Where would we be without stereotypical movie sound tracks? So I have tried to add yet another one. I started by writing music for typical action/adventure scenes, such as pursuit, mystery, nostalgia, tension, impossible love, good beats evil, and a happy, romantic ending, and then merging them (I've labeled the sections for your convenience in the film). Then I added images from the Lego versions of Indiana Jones movies to mirror the music. Since the images were chosen to follow the music, the story is not really consistent, and you should definitely not pay attention of the hair color of the different female protagonists, but it's great fun anyway.
It was also an attempt to make some irregular and random music. Some of the parts have pretty irregular time signatures, and the rhythm and melody lines, with exception of the hero's theme, were chosen from a number of random phrases. E.g., the end rhythm was generated by filling two bars with 1/16th notes and assigning them random velocity (and deleting the inaudible beats).
The whole thing was scored with Logic Express and Garritan Personal Orchestra 4, with the aid of the CineToms sample library and the Reverberate plugin.
I hope you like it... You can see and hear it at YouTube.
