One day in Latvia. 20
years on.
Genre: Documentary
Year: 2008
Running time: 53 min
Producer: Viesturs Koziols
Director: Inese Vēriņa
The
contemporary orchestra+electronica score has many underlying concepts,
that are matched to the pace of the movie itself. For example, the main
theme is built around a concept of ticking clock and represents the
unstoppable time flow. Instrument palette is rather wide, ranging from
several custom pianos, massive orchestra, acoustic guitar to electronic
percussion and bass.

Gold Digger 2
Genre: Animation
Year: 2010
Running time: 3:30
Director: Inese
Verina
Story and animation: Inese Verina
Stereotypical
blond girl making her way to get married with a powerful and rich man.
From the Dictionary of the Sexual
Terms, "gold digger" or "gold miner"
is a young woman seeking or attaching herself to a rich and/or powerful
older man who will support her.
Music is fusion of all the nice
stuff we had in 80'ties and early 90'ties video game consoles. As
animation is more of a MegaDrive VDP look (as opposed to NES-style of
the first Gold Digger), I made sounds and "BGM" of that flavor as
well.
While sound effects are kept within YM2612+PSG boundaries, musical
instrument sounds are synthesized from very different worlds, including
FM (using a Yamaha TX81Z [OPZ YM2414] and FB01 [OPP YM2164]),
PSG (noise hihat and squares... a lot of squares!), multiple
2A03 DPCM (for percussion), some substractive and additive synthesizers.

Gold Digger
Genre: Animation
Year: 2007
Running time: 2 min
Director: Inese Verina
Story and character design: Inese Verina
Custom software for playground compositing: me
Animation: Inese Verina
This
animation is actually composed of pixel-by-pixel drawn tiles and
composited using a true old console game style tile map tools.
Music and effects are also in full spirit of the oldschool computing
world: composed entirely on tracker, with the sound generator limits
matching those of YM2149 / AY8912 combined with NES 2A03 (triangle
for bass, DMA 1bit DPCM percussion), yet with slightly more square
channels. Along with a graphics compositing tool, I made an
encoder and playback emulation of NES DMA DPCM with
preemphasis/deemphasis, so that drums sound authentic.

Space Poodle
Genre: Animation
Year: 2009
Running time: 2 min
Director: Inese
Verina
Story and animation: Inese Verina
I have to confess about the music that this short film has. A
really shameful confession.
When
this short film went into production, I did a simple temporary track
for it as a tempo reference for the animation. It is somewhere around
what I had in mind for it, but in a rough sketch quality. However,
everybody found it to be nice and fitting as weird as it was. So,
due to
everybody liking it as it is, lack of free time (the usual lame excuse)
and me being lazy as hell (now one that is sincere), this finished
short film actually features the same first temporary tempo reference
track. Enjoy this weird clip and may the force of 8 bits be with you! :)
