So I had promised you guys a while back to show you some takes on an animation clip I was scoring for Glenbw (a fantastic artist) and he had sent me a clip for a trailer. I had created 2 songs for the trailer, the second being used and the first being improper, discarded. I never uploaded those songs to NG (might some day), but I wanted to show you these anyways.
A few points. I am aware that the piano is rather shoddy and mechanical at times. The piano I was using at the time had few velocity layers and expression was very difficult with it. I did my best.
Take 1: Rejected theme

Take 2: Accepted theme

Now the reason the first was refused was not because it sucked ( I tell myself this every morning... it helps keep me... ALIVE X'(!! ) but because Glen was looking for something more along the lines of Beethoven's Moonlight sonata.
I loved expressing what was happening on the screen with the piano, expect another trailer clip (much more impressive both musically and content wise) very soon.

Wow this looks amazing!
I also really like the piano, it supported what was going on with out becoming the main focus.

Thanks! I got a much better sounding piano recently, I will redo this song through that piano and upload it onto NG. I'm glad you felt it didn't detract from the focus of the animation, was one of my concerns.
