Nice angle!

I’ll only allow you saying this if you say it every 15 minutes while you’re in Vegas.

> how i make my music — barry j neely, composer

You may or may not know that I compose film scores.
I also make videos that give you special insight into how I write and create those film scores.

I've now put them all into ONE PLACE. For YOU.

Keep projects alive as long as possible, like this piece that I wrote almost 10 years ago for a dance performance that only was performed ONCE.

My voice memo labels tells a story about how I’m really feeling.

Thanks! The secret I found was: pointing my Tungsten desk lights away from my face, so my face isn't slightly orange. And then also turning down all my focus lights 10%.

Still on the same lense tho.

I made a signature synth sound for a film score, and here’s how I made it.

This is from the film “The Demon Detective,” available on Amazon.

ICE is now the personal army of Trump.
They’re being sent to Democratic cities in blue states only.
It’s about hating immigrants, but it’s also about asserting power and attempting to intimidate those who disagree with him.
He will not prevail. We are too strong.

Talking music turns to my old school, controversial opinions.

I dare you to @ me about “Predator 2!”

Also, we talk about Alan Silvestri…

Playing the 7 string. In a tie.

Lately I’ve enjoyed his “Walker, Texas Ranger” bits on his old show.

I don’t make beats often but when I do, I guess I like to add a ton of layers.

Made for an indie film chase scene where the music was suppose to really bump up the energy.

He’s a breakdown of all the layers.

composing the music to the feature film "Somewhere Slow" - REVISED YouTube video by barry j neely, composer

REVISED composer breakdown. Made it...well, better and quicker than the original. It was like 21 minutes, now it's 13. Figured that was the sweet spot to get to the point.

Hoping to do more, NEW ones next year.

All the instruments I play live with Cynthia Wang!

Playing electric upright, which is both weird and cool looking at the same time.

creating the music to the feature film Slapface - "first she was a breeze" - REVISED YouTube video by barry j neely, composer

Took some advice from thejulescreative (on Threads) and re-edited a YouTube video on scoring a scene from the movie "Slapface"

- cutdown from 21m to 14
- reconfigured the screen recordings to be more visually engaging
- added b-roll to better explaining the instrument I used
- updated the thumbnail

Did they get him his rate?

Yes AND those are pics from back in the day...

But now I've got my own! But yours was awesome when I used it.

I don't often play a 4-string, but when I do, it's probably for something punk/rock.

Is there any actor more absurd than Christopher Meloni?

(doing a rewatch of all the “Wet Hot American Summers”)

Replaced the hard drive in an external casing and I'm pretty proud of myself.

The Thunderbolt ports stopped working randomly, but now I'm all good in a new enclosure.

my cat NEEDS to sleep on my computer, but kept on stepping on the connectors, so I built…

We should replace "Myers-Briggs" and the like with "What is your favorite and least favorite I Think You Should Leave " sketch.

My article from @nofilmschool.bsky.social with such an awesome headline (thank you!).

I really went all-in on this score for “The Demon Detective” and y’all need to hear - and READ about - it.
