take the continual criticism of not quite hitting the mark that pleases your client. Pleasing the client is how you sell design work, even when I think it is not good advertising. Some of the work I have done I wouldn't admit to because the client wanted a change that I thought was horrendous. As a musician I don't want anything to do with the film industry, too much like graphic design. I would guess film scoring to be much like my business. For some rare moments in the film the music is out front and leading the film, but most the time the music is supporting the film. Music without pleasing clients is the most freedom I have ever had in life, a precious freedom I cherish.
Interesting, but I know you could do a much better Soundtrack job on the Genos2! I am thinking this is worth a comparison. Anyone else want to hear it?
Commendable effort. Very good patches.
I’ve bought quite a few albums with movie soundtracks. My favorites are The Rock by Hans Zimmer, Under Siege by Gary Chang, and Bill Brown’s soundtrack for the Rainbow Six video-games. Extremely creative music that lives on independently from the movie.
Also, Paul Hertzog’s music for a couple of movies with JCVD, like Bloodsport, and The Big Blue by Eric Serra are guilty pleasures. 😊
John Carpenter like. Love it ❤
Just thought I’d come and repeat what I said in the chat last night. I thought you did a really great job!
Little EP for your Bandcamp?
yeah, i should polish and do some full versions! but probably never get around to it :) already onto the next new project...
@@WoodyPianoShack You absolutely should.
nice job Woody, somewhat "Tangerine Dream"esque... ❤👍😎
Not only Tangerine Dream, but also another German group: Kraftwerk (Autobahn, TEE)!
Ever tried playing piano live over a silent film soundtrack like they used to do in the movie theaters for old silent films? A lost art?
never done it, but have always been tempted to do. the folks that used to do that, on the fly as they watched the movie had some astonishing skills.
Put Omnisphere to the test, for composing film soundtrack, i'm shure Omnisphere will win all known competitions,😃❤️👌🏻
That's why Hollywood is using Omnisphere.

Hi Woody - how about a follow-up video where you use these sounds within a DAW and synchronise to video? Challenges including time-stretching, how to deal with dialogue, recurring motifs etc - could be a whole series! Best wishes.
that would be very interesting indeed... a couple of challenges though, where to get the copyright-free footage, and that's a lot of work to do for just an exercise, without it ever getting used for real!
@@WoodyPianoShack You live in a nice part of the world - perhaps shoot some contrasting footage (gentle pan shots/handheld running sequence/approaching car etc) - would get over the copyright issue. Take your point re investment of time:gain though. You’d probably get a lot of views.
@@strongchord4384 well this video flopped so not sure I would want to create a film, a soundtrack and a video all about it, just for that to fail as well! but i do appreciate the suggestion and it has occurred to me before.
The audio effect specialist adds more sounds later. So it all comes together with the speech. Simple but, effective. Well done.
that's it yes, and a sprinkling of action strikes, rise & hits,
Woody Zimmer
I was amused that TH-cam was offering to translate your comment into English!

Hi Woody, congrats on getting a track used for a film, I'm interested to know which one, as I'm an Aussie. I too create small video clips with soundtracks on youtube and find that the less tracks, the better,
Cheers Nev
hello oz, i will share the info in a video at some time, so no spoilers here1
Great work, but I wouldn't say that 99% are the presets since the composition/score is what will elevate or sink the movie/series/computergame, so the ability to find the right presets as also to find the right melodies is what makes a great score composer.
yeah, that's probably true, but a lot of Matt's presets include a little arp/step sequencer, and that can be used as the hook/melody just by holding down one note
Good stuff.
Great performance, so cool.
Thanks Woody!
Kind regards up to Scandinavia (I thought, you are in the US),
Thomas
Nice presets for making things easier 🙂
By the way at 11:58 with the "missing friends" patch, you have almost played the 4 notes from Mozart's 25th symphony's intro(it could have been "b" instead of "e")👻👻👻
Nice stuff :) I saw the title 'The Bridge' and thought you were going to have a go at some Thomas Leer / Robert Rental :)
Lovely job. The next step is using the presets as a jumping off point and make your own. Also I find these packs are an awesome resource when learning how a synth works.
I say the answer is Yes! I especially like Contemplation - melodies add a lot to mood and interest, where you can fit them in.
Great job! In the past, I’ve done some work as an animator, and it is amazing what a difference it made once the music and sound effects were added.
Those are some great presets. These themes would work quite well on certain video games too (stealth espionage type of games come to mind).
If there was a show with Woody's music i would watch it! Cmon TV bosses make it happen
Well done you… good luck with your project… Steve
How about doing a video on creating synth music? How you do it.
Well done, Woody! Maybe add one or two more tracks to the songs, with a few interesting noises here and there?
Reminds me a lot of the soundtrack of the (good) series "War of the Worlds", 2019 (not the older Tom Cruise movie). Main theme is called "In Between Worlds" by David Martijn. Can be easily found here on YT.
It also has that kind of distortion in some sounds. And everything reminds me of the song "Europa Hymn" by Martin Gore.
wow, need to check that out, loved the 70s version of course! thanks for the tips.
It was so enjoyable listening to your tracks that I started playing along with them on my guitar 😊
way to go! i should make some proper length versions, these were very chopped down arrangements for the video!
@@WoodyPianoShack I have half a mind to put up some clips on insta. They were so fun to play to. Would you mind if I did that?
@@whaleguy be my guest, do what you want with them, thanks for asking
Fascinating! Another great video. loved watching The Bridge and the UK remove appropriately called The Tunnel.
yeah, i recently became aware of this spinoff, funny!
Maestro!
