This was a project to assemble a definitive composite score to the 1979 Lucio Fulci film Zombie Flesh Eaters (AKA Zombi 2). While a number of retail scores have been released over the years, they all vary slightly on the inclusion/exclusion of certain tracks, and some tracks present in the film are not on any release. I used a total of five CD/DVD sources, to give the most complete version of the soundtrack available. These are the sources; A number of the above soundtracks contained recent re-mix tracks, but none of these were included, just cues specifically composed for the film in 1979. Three score cues used in the film have never been released on any soundtrack, so they have been carefully edited from the movie's audio using Reaper 3.01; an audio multi-sequencing & editing program. Some tracks were simple to edit such as the Autopsy sequence as it played 'cleanly' from start to finish. For others, I had to piece parts of the score together using an audio multi sequencing program, removing as much of the speech and sound effects as I could. I tried to achieve a happy medium between getting the cleanest audio and seamlessly editing each of the parts together, while still keeping each track as long as possible. The Underwater tracks still has some sound sound effects such as water & bubbles, but nothing distracting. You can see the full CD layout with the source information listed against each track.

(Blackest Heart Media - USA 1998 (BHM0001) I used GIMP 2.6.7 to design the CD cover and disc artwork, which heavily drew from the banned 'pre-cert' 1981 Vipco VHS cover, the poster artwork from which has long been a favourite of mine. The CD cover replicated the VHS cover, and the CD label replicated the VHS tape sticker. I obtained a 300dpi scan of an original VHS cover to work from which was scaled up to 600dpi to make life easier. The raw scan was in poor condition and needed a fair amount of digital restoration, even before I could remove all the text & logos to leave an artwork-only image for the CD front cover. Distribution of this project was extremely limited, due both to the diverse nature of the subject film, and the various widely available retail soundtracks, and was never publicly uploaded online or shared with the wider internet. It was distributed on the basis that any recipient should already own at least one CD and one DVD source retail releases used to create it.
