This was my first attempt at writing a piece to visual media. It is a re-score of the intro sequence of the Tin Tin movie. It currently does not have a reasonable orchestration for performance but a big band arrangement, as well as a wind ensemble arrangement, are in the works.
This work is in a James Bond-ish style with a big band backed by an orchestral accompaniment. I wrote this piece mostly in a 4 day stretch after I decided I wanted to do film scoring. This piece taught me the basics of film scoring and forced me to develop some of my own software to interface with video. This was also one of my first jazz style songs and I think its most likely one of the best pieces in my rep so far.
