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.

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.)

This week’s cue comes from the most distant recesses of my hard drive. It’s a nod to the Godfather of Soul from a short film I scored when I must have been fresh out of USC. Please feel encouraged to get on up and/or down as your mood dictates.
