Big admin news! I have been in the process of preparing for a domain move to the world of Squarespace. The overall layout of the site will remain intact. I am happy with it, and its clean and simple structure gets across all the information that I want to provide to the world.
One reason is to make my life easier. I want to set up systems in place to allow me to concentrate on the most important thing I need to accomplish with my time: compose music.
And one of the big things I have struggled with is creating an elegant e-commerce solution. In order to provide a better store experience, I need to provide more purchasing flexibility and automated delivery systems. Right now, I am limited to accepting Paypal only, and I want to be able to accept other forms of payment as well, such as credit cards.
The other issue is one that exists somewhat behind the scenes: getting the product to you in an elegant way. Right now orders placed on the site send me an email, notifying me that someone has purchased something. Then I create a new email to that person and send the product you purchased as an attachment. While it has a charming and artisan personal touch, the charm fades quickly if I happen to be out of my studio.
Luckily so far everyone has been cool with waiting for me to return for receipt of their music or mp3's. But this solution will end the waiting!
Once you check out, Squarespace will AUTOMATICALLY send you a download link for the product you purchase and you can have it more or less immediately.
This is why I am excited about this move. It provides me peace of mind that you will be taken care of, no matter where in the world I happen to be. And it will provide you with a more professional solution for purchasing sheet music and mp3's.
As always, I welcome your feedback.
The only downside for me is Blogger will not be part of the new site. I will link to it for the sake of having an archive, but a new fresh blog will now exist under the blog tab.
The new site will transition in the coming weeks!

Updated Demo
It has been a long time since I have updated my demo. And I finally decided it was time. What...it's only been two years. I also decided to go to Vimeo for it, partially to explore what they have to offer. Partially because YouTube is extremely frustrating--that's a whole other story with more cans of worms than I'm prepared to open.
I will admit to having issues with Vimeo's embed code, which seems to work in different ways, depending on how you are applying it. Sometimes it requires the "http:" and sometimes, like here, it doesn't.
I guess since my site is entirely hand-coded, small things like this get weird between applications. Some new-fangled sites require stodgy old code in order to properly link. So it continues to be an ongoing experiment.
One of these days, I may go the way of Squarespace, and leave all the heavy lifting to them--infact, I feel it is an inevitable eventuality--but for now, my website is artisan. Creaky, and based on html practices from a decades old book, but there is a certain charm about it. Like many skills I'm happy to have explored, but lack the hours required to master, like folding a fitted sheet.
There are two versions below, a "regular flavored" version, and a "music-only" version.
Joseph Carrillo Film Scoring Demo
MUSIC ONLY Joseph Carrillo Film Scoring Demo
Not that I feel the need to qualify my choices, but I should mention that this actually went through a couple of different versions. I really wanted to include selections from 5IVElements, but it was a little awkward not having video, or pictures of the exhibition or reception. I had programmed some really awkward cross-fading graphics from the art I used for the cover flying across the screen documentary style (though with less style). At the end of the day, it ultimately wasn't a "film" and despite my feelings toward that piece as a significant accomplishment, I just didn't feel like I could include it. The other problem being it takes 30 seconds to play about four notes, as it is a very slow meditation on these themes. Evocative, yes, but not if you have somewhere to be.
Not Cool and Wish were no-brainers to include, as was Emo Dad. There were some moments from Episode 3 that were also good, but a little dark out of context, and between Dead Line and The Darkling, I felt I had that covered. I was a little hesitant to include Darkling again, but I REALLY like it, although I feel the music could have been mixed better.
Penguemic was also a little problematic for me, as again, a major accomplishment, but the game hasn't been released yet. It will be, I have been assured, but the company is very small and other things took precedence. The other problem is there is no actual gameplay out there, aside from a couple of early alpha-release reviews with talking over the top, there is just a trailer, using music that isn't actually in the game--it is music I wrote, but it was an early theme that wasn't used. The other thing that was pointed out to me was part of the appeal of the score is how the theme varies from country to country, and there is no way to capture that in an elegant way in 30 seconds. So I kind of just slammed the music from "World 3 - India" in there because it seemed to fit the best.
So there are all the things that were going through my head as I put this together. Aside from "AHHHHHH!" which only happened every other minute.

Winner! Best Musical Score for "Wish"
I am so excited to announce that my score for Wish won the award for Best Musical Score at the San Diego 48 Hour Film Festival!
You can watch "Wish" on Vimeo by clicking here.
I am so excited to have my work recognized, and would be remiss if I didn't share this honor with the very talented sing/songwriter/producer duo of Archie Thompson who wrote the haunting "Sounds In My Mind" and Whitney Shay, who so beautifully and powerfully sang it.
They are amazing and you can find out more about Archie Thompson here, and more about Whitney Shay here.
Their contribution to the overall film and the sense weight it brings is worth the biggest mention.

