As I just watched "Alien Covenant" this week, and noticed music from the original Alien interpolated into the soundtrack, I thought I'd have a go at re-recording a cue from Jerry Goldsmith's incredible score to "Alien". This has been created with virtual instruments.

Easily one of the most dead-on recreations I have ever heard!

@AlexBallMusic 6 лет назад

Thank you! Some come out better than others and listening back to this one it's one of the better ones.

Hello. Thank you so much for your cover. Would you please do a cover of this song of the Alien 1979 Movie Soundtrack: The Landing m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AcTK6YruZ2w.html ?

This is all virtual instruments? It sounds incredible!

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Ludo Somnus Thanks. Yes, all vsts. Sounds listed in the description. One trick I use is dropping in the original recording in and tempo mapping it before I start so that my version will push and pull in all the same places. Works well on this one I think.

@chironbramberger Год назад

Just seeing this for the first time and I fucking love this! It's not just seeing MIDI but also the commentary about the chords and whatnot; Love IT!

@33carpntr 6 лет назад

Hey Alex, this is incredible! The attention to detail, the timing, the sound, absolutely fantastic! Great job and would love to hear more from this iconic Goldsmith score.

@AlexBallMusic 6 лет назад

Thanks. Listening back, this one came out well. Better than others probably. Someone suggested doing a break down of Goldsmith's "Total Recall" score, so was thinking that would be a good one to do at some point.

@JohnInTheShelter 3 года назад

I've been listening to this music for forty years, and this is an almost perfect recreation. Very educational, too.

@aaronjboysreleasing2001 8 месяцев назад

I can tell you that original Alien was made back in 1979?! Right?! And also, this film is rated R!

@dougansell Год назад

Stellar! One of my favorited JG pieces.

@adrianshawuk Год назад

Very good, I'm impressed. Would like to see more from this film score.

@timothye.2644 5 лет назад

This is absolutely amazing! I would love to see you do a remake of Atreyu's flight from The Neverending Story by Klaus Doldinger. Excellent work. Keep it up! 👍🏼

@rocnathan 2 года назад

A master and gentleman who left us far too soon. Extremely impressive recreation!

@deadlinermusic Год назад

Beautiful. Stunning.

@visionaryhomemanagement9234 4 года назад

Every time I hear this, you can't tell the difference between this magnificent recreation and the original score. Fantastic!

@johngoodlass 7 лет назад

Fantastic

@zaharishtonov 6 лет назад

Thoroughly enjoyed this work of yours too! Beautiful rendition! You even got the room tone in ;)

@oierpoaz 6 лет назад

Wonderful.

@Beaufort-Wes 4 года назад

Alex Ball, the attention to detail in these recreations has made be listen to and appreciate some of these epic scores with a new set of ears, respect and admiration. Thank you for sharing with us and keep up the fantastic work!

@cosmodrome9478 4 года назад

"Wonderful" is maybe too little for this! You did a fantastic job, it sounds 110% convincing, were it not for the Cubase screencast I could have mistaken it for a real orchestra. Plus, this is one of the best movie's score ever, those initial flute triads... thank you for this video (just subscribed, of course).

@chrisschlee8377 7 лет назад

WOW. This is what i call solid editing skills. Good production, convincing result, good room feel, perfect use of articulations. Composerfriend - you got a new follower ;) What did you use for the strings if i may ask? The tone has got a lot of air. Spitfire? All the best and keep up the great work! P.s.: The only thing that didnt work well IMO is the transition at 1:04 which feels a little bit cut off. Maybei wouldnt let the notes stopp so abruptly here

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Chris Schlee Thanks Chris. List of sounds used in the description. But yeah, it's Spitfire. 1'04". Know what you mean. Did spend a lot of time trying to make it sound like the original, which does also sound like a fairly abrupt change at that point too. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-J1sV-E6S7x0.html In hindsight, also should have made more of the delay FX on the woodwind as they're more prominent in the original.

@gergelytakacs5881 6 лет назад

Incredible.... I've listened to tons of remakes before... but this is different. If I close my eyes... IT'S THE REAL THING ! !

@AlexBallMusic 6 лет назад

+Gergely Takács Thanks very much. Sometimes I have to do a lot of work and it's still a long way off, but this one did come out well. Think some pieces suit vsts better than others.

