VISUAL MUSIC
NIELSEN CLARINET CONCERTO
Ralph wanted to express the story in a virtuoso clarinet job. We loved to do it.
VOLGA NIGHTS
Ralph wanted bare winter trees and the Kremlin, but in jazz. I heard Patrice's and Ralph's virtuoso performances...
I had to do it. I just had to.
LLANURA
Composed by Oswald Bernard originally for trumpet, here in a virtuoso oboe performance by Francisco Castillo. The metaphor of the two ambulant musicians is pure fiction but was fun to do. It really took a lot of people to record this piece, including late maestro Ramon Stagnaro, who plays the guitar solo.
UNREAL ENGINE WORK - REAL TIME ANIMATION
Starting in 2022, I have a new, wonderful toolset: UNREAL ENGINE by Epic. The closest thing yet to a film/animation Studio in a Box. complements beautifully Maya, Blender, Audacity, Corel, PaintPro and the rest of my tools.
DOUBLE DOOR
DOUBLE DOOR is an exercise in digital acting using Metahumans in Unreal Engine, prompted by the Storytelling Fellowship I was awarded by EPIC, to my unending delight. This is my first work on the Engine, but will not be my last.
SHIPWRECKED
SHIPWRECKED is an exercise in digital worldbuilding using Unreal Engine, prompted by the WORLDBUILDING Fellowship I was awarded by EPIC, to (again) my delight. This is my second work on the Engine, but will not be my last.