My first review! Penguemic: Word Domination
So I happened to discover my first review last night! I am really excited about this even though the music criticism was only an afterthought in the video, but still! It was a review of my music and even better: it was a positive review. I'll take it!
In case this doesn't work the way it is supposed to, the music review is at 10:25. Please check it out:

5IVElements Suite for Orchestra
Joseph Carrillo has recently completed work on the 5IVElements Suite for Orchestra. The five movement piece was composed to accompany an art exhibit. Each of the participating artists created works on canvas for Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit, using a variety of media, including oils, spray paint and watercolor. The music and interstitial sound design (such as rain, birds, wind, ocean, campfire, and crickets) serve as an ambient meditation on each of the themes and plays on a continuous loop for patrons to enjoy an immersive experience.
"The term "ambient," might be a little misleading," Carrillo says, "the music has a meditative quality to it, but it is composed for full orchestra, and the recording features several live musicians: oboe, English horn, violin, cello and a choir, assembled from 48 individual voices." Fellow SCL member Catherine Grealish is also featured as a vocal soloist.
The Elements, is on display, visually and aurally, at the Northeastern Nevada Museum in Elko, Nevada from August 13th through October 29th.
The music is available for purchase. CD's are available in the Museum Gift Shop, and it can also be downloaded from iTunes and Amazon.

New Project: Five Elements
For the past few months I have been working on a new orchestral piece, which will play as part of an art show at the Northern Nevada County Museum from August 13th through October 29th, 2013.
The title of the show is "The Elements." Each of five participants created five works, one inspired by Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit.
I composed five movements for orchestra and choir. And the recording will be further augmented with sound effects, such as wind, waves, and birds.
This has been an enormous undertaking to compose, perform and deliver in just a couple of months. And though I performed the oboe parts and sang vocals, I am not alone in the performance of this. I had help from an amazing collection of talented musicians, to whom I am eternally grateful:
Jen Choi Fischer, violin
Catherine Grealish, soprano and alto vocals
David Mergen, cello and baritone vocals
Victoria Sabonjohn, English horn and soprano and alto vocals
I hope to do a YouTube video about this project soon, as there is a lot to talk about. All this week, leading up to the Album release on iTunes on Monday, I am posting excerpts at my Soundcloud page, which is Soundcloud.com/JosephCarrilloComposer.
The opening reception is the 23rd of August, and unfortunately I will be unable to attend, as we leave for vacation the following day. But I am looking forward to being there in spirit.

Deranged in San Diego
Last week I received a message from a friend asking if I was available to provide music for their entry into the Sand Diego 48hr film festival. I have been so busy and overwhelmed with my current workload that I immediately said, yes.
The title of the film is "Deranged." I never actually received picture to work from. I had the script, and a couple of conversations with the director.
As a general rule, I don't like working from the script. What I picture in my head is not necessarily what I will see on the screen. So the entire time I was writing I kept thinking, "I really hope we are making the same movie..."
So I started on Friday night and read through the first scene and imagined the doctor nervous in his office, trying to decide what to do, and walking hurriedly out of the hospital. And I came up with a little motif that became the main theme. It mostly revolves around the 2nd so it starts off feeling a little off kilter, but it's catchy enough to give the listener something to hold onto.
That night I composed and orchestrated 10 minutes of music. By midnight, which was my original goal for delivery, I was recording the MIDI into audio tracks to start mixing. I ended up delivering it all by 6AM.
Part of what held me up was a lack of time invested into my mixing template, so as soon as this project was done, I went through that thing and made sure everything was set up in a much better way: making sure every track had its EQ and reverb set, so I just have to plug in the audio files and start mixing.
My MIDI track template was pretty in tact, but I made a few minor tweaks to that as well, just to future-proof it. I immediately move into working on the music for the Elements show (look for a future post about that), and will be putting all my new template tweaks to the test.
I plan to clean up the mixes for "Deranged" and post a couple of excerpts on Soundcloud later this week, once my ears and fatigue have settled back into their normal routine.

Dancing About a Shoe Store
I joined twitter yesterday. And now I'm blogging about it. Maybe I should post this blogpost on facebook about having joined twitter.
And you can like it, and I can like your like that you like it.
I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this, but the urge to be nothing but a smart ass is overwhelming. I intend to rein it in, though. I went with the twitter handle @josephcomposer since all the other ones were taken.
Okay, back to work on the orchestration task at hand.

