My guidelines for making "Mist" songs

It is undecided how many songs to make Mist as a theme.I think that composition of this series is in expression of "human emotions".People trapped in department stores. It is one of my goals to express various "emotions" swirling in them with music.

I'm not thinking about composing it with the sense of "making suspense and horror music."The more you read "Mist", the more blatantly the various emotions swirling in humans are blatantly expressed.Fear of an endless nightmare.Group psychology.conflict.Various emotions of people placed in abnormal situations.....

Of course there are action-like scenes, and I'm thinking of making such music.Sometimes you have to focus on different dimension monsters.But ... What should be given priority is "human emotions"!If I can express this part with music even a little, there is a meaning to study "Mist" as well.Conversely, if we can not express human emotions with music, there is no point in making songs ....

It's harder than "TROY" or "CONGO" I tried before.Now, would this time go well?


By the way, "Mist" has been made into a movie (I think it is 2007?). It is a work that you can enjoy as it is.However, I do not like the movie's last scene.The movie ends with the desperation of the main character.On the other hand, in the novel, the curtain is closed with such a nuance even if it is an endless nightmare, "Maybe there may be hope ...".

Mark Ishamis in charge of the music of the movie "Mist".He joined Wyndham Hill in the past, and he is also well versed in jazz and electronic music.Recently he has provided music to "The Longest Ride", "The Accountant" etc.

I love 'Never Cry Wolf' produced in 1983.Mark Ishamis also in charge of music for this work.Someday, I would like to make music of Never Cry Wolfe!

Thank you!

5-3 "Amy's nightmare" From the novel by Michael Crichton

It is the third song of the series on Michael Crichton's novel "CONGO".A song called "Amy's Nightmare".A symbol of fear rooted in Amy's heart deeply lost city Jingji · · ·.She gets into that nightmare.Although the novel is a subject, I made it assuming such scenes video. https://geturai.tumblr.com/post/165962716326/this-music-is-a-subject-matter-about-michael I made new music using the sound string in the middle part of the main theme song "bone ground".E sounds and F # sounds that swing around the basic F sound are used in strings, French horn, trombone, back chorus. In the first place at the stage of making the main theme song, I was conscious of the sound and the sound string which became the core of "lost city Jingji".This song is a further development of Main Theme.As the stage is Africa, we always have to make such backgrounds reminiscent of music. Main theme songs are also posted.You will understand tha...

6-5"Unacceptable reality" From the novel by Stephen Edwin King

5th track with Steven King's original work "Mist" as a theme. People who are unlikely to recognize the reality that "There is something in the fog!"When encountering "something" that goes beyond human knowledge, a person can not honestly accept facts.But in the end people will have to accept facts ....In the novel, such people are clearly expressed. It is a song that expresses such human emotions. Originally it was more melodic, but while I was writing the score I began to think "something is different ..."The first draft of the score was completed and I tried typing this in a PC.It was useless as expected. In the second draft of the score (songs that I posted), I thought of a "certain sound" that seems like a echo of characteristic eight-note passages while using the motif of the main theme.It is not music that expressed properly by a melody.Picture-wise, it may be a sort of "sound effect" -like music. ...

6-2 "Arrowhead plan(Beginning)" From the novel by Stephen Edwin King

The second song with Steven King's original work "Mist" as a theme. A song that made the motif "Arrowhead plan" which causes this story.However, it is not a representation of the Arrowhead project itself.I tried to express the influence that the accident of the Arrowhead plan has on ordinary people from the viewpoint of people.Accidents will be touched by people in the form of "fog".I'd like to express "the arrival of fog" with new songs. Melody is done on the main theme, and there was not trouble with the concept of the song itself.But the problem lies in the arrangement.I rewrote the score 2-3 times.It was harder than I thought. "Mist" thinks that it is a work that will be considerable for students who make music.Noisy floods, or music that drips down the sound, is not good.It is very incongruous to express the feeling of fear only with "strange sounds (like a synthesizer sound)".This is a kind of ...
