This week’s selection is an orchestral cue which opens with what I like to call a bustling dreamy quality, then segues to a more tranquil and pastoral feeling.

And in other news, check out my interview with Goldstar! (Yes, the same Goldstar that sells live event tickets.)

This week’s cue, a bit of documentary music, blends proud strings and horns over a contemporary beat.

This week’s selection is a dark and brooding theme for orchestra, with the strings playing a leading role.

Some cues create such impact that the moment of their creation becomes a powerful and lingering memory. This is not one of those cues.

Don’t quote me, but I believe I wrote this blues tune about a year after grad school. If pressed further I would say it was for some kind of multimedia presentation for a pharmaceuticals company. Or tourism company? In any case, I think it’s kind of catchy, so I hope you enjoy.

This is an older cue, but I think it’s aged reasonably well so keep it in circulation. The main attraction here is the out-of-tune piano which creepily punctuates the piece. This kind of effect is normally called “prepared piano”, but in this case I didn’t prepare the instrument so much as take advantage of the fact that it was already out of tune. 🙂
