New Before/After Media Series Installment!

Tweex Music is FINALLY back this week with a new Before/After installment for you!  There have been a few project in the last few weeks that has had the studio going full speed.  I’m looking forward to presenting it all soon!

In the meantime, T|M brings you a great Before/After example coming from the “Dawg Talk” project that Tweex Music worked on.  When T|M signed on with the production, the theme song was the concentration.  After talking with the director of the project, we decided that we wanted something simple, but also something that sounded like a marching band.  We went through a lot of different ideas, but the melody concept we finally found came from a simple piano recording.  From there, the production took form.  Listen to the Before/After here:

As you can hear, the two sound very VERY different.  They even convey different tones/feelings.  There aren’t many directors out there who have the ability to imagine what something like this would sound like with just a piano representation, but John Kundert-Gibbs is one of those.  The final product came out splendidly and the evolution of the piece is nothing short of monumental!

Be sure to check back VERY soon.  A couple new projects are about to be released and you will not want to miss them!

Tweex Music Introduces New “Before/After” Series for Media!

This week, Tweex Music is proud to introduce a new media series entitled “Before/After”.  As the name implies, it will showcase pieces of work both before completion, and after completion.  Many times, clients will ask what a composer/programmer is capable of and in many cases, they want to hear the beginning sound in comparison to the final product.  This ongoing series will highlight work from the T|M database to help anyone see what Tweex Music is truly capable of.

In this installment, T|M brings you two different pieces of music.  First is a Hip Hop/R&B piece written by Greg Fairbanks entitled “Red Wine Concubine.”  The original track that Greg provided utilized only a couple sounds which repeated continually through out the piece.  There were no dynamic shifts and the instrumentation became increasingly repetitive!  After some work, Tweex Music created a new electro synth hip-hop feel for the piece, bringing life and uniqueness to the track.

The second track comes from a recent movie trailer that T|M co-scored in association with Hummingbird Productions.  The piece was modeled after a track Steve Jablonsky scored for the film “The Island.” The first part of the Before/After piece is the file that Hummingbird gave to T|M.  It has an incredibly intense midi-esque sound to it that plagues the overall quality.  After a little work, Tweex Music turned the piece into a glorious fanfare with full orchestra and choir.

That wraps up the first installment in the Before/After series.  Be sure to check back often as new installments will be added!  Also check back soon for new T|M updates.  In the meantime, Happy Thanksgiving!
