Not sure I could define a particular mood but a collection of shifting feelings that sometimes collect into something plausible. OR just knuckling down to a deadline! https://on.soundcloud.com/QUSxJ56An4jE443i7

Justin Wildridge I do my best to avoid deadlines hahahaha. I compose primarily from inspiration. Do you work well with deadlines?

Unfortunately, they are a hazard of this profession. Oddly enough, when I tend to work far more efficiently when deadlines are there. It's a real love/hate thing!

Justin Wildridge I hear that. I suppose that is why I never wanted music to be my career . . . I didn't want the pressure. It's nice that I've been able to blend the two worlds.

Kat Spencer I started with modeling, music and acting at age 5 and from about age 7 I longed to be behind the camera providing the story and visuals rather than be in front of the camera. I'm 65 now (still the 7 year old dreamer!) with a successful career in music. and started officially in 2004 combining my lifestyle as a Harley Davidson rider and film maker. My point is you can do both dear and blend them if you have the skills.

As a composer, I try and write to the emotions within the film / video.
My own own mood does not matter. Granted, I think you mean what's the general sound emotion over a few different videos, right ? I do notice some of my work has a melancholy / laid back feel sometimes, ... kind of like my Drumming.
My drumming is really good ! ... and do best to play to the feel and emotion of the tune / music.
