A Pre-Holiday Evangelist Treat
Hello, my friends! Well, here we are, a mere 24 hours or so before the 'holiday shutdowns' begin all over the world. I for one will be embracing a few 'free' days; but that being said, there's much work to be done! What am I referring to specifically? Well, check this out...
Evangelist Western Theme from Jason Levine on Vimeo
Now, I don't mind telling you that this is really *all* about the musical score...at least for now! The Evangelist Team is working on a whole new series of 'goodies' that we'll be showcasing in seminars around the world in 2009, and the first 'completed' portion is our new musical theme, scored, engineered and performed by yours truly. ;) Oh yes...the creative juices have been flowing rapidly, and it feels great. I haven't really scored anything like this in quite some time, so it felt great to be back in that mode, even for a little while.
And yes...that's REAL whistling, and yes, that's ME doing it. All in all, the session (recorded in Aud 3, of course) is comprised of multiple instruments, many doubling one another. But one of the highlights? the GRUNTS and CHANTS (provided by each Evangelist, in his own unique voice). If you've ever watched any of the classic 'Spaghetti Westerns' from the early/mid 60s starring Clint Eastwood, the 'feel' of this track should be very familiar (and heavily inspired by one of my composition idols, Ennio Morricone). I hope you like it.
Oh, and the video that is currently accompanying this music? Yeah...it's totally temporary. Not to sneak too much...but we WILL be creating a new 'Movie Trailer' (Mr. Soule is working on it right now!); but what you're seeing here is just some 'temp' video, presented in full-stereo sound, courtesy of Vimeo.
And with that, my friends, I'm going off to continue working on some other 'elements' of this project..that is, until the holiday cookies are finished baking. And then, well, it's Holly Jolly time for me..
Happy Holidays, everyone. Peace and Love.
Until next time...

I actually had to listen to it twice. Very Kill Billish. Great job.

Hey John! Thanks for the great compliment. ;) One other friend had commented similarly, and that sincerely made me feel great, as KB was indeed in the back of my mind, sound/vibe-wise ;) All the best. --JL
