Un regolamento di conti - A Settling of Scores

Get Flash to see this player.

Description

I just finished watching Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy again. This time I really focused on listening to Ennio Morricone's scores and studying his techniques. The man is a genius. Anyway I felt very inspired and came up with a bit of a tribute to those guys with this piece. I'm working on a couple more now in hopes to have a trilogy of my own to post. I even went so far as to mock up a Spaghetti Western style Film poster (below) for this. What can I say? I love everything about the genre.

	What an homage! It sounds pristine and authentic all at once. I feel ready for a gunfight. Let me know when the movie comes out! Check out my latest song called Till the Tap Runs Dry (album version)

	The next ennio Great stuff. You've really captured the mood and the guitars are fantastic. Brilliant ending ....and poster. I think Morricone ( and John Barry) get overlooked because they compose for films and people get snobby about it but they are both top notch writers Anyway, enjoyed and thank you for posting Check out my latest song called No expense spared

rsorensen	rsorensen said 3344 days ago (October 17th, 2009)
	thanks man yeah i have no idea why people can be uptight about film composers. to me film scores are just as important as the visuals. happy you dig this Check out my latest song called Again

Relic67	Relic67 said 3345 days ago (October 16th, 2009)
	very cool nice homage to the master! so many good parts, but I esp. liked that bell sound around 1:33 and the wordless choral parts. (and of course tremolo guitar, but that goes without saying). I don't know what it is about Italians and film soundtracks, but Nino Rota and Goblin also make really wonderful soundtrack music. Check out my latest song called Dead Archive

rsorensen	rsorensen said 3344 days ago (October 17th, 2009)
	the bell was a last minute addition. i don't know about Rota and Goblin but I'm going to check em out now. thanks for stopping by Check out my latest song called Again
