Hey there, music explorers!
I’m stoked to share about one of my greatest artistic collaborations to date. I had the great opportunity to team up with the exceptional David Armsby, widely recognized for his YouTube channel Dead Sound. This Scottish animator, film director, writer, and sculptor is the creative force behind the engrossing Autodale animated short films series.
Our collaboration was for his film, “Blood for Blood”, a riveting tale woven into the primeval world of Sauria. This project offered us an exciting and unique challenge: to craft a score that echoed the raw, ancient sounds of this unique world. In particular, we aimed to reflect the cultures of the Kindred of the Tusk and the BlueSong.
It is the kind of project I think of as worldbuilding music: a score shaped by the history, cultures, and emotional logic of a fictional place.
This process led me to experiment and delve into an array of sonic textures. We explored everything from synths, traditional folk instruments, rare percussions, and the grandeur of orchestral music.
David recently released a teaser for the film, which you can watch here: Teaser link
However, if you can’t wait and want to watch the full film, it’s available to all patrons on David’s Patreon Page: Patreon link
David Armsby is a true visionary in the field of animation and storytelling. Supporting his work not only helps him continue creating spectacular films but also lets us be a part of this mesmerizing journey. Join us in this adventure, and let’s continue exploring Sauria!