ASCAP I Create Music Expo 2013
It is year 3 of the Expo, and it honestly took me a while to get in to it. I did meet some really cool people, and ran into some old friends.
It was just a whirlwind of inspiration, desperate frenetic craziness and a combination of hot messes and ridiculous talent, people who need to consider new careers, and people who will be on the national stage any second.
I feel that I learned a lot, both about myself and the industry. But as inspiring as it was, I have to say that I often feel that kind of inspiration. Especially lately. And I'm not sure if my experience was either tamped down overall, or if my threshold for inspiration has been raised to a more consistent level.
Now it is Monday. Now what?
I need to go through the business cards, the receipts, my brain, and figure out what is what. After an exhausting frenzy of energy, what is the takeaway? I'll tell you when I figure it out. I'm still riding the high.
I do have a three minute orchestra piece to compose, orchestrate and copy by the end of the week, so it there is little time for rest. More on that opportunity later.

New webseries: Emo Dad
I am very excited to announce the new Fine Bros webseries Emo Dad is now live. It was very exciting to work with Benny and Rafi again, and I had a great time composing the score for them. One of the other exciting things about the score is it features live players.
I have restrictions on how much I can say about them, as they are union members and therefore only do union work. So their time and talent contributions to this project must be done so anonymously. I am dying to make a video though, so I'll have to figure out a creative way to make them a part of it.

A Week In The Life
Yesterday had a dilemma like Monday in spades
pushing pulling with weapons and fists of the flame
courage was needed but strength pulled us through it again
why don't leave me so you can come back home at ten
Tuesday and Wednesday fell silent more aimless than me
watching the dark shadows grow and letting it be
sitting in winter as bitter tears fall in their hands
if you had a moment to spare then we wouldn't be sad
Thursday was tough and she fought for every last breath
after she forcibly beat six o'clock half to death
casual tension that just pulled us through at the end
gristle and severity choke on the tears of a friend
Friday played you wrong and left you feeling low
he raped you with alacrity and then just let you go
never regretting the time left was hardly enough
laughed in your face and then stripped you of all of your stuff
Saturday started too late and then ended at three
gloried your smile and gilded your lilies with rain
nothing but sunsets and horrible blue skies would do
pushing your face to the glass as she smashes it through
Sunday only hung around for a couple of hours
flirting in sunlight and braids, and stained purple flowers
she tried to observe it but misery failed the attempt
my heart once was open and empty now filled contempt

Jessica's Journey, Retitled Closer To God: Jessica's Journey, Now Available
I am excited to announce the feature film Jessica's Journey, now retitled as Closer To God: Jessica's Journey, is available for purchase Walmart. I believe they are even responsible for distribution, which is interesting.
I really enjoyed scoring this film, and I feel like I learned a lot. It is the fastest I have ever composed/orchestrated. Six minutes per day, which is unheard of for me. There wasn't much music requested for this film, and I only had about a week to make it all come together, but I was able to come through, and the filmmakers were happy with my work.
The score is mostly piano, harp and strings. There are some light winds and percussion. One of the biggest discoveries sample-wise was the use of the Spitfire harp. Spitfire is a sample company from the UK, and this harp is one of the most detailed instruments I have used. Its lower strings are a little quiet for my personal taste. I typically prefer more body in the lower notes (love to clang on those lower strings!), however the emotional quality of it is something I am hard pressed to find elsewhere.
The film's subject matter became deeply personal to me, since a week after completing the project, my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. That is a whole separate topic, but I feel important to mention in passing despite the fact I intend to keep this blog to music-related topics only.
The cancer of the protagonist is never identified, and her symptoms are somewhat nebulous, as is the Christian denomination the family gravitates toward to deal with their grief. Although I am not religious, I do recognize how people in a time of duress can find comfort, or an avenue to seek answers through religion. I feel that time is usually the greatest enemy and

Choir Module
I hesitate to call this a full on module, but I did three short videos discussing how I create a live choir by overdubbing myself:
Setting Up:
Recording Individual Voices:
EQ, Pan and Final Mix
I'd like to do more choir work, but could really use the help of a lyricist or poet. Enjoy!

New Piece for Concert Band: Over The Edge
After a long gestation period, my new piece for concert band is done. I did a short video about it prior to leaving on my week-long vacation, wherein I also show and demonstrate my new iPhone mic, MiC by Apogee. I'm still getting situated after the trip, though. It was quite a weekend. We got home from the airport at midnight and had to be at work the next morning.
Incidentally, something that has come up again and again is the need for a kind of autonomy. It is nerve racking to think of that sort of liberation, but it's the kind of thing that just has to happen and soon. So I'm aggressively trying to line things up to make possible. More to come on that...
