Cue of the Week: “Getting Busy”

This week’s cue comes from the recently-released score album for the film Home Room, wherein Alicia Browning (Busy Philipps) attempts to spring a friend from a psychiatric hospital.

The scene has a somewhat impish tone, so I picked instrumentation that was brighter than the moodier palette I’d used thus far in the score. Featured are twelve-string guitar, hammered dulcimer, an African percussive instrument called an udu and other percussive goodies. All played by living breathing human beings!

(And yes, the title is a weak pun on the actor’s name.)
