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). This series was a blast to work on! Although I produced the score using mostly sample library instruments, I did fully orchestrate many cues in a way that they would be playable by an orchestra. So I decided to use this cue for my final project at the Film Scoring Academy of Europe.Watch the full episode here: youtu.be/61XieaDjy-QSpecial thanks to the European Recording Orchestra and all the amazing musicians and producers that made this happen.
March to the Stars | music by Alex Walker Smith Alex Walker Smith 2023-06-25 | This session was part of my online classes with the Film Scoring Academy of Europe.

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. Our assignment was to depict a time period using instrumental colors. 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.

Daffy Duck - The Pen Is Blue (Liar Liar parody) Alex Walker Smith 2019-03-01 | Somehow, this just FITS.

Actually, you can close your eyes and still enjoy the video because of how visually suggestive the music is!

Music from Secret History of Mega Man by Mashed Alex Walker Smith 2018-05-16 | I was ecstatic to write the music for this animation, not only because it's based on one of my favorite video game series of all time, but also because of the dramatic and serious tones that are explored. I wrote some of the most emotional music I've ever composed, and was also able to quote some of my favorite themes from Mega Man 2 and 3. Oh, and I also got to do some voices, which can be heard in the finished video on Mashed! Links below:Full video:youtube.com/watch?v=Fu1eVseKWtkMashed:youtube.com/user/mashedwww.AlexWalkerSmith.com

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!
