It was supposed to accompany images of a hunter waiting for his prey, shooting and the falling animal.

Unfortunately, I did not have those images to work with so I really did not have any clue as to the flow of the film (actually, the producers don't know either as they haven't even put it together yet)

Comments?

It worked for me and describes the picture you wanted to acheive.
To me it had quite a dramatic and dark, almost foreboding and intense sense of suspense ( queue images of man hunting man) ... so maybe this was too much for a fishing/hunting show?

Who knows what lurks in the producers minds, it was definitely a well produced piece of picture music.

Thanks, mate. You're right, it was a little too dramatic. The producer sent me a couple of pieces to base my composition on and they wound up sounding like Tangerine Dream in Kindergarden, boring little sequences over a sustained bass pad. So that's what I did and I just received a call that they loved it. Go figure...

Good to hear the follow up story. And glad they liked what you did in the end... bloody hard to do I imagine, so well done.

Damn, Paul.. TV gets more and more stupid,or?
Anyway, they should get what they want.

What are you doing with this nice track now?

Sharing it with you guys!

Seriously, I always keep the rejected stuff because it may become "useable" someday. Besides, it can be put on a demo CD for future submissions to new jobs.

Hey!

I actually noticed this one before you told me about it!

I'm kinda surprised of the type of music they've asked for though. Somehow, I would have imagined something closer to Country for this type of show.

Anyway, this one seems to fit perfectly with the theme you described.

Cool stuff Paul!
