I first came across this title from an old website called Badmovies.org or bmovies.org and some of the screenshots peaked my interest so I immediately tried to rent it from Jumbo Video....the clerk kept insisting I was talking about Robot Jox but I said it was called Crash and Burn.

Little did I know there's a bit of a trilogy of these giant mech warrior type flicks. Robot Jox, Crash And Burn and Robot Wars and I think there was one that was made outside of the Full Moon system called Robo Warriors.

In any case Richard Band provided his signature scoring for these flicks (after all they were his brother Charles' projects). While you might expect them to be thunderous and heavy handed, it's actually quite subtle and dreamlike.

For this cover it's 100% of the Prophet X handling all of the orchestral sounds, trumpet, strings, percussion and I also included a Roland S-50 "Air" style choir and some delay covered, harp-like Prophet VS bells and arpeggios underneath to give a fantasy type element to the music.

It's a quick one but I hope you enjoy!

Great Tympani Crescendo.  Very well played.  Sounded just like a old movie song.  Not long and boring enough for me though,  like my own thing here I just made at 4:00 this morning.  Shorter than usual at only 14 minutes after the computer seemed to stagger under the weight of everything and popped off in time to save you the rest of what might have been an hour.  I blame a few recent plugins I had added to my template (several instances of a Lex Verb I had put on drum tracks). 

I guess my next thing whatever it may be, won't have such reverby drums. 

anyhoo here it is, I've uploaded it to YoooToob this time just some Prophet 10 mostly with a little System 1m and arp 2600, a bit of iPhone Model D and maybe a note or two of some refaces:

This exhibits some of the more traditional waveforms of the 3rd Wave synth.  The main patch sounds a bit like a hammered dulcimer I thought, so I built around that realm.  The subtle voicey-choir is my voice  put into the the wave shape maker.  The fiddle is also gathered from a violin recording via the wave shape maker. I do the pitch slides using the Linn Instrument. Percussion is acoustic.

Thanks! I essentially just played 32 notes into Digital Performer for a single bar and then copied over and over until I reached the right part. Highlighted everything and and added a smooth velocity curve from 1 to 128. The sound is a timpani from the Emulator 2 or Proteus if I recall correctly and I just put the PX is velocity mode on both the filter and amp.

Before his career really took off, Christopher Young had worked with fellow UCLA students Stephen Carpenter and Jeffery Obrow to score some of their films, The Power and also The Dorm That Dripped Blood (aka Pranks).

While most low budget, student fair around this time would have defaulted to synthesizers due to budget constraints, Young insisted on scoring with a real orchestra. He went for a Bernard Herrmann for The Dorm That Dripped Blood while his sweeping Saint-Saëns type approach to the main theme of The Power is directly inspired by Jerry Goldsmith, whom Young was a huge fan of. In fact one of the cues of the score is "Jerry's Gold Myth" lol.

This isn't a direct one to one cover but certainly inspired by the dream-like hypnotic main theme.

The Prophet X is handling everything from the strings, low brass, bells and acoustic piano. There's also some additional timpani rolls and relentless cymbal and gong rolls to add to the mystical atmosphere.

Hope you enjoy!

Bruno Nicolai’s score for All the Colors of the Dark is one of the most distinctive soundscapes in the giallo genre. It's an unsettling blend of psychedelic experimentation, ritualistic percussion, and eerie vocal textures. it’s ritual filtered through a psychedelic rock lens.

While the chanting and percussion give it that ceremonial, almost pagan atmosphere, Nicolai layers in fuzz guitar, electric bass, and distorted organ in a way that feels closer to underground 70s psych or proto-prog than traditional film scoring. The drums are key too as they’re not orchestral percussion, they’re rock drums, and that changes the entire feel as they play alongside the tribal percussion.

It seemed around this time a lot of composers were incorporating more rock elements into their work as oppose to remaining strictly traditional. Perhaps they felt the new sound on the charts unique and a fresh texture to add to their pallet.

For this cover the sitar, fuzz guitar, piano, electric bass, choir, organ, tribal percussion, and eerie vocals are all from the Prophet X while the Tempest provides a steady rock beat.

I tried to incorporate some bizarre techniques such as altering the fine tuning of a piano in real time to add a strange LSD trip type effect.

I hope you enjoy! I'm quite proud of this one.

It may come as a surprise but my favorite soundtrack work didn't actually come from the 80s/90s or even 70s. My favorite composers and scores actually came from my favorite era of horror/sci fi (the 50s/60s). Albert Glasser, Les Baxter, Ronald Stein, Paul Sawtell, Van Cleave etc

I had done work like this previously but I want to get into this more. I decided to do a quick sketch of an original piece in this style.

No direct influence but it sort of feels like a combination of Van Cleave's lumbering Colossus Of New York score and Albert Glasser's Giant From The Unknown score.

Grand piano, brass ensemble, wild woodwind trills, crushing timpani and piatti. I also added a faux Theremin as a nod to it's frequent use in sci fi monster flicks.

Everything is run through a guitar amp simulator to add color to the mix. Almost like a small ensemble recorded on cheap tape and the optical track is spiking.

I hope you enjoy and I hope to continue some more pieces in this style.

Admittedly,  I only saw Cry_Wolf once around the time it came out and remember nothing of it. LOL

That being said, when I was listening to some soundtracks the other day I came across Michael Wandmacher's theme for the film and it's pretty good. I didn't want to do a  1 to 1 cover but I certainly used the melody and other elements in this. I wanted to see if I could tackle a horror score that was that early 2000s type of vibe which often had electronic elements, rock elements and orchestral elements all fused together.

