Within the EP you'll find two previously unreleased tracks and a EP exclusive that won't be offered on the LP.
The money from the EP will go towards the production costs of the summer release!
Cheers and enjoy the EP!

Scores for the Rebel Filmmaker's EP release
I'm working on putting together an EP release in anticipation for the full length Rebel Film Score LP. The EP will contain a mix of popular pieces that you all seemed to enjoy and it will also contain some brand unreleased pieces.
The EP has a small cover fee to fund the future Rebel Film Score release, but in return you get full usage of the songs in commercial work, which is something I've never offered before.
Feel free to Remix, ReEdit and Reuse the songs, but the terms and conditions below apply.
i. The music may be used, changed, and incorporated in your work.
For example, you can use the scores for a movie that will be sold on DVD or theatrical release. You may NOT: sell, redistribute, incorporate in a separate product or give the scores of this collection to anyone. You may not sell or incorporate the work for distribution.
ii. The scores may not be used with or within a production involving promotion or exploitation of illegal affairs.
iii. The Contents may not be transferred to any third parties through networked computers without written site licensing from Wax Winged Productions.
iv. You may not sell, sublicense, loan, give, or transfer any part of the scores to a third-party, or allow the scores to be accessed by anyone.
v. The Scores are royalty free and may be published, broadcasted and distributed through broadcast channels in completed works.
vi. Sound and Music files do not require queue sheets to be submitted for use in a production. These files are royalty free with consideration of the above terms. If you need to credit us, please use "Scott J McKay" as needed.
vii. Feel free to remix, remaster or edit the scores to fit your production needs, but remember than even a new form of the music still falls under the same creative license and cannot be resold.

My favorite film composers
Special Mention:
Robert Rodriguez - Whether it's with his band Chingon or by himself working out orchestral scores with his keyboard, his rebel approach to all aspects of the art of filmmaking are worth mentioning. He proved it doesn't need to be hard to be a filmmaker as well as a composer.
7. John Carpenter - I'm pretty sure all of his scores involved a synthesizer, that's what makes him cool.
6. Danny Elfman - The man has done so much it's hard to pick my favorites.
5. Ennio Morricone - It's actually impossible to not include Morricone from any list that has the word film composer in it.
4. James Newton Howard - His work with Hanz Zimmer on the Dark Knight is where most people will probably have heard his name, but Howard has many great scores under his belt. I personally liked his work in M. Night's movies.
3. Clint Mansell - For a composer with such a limited filmography Mansell has made some of the most memorable and emotional scores in the last few years. His Requiem for a Dream score is by far the highlight of his career with the infamous Lux Aeterna, which keeps turning up in trailers for movies of a far less calliber. He's got great talent and is becoming a household name in the world of film composing.
2. John Williams - The man has just scored so many damn films and his work includes some the most memorable compositions in cinema history... Jaws, Indiana Jones, Close Encounters, Star Wars, etc. Out of respect he deserves the number one spot, but I feel that's like giving Citizen Kane the number one spot on the best movie list... Lets let someone else have a turn.
1. Hans Zimmer - I find Zimmer to be one of the most overlooked composers out there... I just love his scores so much. He knows which notes to hit to trigger the right emotion. His Pirates of the Caribbean scores are probably the best examples of scores that simply made the movies, both films give me goosebumps everytime I hear them. His work with the Lion King, The Prince of Egypt, Sherlock Holmes, The Da Vinci Code and Modern Warfare 2 are other great works that really prove the man knows what he's doing.
Next time you're watching a film, make sure to check out who scored it!
And if you're looking for a score, make sure to contact me and we'll discuss it!

Welcome to Scores for the Rebel Filmmaker
After a long period of taking requests from indie filmmakers to make quality scores tailored for their films; I began to see that there just isn’t a place dedicated to connecting aspiring filmmakers with film composers.
There are a ton of musicians willing to have their work heard and we all know how important audio is to a movie.
This blog will offer many free scores and pieces that can be used within your non-commercial projects as well as giving the rebel filmmakers out there a chance to make requests for customized scores for low to no cost (depending on the project).
I'm also looking into selling premium content such as multi-track songs, compilation CDs and even soundtracks to films that I've scored. This is great for us to make some money to keep the project running, but also for the filmmakers because it’s free publicity!
Keep coming back for updates and check out the links for some free scores and some samples of premium content!
Cheers!
SJ McKay
