Hi, Tony...I emailed you just before lunch. If you will respond to that, I'll access it from my laptop. As I told you in my email, we're switching over to DSL from our "dinosaur" dialup, which until about two weeks ago was the only thing available into our old warehouse. I'm the only one who uses that email address, so I'll be sure to get it. I'll change the email address in the profile when I finish notifying everyone.

I should finish the rough and be ready to present a rough cut of the film to the client by Thursday. Then we make refinements to both the track and the footage before we record the final score, making necessary timing adjustments along the way.

I'm flattered that you asked about my work! Frankly, because of what it is, I didn't think anyone here would be interested. I'll send you the rough before the week-end. The rough will be made using an old Yamaha T-100 tone generator computer controller and an Alesis drum machine. I generally use whatever is around during the conception stage.

I do this kind of work because I have the budget to hire superior players, it's an integral element of an important larger project, and I get paid pretty big bucks. In this case, the score will bill out at about $7500.00.

Of course it's a compromise, but this approach allows me sufficient creative control to make the work and the final projects satisfying.


Thanks...be looking for "snail mail" next week!
