**** Forget this thread, I've since changed the music substantially and took down the original track. ****
I was thinking (something to be avoided but I did it anyway)...
"Les, your music kind of all has a sort of thematic or classical vibe. There's a certain laid-back similarity. But I want some energy, dammit! Maybe you should challenge yourself and write a minute's worth of music for an imaginary action scene."
"Ya know, I don't often think about action scenes. But you're right, they're out there, and they need music. No one will ever know I can write this kind of thing if I don't do one."
"There ya go."
So I decided to get out the ol' Action Scene Spear (every studio should have one), poke myself in the ear with it, wipe the blood off my keys, and write a minute's worth of Action Scene Music. Youl kow what action scene music is, you've heard it a million times: Lots going on between string and brass sections, fast tempo, dissonant, with several stops and starts. Turns out, it's kinda complicated to write.
Once I got the spear point out of my ear, I put the remaining ear to work. Wrap your heads around this, ladies and germs:
