Forte Composer Academy/MIDI Study Pack #4 - Approaching Darkness

MIDI Study Pack #4 - Approaching Darkness

In this educational pack I break down my fantasy adventure track "Approaching Darkness", which I composed in a John Williams-y style for a Star Wars fan film about the construction of the Death Star. 

This MIDI Study Pack serves as an in-depth orchestration and composition lesson, and provides an opportunity for the kind of detailed study one would undertake with full orchestra scores.

Inside This Pack

This MIDI Study Pack comes packed in .zip format and contains the following files:

  • .mid  - This is a MIDI file, which can be opened in any DAW or notation program (although opening it in a DAW like Cubase or Logic is recommended).
  • .cpr - This is a Cubase 10 Project File. If you are a Cubase user you might get more insight into the creation of this piece by using this file instead of the midi.
  • .wav - This is the final, mixed version of the piece for your listening reference.
  • .wav STEMS - For you to try your own hand at mixing, or to use as sectional audio reference
  • .pdf - Readme and Study Guide

The attached PDF doubles as a readme for information on how to use these files as well as notes that turn this study experience into a guided composition/orchestration lesson complete with assignments and recommended exercises of your own.
