Challenge
Alright, so Clone Wars came out last weekend. I haven't seen it, but I have heard the score and really all I can say is, "Eh?".
Anyway, the thought occurred to me that many of the readers of this blog are film music lovers/part-time film composers/etc. So I thought about a challenge.
Compose a 2'30-3'30 cue to accompany a Star Wars scene.
1. You may invent the scenario for the scene, or you may use a scene from the films or the expanded universe as a basis. However, concepts utilising the expanded universe must be kept to the timeline beginning with The Phantom Menace and ending with Return of the Jedi.
2. You may use any of John Williams' themes at any time for points of reference but they cannot be the actual basis for the cue.
3. The point of the exercise is to write a Star Wars cue. To that end, you're supposed to sound like John Williams.
Whaddya think? As far as I can tell it's loose enough that it can work for anyone. I don't have a deadline in mind but I do think that you shouldn't spend any great amount of time on it, either.
So who's in?
