Monday night’s episode of Adventure Time features a song I wrote that I’m waiting in nervous anticipation to hear in its final form. The demo I submitted to Tim and Casey was loosely inspired by the composer Louis Andreissen’s piece “De Staat”, except dumbed down. Basically I tried to write the kind of thing that I’ve never heard on tv before. I kept a consistent beat throughout, but didn’t let the melody repeat in any way. It’s sort of a wandering, linear phrase with all the instruments reinforcing Olivia Olson’s vocals in unison.
After recording the demo I got really nervous about it, and wrote an alternate song that was straight pop. Funny enough, Pen didn’t seem to go for the second one and liked the first, super weird one. I ended up using the pop song for my band Make A Rising on our album that we’re working on right now.
Anyway I have no idea how the song will turn out on Monday. I’m looking forward to how Casey or Tim reinterpreted it.
Not quite “Goblin Hams”, but this sounds like it will rule.
DOOODE,
You stay putting us on to rad music. Thanks! Andriessen is now in the ipod machine.
Loved the episode. LOVED IT. Easily one of my favorites of the season.
Yeah check out his piece De Staat, which is just so jaw dropping.
“De Snelheid” got me thru a rough patch in the lab yesterday. Andriessen is way more work-friendly than Xennakis.
This episode is my absolute favorite!! Loved it and the awesome music! Awesome Job!! =]
The song WAS a bit eccentric, but I liked the melody of the ending. Such a shame it was cut off by the spider.
But please consider making a album of the songs, I know a lot of people, including me, would definitely want to buy an album of the Adventure Time songs.
Yeah maybe at some point I’ll put the whole song up. People have been asking for an AT soundtrack for a while. Unfortunately I have no power to decide such things. Keep your fingers crossed.
