Spotlight! Crazy Pig
May 12, 2010 • Ravel Virtual Studios and composer Dan Lazarescou recently collaborated on a new project, the score to the short film Crazy Pig, directed by Juan Francisco de la Guardia. We are pleased to be able to share a video excerpt of Crazy Pig with you!
Demos
Here are some demos of well known pieces that we have performed for your listening pleasure. Each piece is available in two versions:
To listen to these demos, you’ll need an audio player plug-in, such as QuickTime, for your web browser. For best results, listen with high quality professional headphones or speakers.
The audio files are quite large in order to offer the best sound quality, so please be patient as they download.
Upon request, we can send you a free demo CD that can be played in any standard CD player.
Version 1 is the piece played with synthesized MIDI instruments that come pre-installed with most computers. This is what most composers are forced to use now.
Version 2 is the piece performed by us, using our expertise and top-shelf sample libraries. This shows the superior quality we can offer.
We think the comparison speaks for itself! Check back often, because more demos will be added over time.
