We found this little gem on one of the Japanese websites. Cinematica contatins over 2GB of samples ranging from toy pianos to electric guitars and percussions. Some sounds are decent some are just mapped along the keyboard but overall its a great sound library. Props to whoever made this.

Soundware news
This library includes an incredibly diverse collection of tonal & atonal sounds (great food for granular processing!) ranging from the shrill to the subsonic, as well as some very strange textures and uniquely percussive impacts! The contrast between the synchronous dual contact mic and stereo high resolution Sennhesier MKH80X0 mics could not be starker.

Tom Cusack interview

Things will be easy, and at other times things will be hard. Sometimes a director will say “I hate it!”. You can’t get personal and let emotion get in the way. The hardest part of the job is getting knocked down and picking yourself up. There’s no one other than you who can do that.

Composers
Well, I don’t claim to have the true wisdoms of life, but seriously… Do what you want to do. Don’t let anything or anyone tell you otherwise. If music is what you really want to work, then keep writing it and never stop. Same goes for everything else, really. I study engineering, write music for pay and do concept art. I do all of these, yet I don’t really give a crap of what will be of me in 5 years – I live now, and so do you.
