Video created by Zennor AlexanderMusic written by me, Rhoi Fajardo.Literally: Birth, Life, Death...Eternal. Yes, kind of lame I know.This was my entry to soundsonline's 2008 video scoring competition. Didn't win, but I'm very proud of my entry. I consider it one of my best works to date. I used the widest range of individual patches yet (52 I believe it was), mostly orchestra sounds, plus a few subtle synths.Unlike last year, the story was clearly defined. Copy and pasted, edited for length: A seed in a desolate landscape. manages to sprout into a plant. its energy spreads into the surroundings, bringing life. red/green leaves mature and fly off in all directions. We follow one on its journey into the distance. (accomplishment, purposeful journey) Over the horizon, the world is unformed, monochrome. burst of energy signals arrival of two entities, the original leaves and a blue/orange. The two fly in a mating dance, merging. The world explodes into life. leaves become mature wings, and fly to the original, dissolve and compact to become new Seed.I love what I did with this piece and it's one of my favorites now. Some of sounds are there subtly to be sort of like the "red/grean leaf" sound or the "blue orange" sound, the "tree sound," etc., most of them not easy to catch, so it's almost a personal thing I had sort of a sound motif for different things. I tried to fit the music as best I could to the situation, letting the video write the music in my mind, rather than coming up with music to put to the vid; trying come up wih what felt natural for the vid. I also, of course, tried to reflect much of what happens on screen with a sound or instrument such as a flash, "electricty" going up the tree, a scene change, etc.I chose a celtic-inspired theme for the mating dance due to the movement and dance-like nature of the scenes, but wrote it so it wasn't too lighthearted. Although I didn't consider the leaves as intelligent beings, the joining I took quite seriously, like human love and joining, marriage, being as one, etc. A serious theme of finding each other, becoming one, finding their purpose in life, a wonderful new life, matured, as one, which is why I kept the theme into the wings scene, finally winding down as they dissolved to a new seed, which returns to the rolling viola theme from the beginning of the movie.

S.E.E.D: Strange Entity's Evolution and Death (kinda lame i know, but hey, i only had a few minutes to think it up since i didn't think about naming it till i was done and pressed on time to submit.) Real name of the vid revealed to be "Meet Me Where The Rainbow Ends." This was for a competition by EWQL to score this vid, winners won sample librariesf. I did not win, mostly due to misinterpreting the vid (part of the challenge). The lifeform is supposed to be angry, possibly sinister, and has a short life of pathos, dying horribly in an ironically beautiful place, when it can hardly keep it's head up. :( My music took an approach of hailing a new life, a wonderful thing happening. In this respect he praised my work, and how I actually tried to follow scene changes and stuff, and maybe i could have won had i not misinterpreted the story. Thanks to Zennor and EWQL for a great contest and learning experience, this is my first vid scored. meh, youtube seems to cut out black space, didn't let the sound dissipate properly in the end.
