Welcome to my next little tutorial. Due to the many questions I received concering my short orchestral action piece “The Last Survivor”, I decided to share a little insight into this little track. This track has the only purpose to fill up my showreel with a few action styles but had the limitation of not being much longer than 90 seconds. So I decided to go for a somewhat “Suite”-like appraoch, trying to fit in as many styles in there as possible. The result is a pretty “active” piece with lots of small parts which of course is not ideal for such a piece but it was a deliberate decision I made to make the most effective use of the time I had. You can have a listen to the whole piece here: Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required...

I’m currently quite busy flying around several cities to do important meetings regarding “Dällebach Kari”. On our way we went to Vienna for one day but didn’t have much time to enjoy much of the city. However we had a very good meeting which i can’t talk about in detail at the moment but it brought us quite a bit forward. I’m currently in Bern again, having some more meetings here and writing a few more songs together with Moritz in his studio. The musical is coming along pretty well, we’re very busy working on the songs, trying out new ideas, throwing out old ones and it has the feeling of finally getting a shape. I’ll keep you posted.
