A friend and I are currently creating a small animation series called Captain Catering, which is a cross between Postman Pat and Batman.
However, I've taken it upon myself to create the theme tune. And it's driving me mad.
The idea is to get a really chirpy cheesy theme, and for two examples, I have the Batman ['69] theme tune and the Stingray theme.
I've been sitting at a keyboard, playing my sax, even messing around with a harmonica. I have a guitar [I broke the D string], and I had a go with that too. But I am really, really stumped.
The other thing I have is Fruity Loops Studio 4, which is a little program for synthesised music. In all honesty the instruments sound rubbish, but it's probably just me.
I really, REALLY can't get anything. I've come up with a few crappy little riffs, but all I can do is try and work out, mathmatically, a way to do a theme tune.
Basically:
It needs to be around a minute long.
It needs a nice low bassline, something bouncy that carries the whole music.
Drums need to be quite fast and strong, something a little quirky that doesn't sound repetitive.
And it'd be nice to have a brass main theme over the top of it. Because well, that's what theme tunes need.
I'm not trying to get the greatest song ever, christ, I'm doing a song by numbers, I'm sure you're not supposed to do that. But it'ss drrrivvingg mee maaaadddddddd
[I was actually going to just get us to sing Moonriver for the titles, but if we were going to approach anyone with the animations then we'd have to pay to use it, with money I don't have. Shame.]

Why not apply some random noise (note adjustment) according to the poisson distribution or something? :)

I feel like I'm falling to the dark side.

Everything I come up with is crappy and methodical. Nothing feels fresh at all, argghhhhh
ahem. Maybe I'll just go make models instead.
