Neu | Klownshed (Burnt Earth) — Orchestral | Soundtrack
This is the project that came from my old band Burnt Earth. It isn’t the same without our singer so we are continuing the project with the name ‘Klownshed’ with instrumental orchestral/soundtrack inspired music.
Edit: + cheesy preset video.

That’s huge! Love it.I just got up a few minutes ago and this is the first thing I heard this morning. I’m awake!
Can you describe how you created this?
Amazing cinematic epic stuff ! Love this type of tune from you
It is truly a great piece Mr. Meester Smeeeth. Glad the project goes on and long live Klownshed !
Big. Bold. Powerful and moving. That booming percussion with the vocals to close it out was awesome.
Beautiful melodic tension. I am reminded of the film scores of Maurice Jarre (father of Jean-Michel Jarre).
The beginning up the desert scenes from Lawrence of Arabia and the ending with vocals reminds me of music for some dark ceremonial rite.
Do tell.
This one is like I’m watching a dramatic scene, panning through the destruction and suffering. The last minute is like a patch of light, balance, and hope. Great piece! I can’t wait for your next work. 🤩
Thank you for listening, glad you like it :-)
It's pretty basic really. I came up with the main chord sequence which we transcribed to strings then wrote various counter melody lines for each section (violas, cellos, etc), using Spitfire strings, the pulse sound was made by simple Logic automation of a couple of parameters and layering various tones to try and get it to sound right without being excessively "BRAAAAMMMM"-ey
The choirs are Spitfire libraries too. It's all pretty basic stuff to be honest.
Pretty much anything that isn't Spitfire is from Musio.
Then it was a case of trying to make it ebb and flow dynamically, and the tempo changes subtly throughout, slowing down and speeding up (hopefully) where it needs to.
There's quite a lot of mix automation to get the balance right. It was a tricky bugger to mix. To get the drums sounding bigger at the end for example, I ended up automating the compressor rather than making it louder with volume automation. So it starts too loud and gets louder lol.
All done in Logic on the Mac.
Well done, sounds good.
That sounds like fun! It’s great that we can have this technology at our fingertips. In the 80s we used a 4 track tape machine and did the best we could. Our engineer was pretty clever. He went on to become the new product development manager for Shure. One of his best ideas was something we referred to as the London Box. Each musician gets his own separate mix in headphones. It’s probably pretty common now, but back in the 80s, it was radical.
I usually only use compression on the final mix. That’s a cool idea to automate parameters like that. I will put that in my toolbox for future reference. I would love to get a Mac, but I promised my wife I would limit myself to an iPad. I know from past experience, as soon as I start expanding, I will start spending money, when I should be saving for retirement.
I really enjoyed your track and look forward to more. Have a great day!
Incredible track, with a lovely build-up to the final section with the drums. The tension and release is really well executed.
Thanks for the listen and the kind words. Glad you like it :-)
Wow! That is quite the build! Very powerful and impressive. Love big cinematic drums and choirs!
Thank you! It’s very different from old Burnt Earth — it needs a new name.
Thank you :-)
Thank you. I should watch Lawrence of Arabia again soon. His final resting place is fairly close to where I live...
Thanks
— we’ve already started the next one. It’s a bit different to this but still soundtrack/orchatral-ish
Thanks for listening :-D
Thank you!
Thanks for listening, glad you liked it :-)
Superb 🙏
Did someone say my name?
Well this is epic. Grabbed attention from the start and evolved nicely. Agree with comments around the Laurence of Arabia vibes from 1:05 to 2:45ish, and the build to the end. Good stuff.
Thank you
The overall vibe of it reminded me of the James Bond theme that Radiohead made but, sadly, wasn't used for the film.
Thank you for listening! I appreciate the support :-)
Nein
Thank you!
Thank you, I’ll happily take any Radiohead vibes
