Composing : What do you think about this one? by Tobias Alexander Ratka

What do you think about this one?

Hey, I'm Tobi and yes, I am pretty young (13 actually). But my biggest hobby is scoring movies or composing Trailer-Music. (I started doing this with the age of 7). And I just made a new song. It's more like a Trailer-Music, than an actual Score. But I'd like to know your opinion.. So here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6OC8pZDVAw

Very nice, it would fit well with an action packed scene, or BIG war/fighting scene. And then a slow-mo scene about half way through, sadder things happening. The sounds at about 1:28 seem to be more sci-fi, and like flashes of video would work good. Well done! My son started doing things like this at about age 14, and he now works at Weta Digital - working on the Hobbit3 now, he also worked on the latest Planet of the Apes movie and Hobbit2... and lots of others, and he's only 20.

Great work! I've had a listen to some of the other tracks on your Youtube channel, and those sound great too. Keep it up! :)

Hey, that's some great stuff Alexander, especially for only 13. We're looking to add more composers to our group for a live action science fiction television series and audio series. You can check it out at www.intergalacticspacerangers.com - If you're interested in joining up let me know. Thanks!

Tobias Alexander Ratka

Yes, actually I am interested ;)

What a cute little pet! Please contact me if it ever has puppies!

Nice music. You might want a moving visual to go with it, however.

Nice music. What are you using for the software patches? Strings sounded a little thin in the upper range. Impressive for your age...you should definitely keep honing your skills. And you can probably start making money already with your tracks. If you haven't already, try to find an indie film shooting in your area to get some hands on experience. It's always helpful for a composer to know all aspects of filmmaking, if for no other reason than to speak the same language as the director. Or just make your own film. Keep it up!
