Cue of the Week: “Not Steve Jobs”

This music from Secrets Beneath the Floorboards walks a fine line with respect to tone. In the corresponding scene, a would-be entrepreneur confesses his failures and opens up to our protagonist. It’s a moment of bonding — but at the same time we’re not entirely sure how we feel about this guy.

My approach was a piece for the lower string instruments, small-scale rather than cushily symphonic, blending pathos with a bit of darkness and ambiguity.

Apart from the music below, there’s a bit of bonus content this week: a short blog post with my thoughts about new AI technologies and music.
