Ever wanted somebody to write a song for your art?

Posted by MaestroRage - November 13th, 2009


well now you can!

As part of our promotional efforts regarding the launch of NG's own freelance audio team Symphony of Specters we are currently busy creating a Producer's blog where we intend to create an inviting and fun place to geek rage about all things audio.

One of the things we will create is a step by step video demonstration towards taking any image/video and creating an underscore for it.

And this is where YOU, the artist gets involved! I need a picture to create a score for! So if you're an artist and you ever found yourself going "man I wish there was a song dedicated for this pic!" you have to speak up and show me your art!

The picture I go with will then be taken through this process with a finished song at the end dedicated to it's honor.

The artist will of course be credited and linked to in the description of the blog concerning this video as well as any other venues in which the video is put up (YouTube, even here on NG we want to make a tutorial collection of sorts)

Some things note.
- No abstract art. There's no way to even remotely give any credible tips for scoring to those.
- No crappy MS Paint pics, the more inspiring your picture the better the song will turn out and in turn the better the video will be.
- No "standing there" pics. All pictures should have an action or situation associated with them. Like, this man is dying, or, this thing is about to violently explode, or even this spaceship is flying through space. Character stills of them standing there looking at me does not inspire a good and relevant score.

Thanks for reading, and a big thanks if you decide to throw your hat in the ring!

will you still make my music for my game :c ?

of course <3

I may have something. I'd have to look over it more though.

awesome, looking forward to seeing them

I want someone to draw an art for my music. D:

I can draw music for your music?

You said you don't want "standing there" pics, but do you accept landscapes/environments? Because I would love to hear a song for this:

<a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/idiot-monarch/the-heart-of-darkness">http://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/id iot-monarch/the-heart-of-darkness</a>

I do, I actually love landscapes/environments!

Do one for my last artwork. ;)

with all these limitations and preconceptions you have about what you want.....why don't you pick pieces you like and just surprise artists with it?

there are only 3 limitations.

It can't be a character just standing there
it can't be a grid of pretty colors ie abstract art
It can't be made by a 5 year old's talent skill level.

I wanted to know if anybody wanted to bring up any art themselves and if nobody bit i'd go look myself.

that's a damn good example, noted, thanks!

Hey Maestrorage, just felt like giving you and your team a bit of advice.

I suggest you and your team makes a CD, since you all make great music, and Im sure a mass majority of the people on this site would buy your CD. Besides that, it will get you and your teams name out there more, and possibly get you hired for films. Just suggesting.

maybe even involve art for the CD, or something.

a great idea, we have in fact made plans to do something like this down the road. Thank you for taking the time to come out and suggest it though! Means a lot.

Just to add a little commentary on that last comment, your probably already know this, but many people have done this like Enigma, E.S. Posthumus and were extremely successful.

hey i heard a few of your work its brilliant lol i sounded british for a sec like the nachtmare one DEAR LORD lol scared me or epic ones like days of war xD can you do a song for a few of my drawing if you say yes then ill give you a link to them theres one where two pilots where dog fighting in the air then shot each other down and now there outside their planes and CQCing each other with knifes with a forest behind them and debris of there one mighty planes? sounds good if so please reply me in a comment or a messege which ever youd perfer sorry for the real long comment xD cheers!