@MarkArandjus 3 года назад

It's so oddly layered, and I mean that as a compliment, I imagine it was tricky to get it right. Well done, sounds very realistic!

@Guedingen 5 лет назад

This is brilliant, many thanks. How we take film score composers for granted.

@matthewotooleis 4 месяца назад

Very very good! 👍🏻

@rolandh4947 6 лет назад

A stunning composition by Jerry Goldsmith

@AlexBallMusic 6 лет назад

Yep, love this score and this cue in particular. Those little woodwind chords are all you need an it's that world!

@thesoniq 6 лет назад

I'm mesmerized. Off to watch more of your vids. Stellar, my friend. Stellar work.

@lassebauer 4 года назад

Man, those flutes. You hit this one out of the stadium 👍🏼😎

7 лет назад

Those crescendos look like a great challenge. Overall, great job! Congrats.

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Yep, those septuplet runs were a bit tricky! I've got some pre-recorded runs, but none of them that could play that pattern, so had to do them manually. Think they came out quite well in the mix. Thanks for the comment!

@caseygroves3046 4 года назад

Also, can you please do more of these?? They are just incredible!!

@chaton51 4 года назад

@Monokitsune 5 лет назад

Awesome! Love Jerry Goldsmiths music.

@anthonybrett 4 года назад

Alex this sooooo good! Well done buddy.

@scottglasgowmusic 4 года назад

Ever consider sharing your DAW session for mockups like this? Yes, won't sound the same for the person trying to recreate but it would be a great lesson. G lydian runs at :57 are unfortunate.. midi just doesn't do Debussy style flourishes well.

Your strings sound like they did in the late 70s, it's really amazing, on top of everything else.

@AlexBallMusic 4 года назад

Thanks. Did quite a bit of processing to get that sound, but worked quite well on this demo.

@caseygroves3046 4 года назад

I am still blown away by your ability to emulate real instruments. This is nuts. Which library do you use for your horns?

@AlexBallMusic 4 года назад

Thanks. The libraries are listed in the video description.

@chrisken8902 Год назад

Damn! Better than the original !!! CAN I USE YOUR MUSIC FOR AN ALIEN BOARD GAME PLAYED ON RU-vid ? The link to your version and your credits presented.

@jean-michelmagniez8157 7 лет назад

Just wanted to mention another element of interest at bars 30-35 : the sustained F4 (+F5?) which has a different function in each individual chord : root, b5, 7,5....until it shifts to G on the EbM7.

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Jean-Michel MAGNIEZ Really good point. Pedal note that glues quite unrelated chords together seamlessly.

@theflep 5 лет назад

This is so amazing... How to you do this!? I have those libraries and they don't sound like that with me!!!

@DanielLopez-zt4ig 2 года назад

If you did not show this video I would assume this was a real orchestra.

@TeoLizarraldeOliver 7 лет назад

Awesome! Could you do some music that have the same movment of the woodwinds on this piece but on Brass? This kind of video is very intructive, I've learned a lot. Thnak you for that.

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Teo Oliver Thanks for the comment. Yeah, starting adding chords and info on my videos and getting feedback saying people find it useful (as do I) so will continue doing that I think. Brass - you could do what the woodwinds are doing in the intro, but it would be more difficult to control. Possibly could work on french horns. I find brass can do soft legato stuff nicely, but the mechanics of blowing through them makes soft short notes difficult. Woods are a bit more nimble with that kind of thing. Could work on harp or vibraphone quite well I reckon. They do soft very well.

@TeoLizarraldeOliver 7 лет назад

Oh! Nice, thank you for the advise. (I'm still have a lot to learn about orchestration).

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Teo Oliver No problem. Thanks for commenting. Yep - you can never stop learning. I've still got mountains to learn. One of the reasons I enjoy doing these mock ups - helps figure things out.

@chrisken8902 Год назад

0:07 - 2:48

@SamiMatar 7 лет назад

Excellent work. I would have personally used SM Trumpets instead, but that is just a personal preference.

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

+Sami Matar Yep, SM trumpets are great. Not so much for sharp short notes I find, but really nimble on melodic stuff and vibrato, rips, falls etc are ace. I should use them more than I do.

@Guedingen 5 лет назад

The greats I mean, like Goldsmith and Herrmann

@OmbrellaMedia 6 лет назад

Can you upload a version with showing the musical notation? Great job!

