Making music for Film & TV is my passion, my art and my practice and I create all my material using real instruments from all over the world. I'm currently creating (composing, playing, recording, mixing and producing) the soundtrack to a wonderful HD nature documentary for an american television network based in L.A California. The very nature of a documentary is that the filming and the narrative is slightly improvised as they don't know exactly what they'll capture on film that day they go on the shoot. And the company wanted the same 'organic and natural' soundtrack to fit with their film from me.
The main instruments I used for this soundtrack was the Ronroco which was custom-made for me by Pablo Kiernan in Buenos Aries. The Ronroco is a beautifully melodic nylon strung instrument that produces wonderful unique textures.
I've only just started mixing the soundtrack, but as soon as the documentary is aired on the TV network I will release the full soundtrack on my website. The track featured in this video is called 'Free-Fall' and is just a solo Ronroco (no overdubs, no sound design) which I have just finished mixing. This is for a key scene in the nature documentary.
