Cue of the Week: Fight and Tragedy

Here's the next installment in the Against Time score series, a piece which accompanies the heated debate between Robert Loggia and Ean Merrig's characters, and the tragic consequences that follow. This cue normally goes by a more "spoliersh" name, but in light of the film's upcoming release I didn't want to reveal any plot points. (Especially since the film's director reads this journal and I fear his wrath.)

Most of this cue is what you would call classic underscore. It's meant to sit beneath dialogue, and so provides mounting ambient tension without getting in the way. There is something of a payoff at the end, however - so good things will come to those who listen to bass and cello pedals supplemented with ambient sampled textures. As the saying goes.
