wrapped up a cinematic/noir-style track😄 It was fun going down the vintage aesthetic feel and using a smaller ensemble. The recorded violin really helped push it to the next level too 🤭 #composing #cinematicmusic #ryanleach

WIP of a film I'm scoring
Sometimes a late-night run can lead to interesting discoveries...

Wrapping up my piece inspired by the soundtrack of Tunic, my friend helped with recording the flute, which made the music wayyyyyy better than I hoped for🥺

Will do some light mixing, add more tonal sounds to gel some sections together, and that's it!

Tried rescoring a fight scene using only percussion!
Used the free Dynamo library from Orchestral Tools. Was a great exercise in thinking differently about how to compose action scenes. fav was the marimba to end the scene, felt really satisfying 😊

Little win today: finally figured out how to set up Voicemeeter on my PC. Now I can record my DAW audio and my voice at the same time with minimal latency 👍

Spent this weekend in Lakeland, FL, doing boom recording for a short, and of course, I underestimated how hot it was going to be :( (Florida native btw)
But I did see a cute duck, so it was worth it :)

Just saw #Superman and honestly? I loved it. The hope and heroism is exactly what I needed. The LutherCorp theme music was a very cool addition as well!

This remains one of my favorite pieces I’ve made.

I was inspired by Ólafur Arnalds, with his minimalist string textures. It was for a scoring competition a few years back, inspired by a nature documentary.

Reminder for myself that the little things can make a big impact when scoring. 😊

F1 was great! Watching it in Imax was worth it, getting to feel the vibrations as cars drove past the screen was fantastic
Just bought tickets to see F1 in theaters tomorrow, really curious to hear what Hans Zimmer has been cooking up lately. just gotta survive the day 😔

The new Soundly, released today, includes Find Similar, a powerful feature we’ve spent months perfecting. It analyzes any sound and instantly finds others that are just the right amount of different.

And there’s much more in the new update: getsoundly.com

Note to myself from my offline game dev journal:

"Just make it. It's good to think one or two steps ahead, but this is prototype. This is POC. You will rewrite it from scratch at least once. Just make it work. "

Thought I might share it.

Today is my 10-year anniversary of full-time video game music composing. 🎉Tho I've been making music for longer off & on, 10 years ago today I committed to myself & doubled down on my dream. I've since made music for about 100 games, many more coming. Don't give up on yourself.
