Cue of the Week: “Into the West”

This week’s cue is… a little hard to describe. But it’s safe to call it a rhythmic pastiche of Western folk music elements, also including a few instruments (like bowed vibraphone) that you wouldn’t find on the average ranch.

Cue of the Week: “The Test”

This week’s selection underscores a scene from the film Against Time, in which a classroom of high schoolers slyly cheat their way through a tough exam, and the film’s protagonist faces a temptation to do likewise. The scene is both a test in the number two pencil sense, as well as one of integrity. My approach here was to both musically capture the subterfuge of the smirking cheaters, and suggest that something deeper was at stake.
