Adventure Time: Composing Ricardio Behind the Scenes

PLEASE watch HQ -- Stereo separation is better, which is important for understanding the video -- The Shower music is in one channel and the final score is in another.

A walk through how I composed the score for the Adventure Time episode Ricardo -- out of tiune crooning while showering, The original melodic skeleton, which was discarded in the composing process, is played along with the final music - demonstrating one way I compose the music.

It is also a detailed examination of oven bake pizza, my floor, my shadow, and my toys.

Karen Vuong is featured on operatic vocals.

Sonopod mastered the Ricardio score: http://www.sonopod.com/

Holy craaaap you scored Adventure Time? Oh man, that is the coolest thing EVER! Another CJSPK album, even EP, would be the most amazing thing.

@JeremyHayAnimator I plan of recording a new album starting in a week! Will you do a video for it -- that -- would be the most amazing thing, rendering the previously most amazing thing nothing more than notably astounding. Put me to shame.

Could you make a video of an overview of your equipment? I find your sound really groovy and different.

[Vekktoria]

Yeah if there isn't already one, there should be a Adventure Time soundtrack. There's alot of stoke beats that should be enjoyed all the time.

[darkmattersunshine]

You should really put an album out with the scores from all the episodes. I can't tell you how much I love to replay the beginning of the eps just to hear the fantastic music.
