I've shot on DV a 15 minute short to show investors about funding to do a full length. It's stylistic, it looks beautiful. However, I haven't scored it yet. I'm looking for something that sounds very spaghetti western/mariachi/funkish similar to the soundtracks in Once Upon A Time in Mexico and The Street Fighter (1970s Sonny Chiba film.)

Anyone know where I could obtain something similar to this for either free or very very inexpensively? This is basically a rough version to show people to try and obtain funding. If worse comes to worse, I'll steal it from many of the old PD movies I've got, but I wanted to know if anyone has a better source.

lol. im about to get in major trouble

i didn't say it---

www.edgen.com


free professional music.. just put his name and site on the credits.

teenagdcelluloid, i dont think that helps me. i need public domain stuff, it can't be infringing on copyright. i want to release this as an extra on the DVD when I do the full length, because it's somewhat of a prequel.

i'm going to look into edgen.com though.

ive been looking around for free funky western stuff, but no luck. If you have a ton of free time someday, you might want to cruise www.opsound.com (which has "open source music", but its mostly experimental or electronica) Also you can try www.archive.org, they have a whole section on music, alot of it is free, as long as its not for commercial purposes. or if all else fails,ask one of the many composers on the site to make you a song.

thanks particleman, i rummage through archive.org a lot. they're great. i've got some of my movies up there as well.

i guess i gotta pick up the guitar and do what i need to do.

i guess i misunderstood the question, lol. now the only thing left to do is to have one of the moderators bomb on me for SOME stupid reason, and someone to yell at me about posting things about p2p because it demeans the forums, lol

Thanks. That'll help.

hey paul,

i'd be interested in creating the music for it. i don't really have any place i could link you to show you other stuff i've done, but i could come up with a quick sample to send you.

let me know what you think. this sounds like it could be fun.

Edgen's music is good but I think it often sounds way too electronic and artificial. I personally hate it when music sounds like that, and it's a common thing among amateur composers.
