48 Hour Film Competition: Necromance Soundtrack

This is one of the band's songs we used for the recent 48 film competition here in NZ.

It's a result of Margs and I sitting down and agreeing on Dflat minor as a key for some incidental sketches we were working on in late 2010, and the song Tantra came to life soon after (Drop DFlat tuning on gat and bass - oh yeah!). Enjoy!

We'll try and get the finished edit we used for the film up at some stage soon, as Margs put some awesome occasional riffs over the metal part!

What started it for me...

Back in December of 2009 I took some time off to record some songs and release a video on the Internet. I didn't realise at the time that I was starting a process that would lead me into a dream contract and eventually being part of a company making games and producing music.

The results of that time can be found at http://www.davewallacelive.com/ and isn't for the darkhearted. I'm a little musically schizophrenic, one part of me writing tragically terminal and melancholic love songs, the other producing industrial-Gothic-metal. Such is life.

But that release lead me on to an embryonic side project at Stickmen Studios, writing for a Gothic-horror game. From there I met up with Margaret and Matt and we formed Daywalkers.

Don't want to get mushy and teary-eyed on you all, but good things can happen when you follow your passion. Or for the realists out there, sometimes you get lucky when you have money to burn, no real idea what you're doing, and some really good friends and business partners.