@dimensionstomorrow 3 года назад

Do you like T-Racks? I haven’t been the biggest fan of IK Multimedia

@jean-michelmagniez8157 7 лет назад

Awesome job! But I have a question. I don't know what source you worked from. Is it from Goldsmith's original notation? I'm asking that because you remain in 3/4 all the time or almost. Would it not make more sense to have an extra beat at bars 7,10, 13, 16, i.e., insert a 4/4 signature there, rather than slow down the tempo?

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Jean-Michel MAGNIEZ Thanks. Glad you liked it. I've got the score. I was surprised it's mainly in 3/4 too. I heard it differently, but this is exactly how it's written and conducted.

@jean-michelmagniez8157 7 лет назад

Thanks for your answer. You've got the score, then.. That means what you wrote at bars 19-22 is what JG noted. That's very interesting. I mean, I tried my best to hear what he'd written there but I quickly gave up :)

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Jean-Michel MAGNIEZ That bit from 19 - 22 with the runs. It's actually written half the speed but played twice the tempo on the score. I kept the tempo the same to avoid awkward tempo programming. It's written as septuplet figures in that section. It basically is an effect, you don't really hear the notes. Just the Lydian b7 mode. Interestingly, that mode contains 5 notes of a whole-tone scale in it, so it's almost like that thing where you get a harpist to do glissandi beds in the whole tone scale for that cliche "dream" sound.

@jean-michelmagniez8157 7 лет назад

Thanks for the infos, Alex. About that same passage, I was wondering what instrument plays the low A1, starting from the second beat of bar 19? A bassoon or maybe the serpent, or something else? (It's clearly audible in all renditions and I can see it on your Cubase capture).

@jean-michelmagniez8157 7 лет назад

By the way, there's an interesting analysis of the "hypersleep" cue (among others) here www.brianmorrell.co.uk/book2/05chordchanges.pdf

@GrumpyOldMan9 6 лет назад

"Lydian flat 7", must be the Lydian Dominant

@GeorgeStreicherMusic 6 лет назад

Think you'll ever do a video on how you mix and master? :D

@AlexBallMusic 6 лет назад

I've done two. Did you see these? Big fat guide: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wXgqiNtCfUg.html Carpentry walk through: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0D8d6Wy7thU.html

@GeorgeStreicherMusic 6 лет назад

Thank you, sir!

@Schiborr 7 лет назад

Great Job, though I wouldn´t call it a "re-recording"..;)

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Charmand Grimloch Thanks. I call it a "re-record" because I've produced an original recording from scratch with virtual instruments playing the parts. Is there a better title I should use do you think?

@Schiborr 7 лет назад

Well, I call "recordings" when I actually record the instruments either by myself or when I work with a live orchestra. And even then: When I would have a recording engineer, then I would be not call it my recording. Using samples which are recorded by Sample Developers I wouldn´t call then a re- recording, but more using their samples to create a digital mockup. At least from my definition. But regardless, it is good to see people doing mockups from classic film music bits.

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Charmand Grimloch Right, see what you mean. That makes sense. Semantics I guess. I view the exported file as a "recording" of that cue. But, I see your point. I programmed existing recordings. Mocking up cues - yeah enjoy doing these when I can. Actually a great education for me. Learned quite a bit about woodwind voicings on this one.

@Schiborr 7 лет назад

Sorry for my nitpicking :D Btw: When you switch the C Mn / GMj Flute motif to C Mj / Gm Motif keeping C in the bass as usual you have another variation which Goldsmith used.

@AlexBallMusic 7 лет назад

Charmand Grimloch No problem - nitpick away! If it helps make better videos then it's all useful feedback. Chord variations - so basically the opposite? Does Cm to G and then C to Gm? One thing I didn't do too heavily is the tape echo he used on the original recording. If you listen to this cue it's really heavy on those opening woods. Quite a cool technique.

@czr7j9 6 лет назад

would not have picked it. much cheaper than paying an orchestra.

@f.herumusu8341 4 года назад

Can I have the Cubase file? Pretty please! I think this tune is slighly influeced by the famous opening of Debussy's La Mer in which he describes th mood of a sunset over the ocean: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hlR9rDJMEiQ.html which would make a fine cross reference to his cathedrale engloutie in your "Escape from New Your"-Video.
