A good challenge for sure. But if you include a bit of sound design used in a musical way you might find your music has more impact when it is there. Or not!
Are you creating a Logic song for each cue you do? Or are you using 1 master song to write in?

Yes, each cue is a separate session.

I'm really looking forward to hearing some (or indeed all) of this when it's finished, as it's a fascinating project!

Sorry, I got called into a work call earlier and wanted to respond to the first part of your post but had to run!
My thinking is not too far off from yours in that regard, as there will be some ambient/drone/soundscape cues as well, it won't just be a collection of 2 minute synth jams.
Re: New synth challenge -- scoring a silent film!
One other thing, Ben. The film doesn’t have timecode. But if you have a Master song set up correctly with the film and you always make your music sections from this Master then the final mix of each cue, if done as bwav, can always be automatically lined up in the Master at it’s correct start time with the handy Key Command - Move Region To Recorded Position.

Started work on Scene 3 last night, and my first long cue at about five minutes. Feels great to stretch out with some filtered noise and an ominous Lyra-8 drone!

Happy to give feedback if that could be useful.

Re: New synth challenge -- scoring a silent film!
Since I started setting up the JV-1080 as a single Berlin School synth, I now see where workstations come into play in media composition: everything in sync and in tune, and the speed in which you can work is so much faster than with the modular.
I’ve pretty much decided that for this project to succeed I am going to have to approach it using the same single-synth solution as the live rig.
The modular is perfect for making music where I can spend days or weeks setting up a patch, but it’s a real buzz kill for me to have to re tune and re patch just to start working, especially since my time to work on this challenge is limited. Having something already set up and ready to go will be a huge help, as well as keep the palette consistent.
I will give it a go tonight and see how I fare!

You've just blown my mind!
