Chapter 211: Music: Start!

"With the game industry in a messy through with a lot of unreliable factors, going for it would be a difficult one to do." Alexander muttered. "With Milla's current track of progress and the music industries much relative ease, the obvious choice had always been clear to see."

He seemed to have overcomplicated things by plastering industries to respective girls and having them duke it out.

Of course, his business mutterings were overheard by the unsuspecting duo. They didn't know what the game and music topic was for but Courteney and Milla felt that it was quite suspicious for someone like Alex to ask around about supposedly mundane stuff like that.

They knew with their lady hunches and established facts that nothing is mundane when it came to Alexander Creed.

Courteney knew from her research and mingling with Creed employees while Milica knew from her experience of watching this friend of hers and getting to know the true meaning of perfunctory.

Friend Alex may be perfunctory on some stuff but stuff that involves keywords such as 'progress' and 'industry' meant business... Creed business.

"Uhm... You shouldn't take my word much on the gaming industry though." Courteney felt that her casual remark must have some serious implications, so she had to make things clear now. "I've been out of the business for a while and my job during my time in Bethesda isn't even anything that integral. I could connect you up with a friend of mine though."

"The information you have is more than okay, Miss Cox." Alexander appeased the somewhat worried lady. "Everything related to gaming might have to wait a while. A much accomplishable option is now what I'm going for, after all."

"Does it have something to do with singing?" Milla wanted to feel included in their conversation and found her chance. "Wouldn't that mean that I would be part of that as well? Hehe!"

This meant that Alex's attention would be turned to her now and not be hogged by the older hateful girl he was partnered up with.

"It won't be just singing though but music as a whole." Alexander corrected. "Besides, you still have a lot of training to do Milla. I'm just thinking of laying the groundwork early."

Of course, he had to set up a lot of things for a supposed music endeavor to be enough to stop his grandfather's Alex acting plan.

Alexander's thoughts drifted on what he should do and he was more or less quite looking forward to it.

Unlike voice acting where he was reluctant to take part in and 'acting' that he didn't want any part in at all, diving into the realm of music seemed much more interesting to do.

A curve appeared on his mostly rested lips while the onlooking duo had their own respective takeaways from it.

For Milla, Alex's rare smile was quite cherishable as always. She can't wait to talk about this discovery to her long-time friends from old Creed Comics HQ. In a way, she was considered one of Creed's direct sources for little boss gossip.

As for Miss Courteney Cox, she felt that her entire journey in this Creed branded stuff seemed much more adventurous than everything else.

It's not every day when you get to meet and work with a boy that seemed much unreal the more you interacted with him.

The boy's outside achievement was already amazing enough but why did it have to be piled up with method acting talents as well? Now, she had just witnessed the boy decide on going into the music business and it is quite a surreal thing.

Anyways, her perceptions of the world have been overturned and she didn't want to find out what would happen if it would be overturned again.

-----

In any case and after all that, the music plan was afoot!

Fortunately, Alexander's current work focus happens to be near the same spot as the musical instruments as well.

Being the 'sound' compartment of Creed Animations, the 'sound' part says it all.

Throughout the start of what he dubbed as Musical May, Alexander had just been spectating as the animation music team did their magic... or at least what they paid and hired to do.

Seasoned Hayao had shaped the team up to fit the needs of the animation production. Anyways, their recorded compositions were not anything groundbreaking at all since they were just simple accompaniments and arrangements of musical keys.

Essentially, they were basic stuff that many animation productions used. The banging of drums to simulate this and the re-organizing of the synth to try emulating that.

These were some of the techniques that were used as a guide throughout Alexander's dubbing and they were already quite good in that role.

However, the true thematic parts that truly encapsulate the background still haven't been produced and the music team was still slugging along to make ends meet.

The music team's hirees were somewhat professionals in their respective rights and instruments but they weren't truly capable enough to make musical assemblies and dabble in composition.

From the production memo, it is mentioned that a man named Alan Silvestri was hired by Old Sullivan to be the musical counterpart of what Seasoned Hayao was doing.

The Silvestri guy would be a sort of a tutor for the music team of Creed Animations.

Alexander had no qualms with that at all. He had no note of the Alan Silvestri name at all but when the score composer of the iconic Back to the Future theme was assigned to it, there were notable dings that popped up.

It is said that the man is still working with Innovative Rob though. Back to the Future is nearing release, so the busyness of everyone involved can be explained.

Old Sullivan may seem not so busy with his current meddlings but that is because the old man had scheduled a lot of things to accommodate what he should accommodate.

Either way, the Silvestri guy was still not around and the music team was in a sort of a paused standby.

Alexander could take that chance to 'play' around and advance his music-al cause.

Voice acting had breaks and those breaks should be enough for him to work things out. Resourcefulness and strategy are key for many things to work out after all.

Of course, commanding a team of musicians and sound specialists was an easy thing once he used his Creed little boss privilege.

Everything wouldn't be as simple as asking the drummer to beat on drums and to have the guitarist strung strings.

There are a lot of nuances to everything and Alexander had to make sure that his move would be anti-acting all the way.

His cheaty "natural acting talent" made an amazing mark, so it was best that this musical move would knock that out of the park.

It was best to garner the old Creed's attention as well. He was the one to convince and beat in this Creed scheming wars after all.

Either way, Alexander's plan had long been set up and he was frankly quite roaring to go. His thoughts have been churning since the music option had been decided on and it seems to have built up quite a momentum.

Alexander's gears turned as his attempt in the field of music had started!

The prime directive: All in the name of not being an actor!
