One-Way Road - Original Marching Show

After 7 months of work, I present my second marching show “One Way Road.” Based in Australia, “One-Way Road" captivates the extensive voyage of the Eyre Highway commonly known as the 90 mile straight. The show illustrates different segments of the journey as one explores the various beauties and dangers of the vast wilderness.
Selections include:
Bolero - Maurice Ravel
Allegro Barbaro - Bela Bartok
Energize - Amias Campbell
Blue Mambo - Michael Sweeney
The Angels of Apocalypse - David Gillingham
And original music by Amias Campbell
Start Date: 5/20/22
Completion Date: 12/22/22
This will be one of my last major works in Musescore 3, Hope you enjoy :)
Who needs the 8 minute rule anyway

Why did this take me so long 😭

[@extremelybaldcardboard]

i get it! i’ve been working on a show since september and i’m no where close to being done

[@DefineTheProblem]

took me about 5 months to write a show so def takes awhile

[@band4lyfe]

I’m amazed at this. It’s so much work that has culminated into such a beautiful show that I could see a professional group adopting. Good job on this masterpiece of a show. It’s nice having people do things like this!

[@monkeynvtss6894]

this show got me jumping in my chair like a little boy

[@seymour_as2498]

For the pic lo trumpet it kinda reminds me of flower mound mello part. Also this sounds so amazing I’ve already shared it with all my band friends and they’re going crazy

Let’s chat. I have questions about your inspirations and equipment.

[@therealnocommonsense]

Sure, you can text me on Instagram instagram.com/therealnocommonsense?igshid=MzNlNGNkZWQ4Mg== Or email me @[e-mail]

[@monkeynvtss6894]

Movement two looks a little familiar..

[@t1m0thyduk3]

how did you get the sound effects at the beginning?

[@basilstamatopoulos9094]

Seems like basic radio static but I’m sure if you’re skilled enough you can edit yourself

[@fondleballsxi]

now d the brass and pit with ms4

[@lanthesaxman1592]

This is amazing! I really wanna learn how to make something like this but I have no clue how to start

[@therealnocommonsense]

Writing the first note is always the hardest 😅

[@lanthesaxman1592]

@@therealnocommonsense true that, do you usually start with a theme, a chord, or just random stuff?

[@therealnocommonsense]

@@lanthesaxman1592 I usually start with a simple motif. For example in this show I used a small snippet of the melody from Bartok's "Allegro Barbaro" and worked around it.

[@lanthesaxman1592]

@@therealnocommonsense ah so I see. Well that is very helpful, thank you!

[@dci_fan0345]

Hey, how did you use the MDL Sampler to get the FX at the beginning? I really want to know how it works

[@therealnocommonsense]

Oh I didn't use the mdl sampler for the FX at the beginning, I added those using inshot. The FX are simply little audio snippets that I found on KZbin. On the actual score for the show it is actually empty rest. All I did was sync it up with the show in order to make it seem like it was part of the actual score.

[@dci_fan0345]

Ah, ok. Do you know how to use the MDL sampler yourself?
