Spell of the North - My Original Score from 2001

[William Brookfield]

To produce this music I used a Kurzweil k2000 and k2000r, two guitars and a Roland s330 sampler.
Hank did all the video and ambient sounds.

Very nice.

Where did Hank get the stock footage?

Very nice indeed!
The music quality sounds like a professional soundtrack to my ears. Most enjoyable and appropriate to accommodate the pictures. Loved the Northern lights (Auroa). Loved the animals too.
Loved the music! Thanks.

Excellent sound and vision

Wow, that sounds great! Love that sax sound? Is it Kurzweil or Roland? It’s very early 2000s for sure.

Thanks for all your comments!

The Roland S-330 is the sax sound. I sampled a friend's Korg M1 sax samples (for the lower note ranges). For the higher sax
notes I used sax patch that I built on my DX7. All these sounds were sampled to the S-330 as raw as possible so that I could use the aftertouch and envelopes of the S-330 for expressive control. Believe it or not, I am still using my Roland S-330 (from 1987) as a bass and drum module for smaller local gigs and my Yamaha Dx7 (1984) as a second controller. I have to give credit to Roland and Yamaha for building durable gear! The K2000r is still working but the K2000 bit the dust a few years ago.
