These are all excellent entries. Good luck to everybody!
This is going to be fun! Thank you to all who entered!
Nice work, Bro!
Thanks for allowing us to be part of this!
Oh my goodness – thanks for voting! We (and all of the fabulous composers) appreciate your support.
Wow, that was tough to pick a favorite! All of the composers did an excellent job.
Amen. That’s why we needed your help to pick the perfect one. If we’d had to do this on our own, our heads would have exploded. Which would have made it difficult to, you know, film the movie…
Thanks so much for helping us out!
Agreed. Thanks so much for helping us out with this contest!
Good luck Matt! x
Gotta love the love in these comments!
ooooh – this is gonna be fun!
Yah, it sure is! Thanks so much for voting, Lilia!
It was hard just picking one. I can’t wait to see all the others.
They’re all contenders. Thanks so much for casting your vote, Matthew!
Carlos Gonzalez’ themes are really nostalgic sounding. They remind me a bit of Santaloalla’s work for “Brokeback Mountain”. There’s a sad overtone throughout the music clips I heard. Andy Kotz entry, reminded me a bit of Vangelis theme for the movie “Missing”, from 1982, a sad movie indeed. But then a guy starts to sing and I don’t see the connection between the images and the music. Nontheless, it’s a fine piece of art. I also like Schilz entry because the mood of his music suits the images I’m seeing quite well.
Good luck to all and may the best composer win!!!
Ernesto, thanks for all of your comments and for voting. We’re lucky that these 5 talented composers took an interest in our contest. Prepare to be rocked by the next 5, too…
All very good. Soner Ozdemir’s score really invoked emotions for me.
We are really pleased with the entries, and it’s exciting to hear how different people respond to the different music. Thank you so much for getting involved.
