its still a very nice piece, and im sure its quite good layered in with the spoken word.

I see 3 AM far more than I'd like to and I gotta say, there is something here that is reflective of that.  Laying in bed desperately trying to fall asleep and the sounds of the night take a new feeling. Like the ways the textures you created sound like they are close to clipping, the noise just poking through the piano.  I felt it for sure, rather dig it

i love that you are still able to bring that Napear depth and texture to something like this. i mean, i suppose that's why they hired you! anyway, lovely vignette. sounds pro but with soul. also:

Still great! Fits scenes of passing landscapes perfectly.

I think it's a very relaxing and dreamy track, but hey, we're our own worst critics aren't we? Isn't it funny sometimes how we put in a ton of work on some songs and feel like maybe people don't appreciate it as much as we do, and then the inverse is true for when we put out a track that we aren't as invested in? haha. Anyways, too bad we can't hear what the voice over would sound like, I'm sure this track complimented that project quite well.

This is lovely, I love how the more melodic parts sort of drift in and out but are never too front and center, just enough to add some movement without distracting from dialogue (I imagine). Seems like a really effectively designed piece for its purpose.

a lovely piece that I'm sure gets the job done for what they were looking for.  Giving space to the poetic bits and such.  It has a floaty drifting quality to it like I'm searching for sleeps   If I had flaming bagpipes, 3am would be more fun tho!

Thanks, that's what I was shooting for.  I got a good piece of advice from one of my profs, that said to think of scene dialog as lead instrument and write to it, rather than around it.  It's a same I can't share it.

Thanks, yeah there were some interesting artifact that are more clear in this version than when it's mixed with the dialog (the mastering was a little different between the two).  I'm a sucker for close miked piano though, and I probably use it too much.  But it always has such an "intimate" quality to it.

Thank you, though not so much hired... it's for school, so I guess really I paid them to let me score it... and so they can point out what the don't like about it... art school sounds dumb when you just say it out loud like that.  (つ≧▽≦)つ

Thank you so much. 

Yeah, I remember in an interview where Slash was talking about recording Sweet Child of Mine, and he talked about how he thought it was a throw away track... and then turned out to be their biggest hit ever... and what struck me about his response to it was he was just like "... yeah, I didn't think it was very good, but shows how much I know right?".  I always loved that.  Because, it felt like it gave me permission to be "wrong" about my own music, and made it clear that just because I don't like it doesn't mean I shouldn't put it out there... It's not really "sharing" if we do it for ourselves.   

Thanks, and yeah that was very much the goal.  This is one that I just turned of the click, and played to the monologue.

Thanks, and I'm 100% with you... it's probably for the best that I don't have any flaming bagpipes.

Hey, I think it's cool that you are composing a score for anything (school or otherwise), and this seems to fit well to the scene you described. I really like the slow oscillating waveform feel to it that is a great audio representation of the brain that can't sleep at 3am, laying there staring up at the ceiling.  Nicely done.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it.  I do love composing to picture... I mean feel like I have long appreciated the impact of music in film and games, but it was just so striking the first time I watch a whole, edited short film, with no score... how empty and soulless it felt... and how incredibly different it was with score.  It's a really magical experience.

This sounds really nice, I'm sure it worked great for the documentary!

Thanks I'm glad you liked it, it was one of the more fun parts of the project to work on... also very much in the vein what I have been doing for WB over the last few weeks, so it all just kind flowed out.  Which is alway nice. 

Well thank you... and LOL ʱªʱªʱª(ᕑᗢूᓫ∗)... Mental note: send Emily fire extinguishers... plural.
