new songs, and paladin game progress

Posted by JAZZA Oct. 30, 2007 @ 8:45 AM EDT

I am lucky enough to have a very well established mentor, especially concerning music: Lisa Gerrard, who has composed music for movies like Gladiator, Man on fire, Whale Rider, the Insider, Passion of the Christ, and the list goes on.

anyhow, to cut a long story short, she used to be my next door neighbor and i visited her a couple of weeks ago and have a few times since, sharing my work with her (given her a paladin DVD :P) and been able to sit in on her recording.

heres some new songs i did.

Consecro Deus
a very orchestral piece, 16 layers of MIDI (me as the fake choir)

Whatever it takes
Not much to show for the MIDI samples, more of a 'me singing' song...

anyhow, i really didnt do the MIDI's justice but i really want to learn and will be doing so as much as possible...

ooooon another note, the PALADIN game is coming along remarkably WELL! with 8 acts planned, 6 bosses, and several mini movies, it should prove to be a very fun experience, due for release EARLY December. for some screenshots and more info check out the PALADIN GAME PROGRESS THREAD.
for those curious, yes i will be creating and recording all the original music for the game, and yes i will definitely be doing so with my great new MIDI's.

finally, no news post would be complete without an Ugg
Don't know what an Ugg is?

ask him yourself:

Hey Jazza, love your work so far, everything u have done is worthy of a 5 and again, great stuff. I am a fan of ur music espesially The Composer as I am teaching a class about it.

GREAT JOB

Oct. 30, 2007 | 5:21 PM JAZZA responds:

wow im SO glad that my work can be seen as worthey by a teacher, to teach with! blows me away frankly, as it was only last year i finished school without caring about it, haha. you should get me some video footage of that class... hah, or if someone ever performs it. i'd be wrapped! lol


Oct. 30, 2007 | 6:30 PM Sispri says:

Oct. 31, 2007 | 1:29 PM MrFinland says:

Yea you lucky dude. Some people would start a fight for those MIDIs yet you get them for free (without asking?) Anyway the songs sound real awesome I can't wait what you have in mind for the game

Oct. 31, 2007 | 4:32 PM JAZZA responds:

she kinda said in conversation thats she has really amazing MIDI's (after she just watched paladin 5) while she was talking with me about the music i made for paladin, and she said 'hey! i should give them to you!'

to which i replied 'whats a midy?'
