This week’s selection is the opening theme to one of my first feature film scores, written for a political thriller called The F-Zone. The moody main theme for strings alternates with a more lyrical secondary melody for oboe, played here by Jon Clarke. Recorded at the (sadly now-defunct) O Henry recording studio.

	The F-Zone (Main Titles)

This week’s selection is a bit of 1940s-esque big band swing, originally written for a poker video game. We recorded with a dynamite pickup ensemble, including some longstanding musical collaborators.

And, since I have your attention: come check out my Facebook artist page, which you can reach via this convenient link. I promise, I won’t invite you to join any agrarian, mafia, or vampire-related online games.

My music has been used in three separate and unrelated adaptations of the novel Anthem: an audio book, a stage play, and now Greg Bowyer’s in-progress feature film project. I wrote this cue to accompany the guy-meets-girl-in-post-apocalyptic-wrecked-society moment early in the film.

This is a very special Cue of the Week – and not just because it’s the first that’s been run in two weeks. Today’s selection is an excerpt from Identity – Zhongshan Zhuang, a concerto for orchestra and guzheng (Chinese zither). This playful passage is an excerpt from our promotional album, which features emulated orchestra but a live recording of guzheng virtuoso Chang Su.

Of course, there’s nothing like the real thing. Those in the Greater Los Angeles area are invited to come to the premiere of the piece tomorrow night, October 24th at 8pm at the San Gabriel Mission Playhouse. Tickets and information may be found at the Hanyii Productions website.

	Identity – Excerpt From Movement 3 (The Grandchildren Play)

Not to be confused with “Tropical Vignette”, run earlier this summer – I really need to come up with more creative cue titles – this week’s selection is an upbeat mix of bass marimba, African and Latin percussion, and the occasional musical oddity. I like to think of it as suggestive of a waterfall, though perhaps a busy one with tropical critters playing about.
