Monster Lab orchestra session | music by Alex Walker Smith Alex Walker Smith 2023-07-02 | An orchestral recording session of my score to episode 8 of Monster Lab, the animated series by Hunter Hancock (a.k.a MeatCanyon).

The Singularity | music by Alex Walker Smith Alex Walker Smith 2023-01-19 | This session was part of my online classes with the Film Scoring Academy of Europe.

I chose the future, using mechanical ostinatos and chaotic patterns to depict machinery and robotics."The Singularity" refers to the point in the future where technology causes a paradigm shift in humanity, where artificial intelligence may be possible. I like to think the 4-note motifs represent an A.I. beginning to develop consciousness, starting with "Am I alive?" and eventually becoming "I am alive".Sample libraries used:EastWest Hollywood Strings DiamondEastWest Hollywood Brass DiamondEastWest Symphonic Orchestra GoldCineBrass CoreTrueStrike

Distraction | Alex Walker Smith Alex Walker Smith 2019-08-21 | DistractionWritten, performed, and produced by Alex Walker SmithPlease don't steal this song. Thanks.www.AlexWalkerSmith.comI wrote a song, for some reason. I don't consider myself a singer, so adding vocals was a strange choice for me. I was in a distracted mood, so I decided to channel that in the lyrics. I like to imagine it's about a guy struggling to get over having lost someone special; could be a breakup, or even a death.

Clair de Lune - Claude Debussy (performed by Alex Walker Smith) Alex Walker Smith 2016-02-21 | I never get tired of playing Clair de Lune. I played this using one of my favorite piano libraries, The Maverick by Native Instruments (http://www.native-instruments.com/en/products/komplete/keys/the-maverick/). This is probably the best I can do while recording, something about having a camera on me takes me out of it. I think I'll record a few more of my favorite pieces in the near future, maybe I'll get better at ignoring the camera!
