This week’s selection is the orchestral main theme of the film Against Time, a family-friendly time travel adventure featuring familiar faces such as Robert Loggia and Craig T. Nelson. The mood I aimed for here was one of yearning and nostalgia, with such a hint of mysterious sci-fi goings-on.

Against Time | |
I normally write a little introduction to each music selection I post here, but in this case the title pretty much says it all.

Zombie Attack | |
Written for a cemetery scene in the film The F-Zone, this cue is somber but has some lyrical qualities as well. In the middle section I harmonize a solo flute with four double basses, rather than the more conventional approach of throwing in every cello and bass available. It’s an interesting sound, almost a bit medieval, and distinctly funereal in mood.

A Lost Brother | |
How’s that for a grim cue name? Don’t worry, this week’s cue picks up in optimism after its melancholy bassoon-solo opening. Composed for a cut scene in Empire Earth 2, and performed by the Budapest Film Orchestra.

Defeat and Resolve | |
This week’s selection is some brooding orchestral dystopian-future music, courtesy of one of the cut scenes from Empire Earth 2. (No implication intended about anyone’s actual future.)
