The perfect soundtrack

The perfect soundtrack is unnoticed.  It achieves atmosphere and mood without hindering the story.  It should also try and make up for mistakes in other areas, if possible.  This is in much the same way that beautiful visuals can try to make up for poor acting, something very much a concern and hope of Weathercock Productions.  With an independent film that will almost certainly never see broad distribution, practically any and all music and sound is available.  YouTube has gotten better at recognizing copyright violations, however, so if we do decide to make use of copyrighted material, YouTube is out as the primary venue.

Fortunately, we do have a small but vigorous library of original music of which we can make use.  I think I'll add another page to the blog to showcase the music created by our man-behind-the-scores, John Max McFarland.