The Tempest is doing a a bizarre sounding "reversed" beat running through the tuned feedback circuit. This is a stock beat that actually gives a sense of unease.

The Prophet X is handling the synth arpeggios, piano, strings, electric bass, distorted guitar and tom ensemble drums.

I actually think the piece turned out fairly well. Hope you enjoy!

The softer side of OB6 and Pro 2 working in tandem makes a little chill piece of piano, squishy notes and smooth pads.  As you get into the glade, the resonant birds of the Pro 2 start to sing.

It's been a while since I posted and there's a good reason for that. I just finished my next feature score for Dial 1 800 4 Murd3r by Astra United. For that score, I wanted to go with a more guitar focused/rock centric type of piece. Unfortunately I sold all of my guitars a while back (a poor decision) and realized I needed something fast.

I asked a few friends and my buddy Andrew from Vinegar Syndrome lent me his Ibanez RG for a month. This allowed me to get some great tones as well as some floating tremolo divebombs

I not only managed to get the soundtrack completed but I also wanted to do a few pieces for myself (mostly covers) but it was just nice being able to have a guitar in my hands again. I can't thank Andrew enough!

One of the inspirations for the Dial soundtrack was Simon Boswell's rock oriented scores for a lot of late 80s Italian horror flicks. One such flick he did was for Lamberto Bava's Demons 2. After speaking with Simon he mentioned he mostly used Casio CZ synthesizers and some samplers (likely an Emulator and SP-12 drum machine) all being sequenced by a Commodore 64!

For this cover the Prophet X is handling the choir, cymbal crashes, drums, strings and DX7 bass while the Ibanez RG is handling all of the guitar parts.

One of my favorite pieces of gear is the Roger Linn Adrenalinn iii pedal and after some configuration with my Soundcraft, I now have it set up as a send effect so I can essentially record my guitar completely dry into Digital Performer and send out that audio to the Adrenalinn to be processed by Roger's wonderful and creative presets. This also works well for other dry signals like the Tempest (which I'll showcase in another clip). Doing this really opened by eyes to the fact I can just have chunks of audio inside my sequence that I can loop or structure alongside my MIDI information. It's such an obvious technique that I wish I thought of attempting it before as opposed to trying to play the entire song from start to finish.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy.

Given that the fantastic Grindhouse Releasing just announced a new 4K restoration of the definitive, never before seen cut of this legendary film, I figure now would be the best time to drop this.

Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust is a polarizing masterpiece that is thoughtful, beautiful, grotesque and depressing. It's one of the films that I adore yet revisit very selectively.

One of the most gorgeous aspects of the film is Riz Ortolani's score which, like the visuals, alternates between peaceful serenity and barbaric cruelty.

The Sequential Prophet X is doing everything here. The bass guitar, acoustic guitar, electric piano and drums. I wanted to go for a more lo-fi, chilled rendition. Perfect for the upcoming Summer afternoons, relaxing amongst nature.

I wonder who the real cannibals are.

Hey all...

A brand new thang... this features beautiful vocals from Indian singer Kinkini Deb.

Of course we only care about synths, so... Trigon, Prophet 6 and Micromoog are the guys here. Piano is Pianoteq, and my Casiotone 201 is in across most of the track. Drums are a combination of Digitakt, real drums and... me banging on a metal shelf!

The bass tracks are curious. Bit of fretless bass from Andy Metcalfe, but the main bass is my Jazz Bass run through a semi-pro TEAC cassette deck. I'm overdriving the input and using the cute, built-in karaoke echo. Makes it sound like an upright, oddly.

Hope you enjoy!

Well, yes, always Trigon :-D ... but it's more your voice, that always reminds me of the singer of Styx. I think I said that some years ago. I A/B-ed you with some Styx songs this time... and well, if you told me, you sang for Styx decades ago, I would believe it  But perhaps that are just my ears...

You know, I did try to extend the ending, moving the song up a whole step, but things got technically messy… things weren’t landing on the beat etc, and I gave up! But also both Andy’s fretless bass and Kinkini’s vocals wrap up where they do and extending theyr parts wouldn’t have been true to their intentions. I did try, though!!

I’m not a huge Styx fan, but I dud listen to them as a teen because they used synths! But when I started out, my singing wasn’t strong and it was more the new wave guys like Gary Numan and Devo that I was copying.

Funny, though… sometimes on tour I’ll tell an audience I was in this or that famous band. I’ve convinced audiences I was in the Eagles and in ABBA!

David Michael Frank is one of those film composers who never really became a household name but if you're a fan of 80s and 90s action movies, you've almost certainly heard his work. Films like Hero and the Terror, Showdown in Little Tokyo and One Man Force all featured his blend of orchestral writing and cutting-edge electronic sounds.

One Man Force is a pretty standard late-80s vigilante action flick starring former NFL player John Matuszak, but the soundtrack is fantastic. Frank was working during the era when the Synclavier was king, and a lot of his scores from this period have that big, punchy digital sound that defined action movies of the time. The combination of sampled percussion, FM synthesis and orchestral textures gives the score a lot of energy and personality.

For my version, I used my friend Andrew's Ibanez RG running through a Roger Linn AdrenaLinn III using some of Roger's custom RLD amp models. The Prophet X handled pretty much everything else, including the FM bass, drums, strings and the Prophet VS-style arpeggiated bell sounds. Everything was sequenced and arranged in Digital Performer.

I think I nailed this one and quite happy with how it captures the spirit of Frank's work (I think some more tributes to him are in order).

Hope you enjoy!
