T|M Programs Orchestral Music for Journey to Everest Film Trailer

A new documentary film from the good folks over at Epiphany Productions has been released.  The movie is called “Journey to Everest” and is the story of six Americans who set out to trek up a portion of Everest!  The film was created and directed by a talented guy named David Kiern who is in the process of releasing several new films and features.

The music for the film was composed by Bob Farnsworth, President and Creative Director of Hummingbird Productions in Nashville, and the programming was done by Larry Hall.  The music has a very strong John Williams vibe throughout, but it also contains ethnic and cultural elements.  The movie is about 70 minutes long and features original music throughout!  The film itself can be purchased at the MOVIE HOMEPAGE and is definitely a good watch.

T|M was brought on to program some of the orchestral music for the theatrical trailer.  Most of the music can be found in the film itself, but the last musical cue (last minute of the trailer) was composed specifically for the teaser.  The piece was actually fashioned from a temp track that the director had placed.  The piece came from the movie “The Island” which was composed by Steve Jablonsky.  Tweex Music, in association with Hummingbird Productions, wrote and programmed the final piece.  Of all the music in the trailer, the last minute is easily the climax!  T|M was able to use the new addition to his studio (EWQL Symphonic Choirs) for the track.

As always, the trailer can be found on the SFX DESIGN page.  If you enjoyed the trailer, be sure to check out the complete film; it will be time well spent.  Be sure to check back here at Tweex Music for new updates and more exciting news!

New Software Additions to the Tweex Music Studio

Tweex Music has recently added to its list of software samples and virtual instruments.  The two new packages that will be apart of the T|M studio are Quantum Leap SILK and EWQL Symphonic Choirs.  Each package contains state of the art software allowing the user to emulate its given sample selection.  The packages are coming from the good folks over at Sounds Online, the creators/distributors of the enormously popular sample collection, EWQL Symphonic Orchestra (the very sample package that Tweex Music makes use of).

SILK is a package that contains samples from all areas of Asia.  From the Chinese Ehru, to the Indian Tanpura, and even the 30 piece Persian bowed string section, all of these, plus many many others, have been masterfully sampled for anyone’s use.  The samples where performed by the world’s leading virtuosos of each instrument and they were recorded and captured using state of the art equipment.  Be sure to check out some of their DEMOS.

EWQL Symphonic Choirs is a sample package dedicated for the use of full male, female, and boys choirs!  The package contains hundreds, if not thousands, of articulations within the human voice.  With the aid of Word Builder, programmers can even have the choirs sing entire phrases!  The quality of the samples is unmatched today and this package is WIDELY used by the programmers on the market now.  As with SILK, check out some of the DEMOS.

Tweex Music has several projects that will be making use of these two pieces of software.  By taking the Tweex Music quality and combining it with fantastic software from Sounds Online, you are sure to be impressed with the up and coming work.  Don’t miss out on future updates debuting these amazing packages!
