Film Music Composers Using Distortion Pedals
If you are a film music composer, you may want to consider what you can use a distortion pedal for. These are parts that can come in very handy for the modern film composer. Not only can they be used to create distortion for guitars, but they can be applied to any electrical instrument to create a distorted version of its sound. Modern film composers should be able to take advantage of all possible effects because film music is heading more and more towards electronic sounds and elements.
Part of being a music composer these days is being more familiar with music production and being able to make electronic mock ups of your pieces. Along with just writing the music, you need to be able to produce it with all the necessary effects. This means that you should be able to use distortion pedals and other guitar effects to add to the sound atmosphere you are building. The days of the composer just writing their scores out is over. If you want to make it on your own as a composer, familiarize yourself with guitar distortion and other useful sounds.
