MAIDEN VOYAGE (2016) is music in search of a film. At the beginning of this overture for orchestra, a murky, nocturnal soundscape is interrupted by duel music, channeling the great swashbucklers of old with frenetic intensity. While the angst and tension soon ease up, the propulsiveness continues, with the music sailing forward at full mast. Eventually we break gravity and ascend over ever warmer waters, leading us to a resplendent climax and a bold, dramatic finish.

Loved the violins slide!

[@OfficialWorldChampion]

better than all the overly-lyrical musescore compositions out there on youtube

[@JulesPegramComposer]

Thanks for listening! 😊

[@soundtreks]

Well he had a real orchestra in this case. MuseScore doesn’t do well with this kind of writing.

Hello! Really enjoy the music. My brother and I are trying to become film composers and where wondering what type of things you have done in the past to become this good. How do you study? What is your thought process when you start a new piece? Again, we love the score!

Hey guys - thanks for your kind words about the music!
I have always taken score study very seriously and love doing it. Thankfully UA-cam has made things much more available for everyone. In fact, you may even find yourself listening more than you write (I think often of the fact that Toni Morrison was a prolific editor before her own first novel was published; she read several novels a week for years).
Just as important is to attend as many rehearsals as you can; these are far more useful than concerts because we can learn how a piece is truly assembled. Some voicings & orchestrations sound great initially whereas others take several passes to gel or are over-/under-orchestrated (it's usually over-).
If film scoring is the road you pursue, then studying the craft of filmmaking is essential. This means watching as many movies/TV series as you can and analyzing them just as richly as we do music. Interviews with filmmakers, attending festivals and screenings, studying up on the latest technology - these are all critical to a media composer.
This may also be of some use. A couple years back I was asked in an interview to share some nuggets of advice to aspiring composers. Here's what I said: "Listen just as much as you write. Be a lifelong student of history. Be wide-eyed and present, aware of the latest trends and the current innovators. Never compromise your vision for what others think you should write. Never stop honing your craft. Actively avoid artistic dogma. Cherish the process. Develop a thick skin. Protect your brand. Do honest work."
