To celebrate the release of #DoctorWho #TheEdgeOfTime - here's a #MakingTheMusic video featuring: Actually half-decent visual effects, a karaoke TARDIS, a CENSORED TARDIS, me forgetting Murray Gold's themes and lots more... #composer #vgm #soundtrack

and here is a brief THREAD of stuff that didn't end up in that video:

1) this fantastic vid of Peter Howell on a CS-80 & ARP Odyssey recreating his version of the theme - I used this to get some key sounds for our synth parts:

2) This bit of footage from the orchestral session, recording the cue 'Grayle Expectations'

#DoctorWho #TheEdgeOfTime

3) This other bit of footage, recording the cue 'Mother of the Universe' which, if you can decipher the leitmotifs and musical clues, is chock-full of SPOILERS for the game...

#DoctorWho #TheEdgeOfTime

4) The guys recorded the session on video and got a shot of me on the skype call drinking out of my Doctor Who mug which was TOTALLY a coincidence. Honest!

5) orchestrator @NoonWithATune surprised me with this gorgeous bound copy of the score

#DoctorWho #TheEdgeOfTime

finally 6)
For continuity and licensing reasons we used @segunakinola 's excellent arrangement of the TV theme.
But I couldn't help having a go myself! At some point I'll put the 'unofficial' Edge of Time theme on YouTube. And yes, I tweaked the middle 8 harmonies

Bonus 7) This shot was a pain in the arse to do, in terms of tracking & lighting & angles - and rotoscoping myself for 6 frames just to do a shadow.... And yes, the music at the start is an original, bonus little classic series homage
