Behind The Scenes: Creating the Music for Baby Of Mine

[MrPianoDan]

wow.. I reeaally appreciate videos like that :DD

[houseofblackbirds]

@MrPianoDan Thank you so much! I'm really glad you like it.

[MrPianoDan]

@houseofblackbirds thanks for your responses :) ..I think it's really cool, special and unique to get such a look behind the scenes of a pro musician last but not least because I'm a musician myself:)

Joe: Thanks for this look behind the scenes. I love it when you do this, share your ideas and how you came up with them. Your orchestrations are always so lush, full and vibrant and fit the "mood" of the scene so well.

As always, beautiful my friend.

@robbcarson Thank you Robb! Great to hear from you!

I loved the piano music that you played in your Music vlog 03/25/11. You have so much music stored inside of you. So when time allows, I know that you're going to make an amazing album!!!

NYAN NYAN KIDS!"

[houseofblackbirds]

@gabrielokafor They do look a little like the kids react kids, but it's not them.

Joe, the creepy sound of The Darkling touches my soul more than the music from Baby of Mine. But I like them both. And I am thankful that you share your thoughts and your music with all of us. And I am anxiously waiting for more of your music to be available on iTunes!!!

[houseofblackbirds]

@2102ofSpirit Thank you so much! I do have more stuff coming, just not enough time to get it all done. I need about four of me!

[2102ofSpirit]

Beautiful Music, Joe.

[houseofblackbirds]

@2102ofSpirit Thank you so much for watching! I really love this score. It's just so incredibly different from The Darkling. I had been doing a lot of creepy music for a while there, and this really ended the creepy-streak.

Is their anywhere I can watch this short film??I really wanna see it!

[houseofblackbirds]

@molly1002 If you are in the LA area, you can come to the film festival! It's only $11!

[molly1002]

@houseofblackbirds I can't...I live very far from LA :(

You create some wonderful music.

But for a composer, you might want to invest in a better microphone for your videos. even with my speakers on full, I can't really hear you speak

[houseofblackbirds]

@SeanThomasTV I should look into some better mic system. I shoot all the videos on my iPhone and just use the built-in mic. I could do a much more elaborate setup--I certainly have enough mics and the equipment to do it--but I'm trying to keep these videos somewhat informal and easy to edit and post. Thanks for the critique, though, I will work on making the dialogue better!
