::: Entry VII : STRANGE LAND :::

In April 2009, I had the good fortune of scoring an excellent sci-fi animation. 'Strange Land' is a computer animated short created by the brilliant minds of Andrew Jerez and Harry Teitelman. It mirrors the best qualities of the renowned 'Pixar Shorts', with an ever-present darker twist. 

::: Entry VI : Rescoring 'In the Mood for Love' :::

Is it a coincidence that most critically acclaimed films also have iconic musical scores? 'In the Mood for Love' (2000) is an ideal example. Wong Kar-wai employs Michael Galasso's music to great effect in evoking romantic longing, between Mo-wan and Li-zhen. In rescoring this montage, I paid my respects to Galasso's score, and hopefully created music that works equally well.

::: Entry V : Rescoring 'DragonAge' TV Spot :::

This clip is short and sweet; a tv spot for the video game, Dragon Age: Origins. The commercial provided an opportunity to write visceral orchestral music, which I couldn't pass up. Enjoy. - M J

::: Entry IV : Cannes Premiere :::

Cannes Film Festival has officially accepted 'The Return Address' into their prestigious lineup. This unique short film was directed by Abi Varghese, under the production of Infamous Coconuts. 

Abi and I met in late March, he was looking for a soundtrack in the style of Yann Tiersen (Amelie, 2001) and Thomas Newman (American Beauty, 1999). The film was close to final cut, and music was to play a pivotal role in the narrative.  

The story is set in 1955, and revolves around a young photographer in a small town. Through small acts of quirky kindness he begins to positively change people's lives. For more info : 'The Return Address'

Below is a sample from my score for 'The Return Address'.

::: Entry III : Rescoring 'Dracula' :::

Francis Ford Coppola's 'Dracula' (1992) has long been one of my cinematic guilty pleasures. One of the many reasons I enjoy it so much is Wojciech Kilar's brilliant score. When I rescore any film, I always approach the original work with appreciation and respect. Often times, the challenge of creating new music for a brilliant film provides it's own inspiration. - M J

::: Entry II : Rescoring 'Serenity' :::

This clip is from a film called 'Serenity' (2005), directed by Joss Whedon. It holds a special place in my heart as one of the first cues I ever rescored. The music was performed by an orchestra of professional musicians at the ASCAP Film Scoring Workshop (2008), conducted and composed by yours truly.  - M J

::: Entry I : 'Wherein All is Revealed' :::

Welcome to Rescoring Blog! 

My name is Milosz Jeziorski, I'm the moderator and resident composer of this blog. The focus of 'Rescoring Blog' is film music, and the power of music to influence a film narrative.  

One of the best ways for film composers to hone their craft is to 'rescore' scenes from pre-existing films. Most of the movies posted here will be cues I've rescored. Occasionally, I'll mention projects I'm officially working on, and post music samples from those scores as well.

Finally, if you love film or music, I hope this blog will entertain, inform and possibly even inspire you.

Alright, enough extravagant promises. Let's break this blog in !
