A memory turns bitter. From the soundtrack of the Lifetime movie Secrets Beneath the Floorboards. The expressive cello performance comes courtesy of Simone Vitucci.

Warm remembrance turns to disquiet in this cue from the soundtrack of Secrets Beneath the Floorboards.

p.s. There’s a whole movie to go with this music. Stream the film on Lifetime Networks!

Following a rather busy winter, I’m pleased to say that the Cue of the Week blog / mailing list is back! (If you remember the last post, you may find this opening amusing.)

This week’s selection comes from my score for the Lifetime movie Secrets Beneath the Floorboards. Following the flavor of the opening music, this is a rustic folksy theme that accompanies the protagonist’s getting out of Dodge for a lakeside country home. (Thrills and romance will ensue.)

This week’s selection is the first track I composed for Lifetime’s Secrets Beneath the Floorboards, a thriller about a widow who discovers that her husband was into what we’ll politely call some shady business. Our protagonist struggles to clean up the mess and, BTW, also save her own life from a highly motivated stalker. (Needless to say, this provided lots of opportunities for tense music.)

Secrets takes place in a rustic environment, which inspired the acoustic guitar as well as the washboard-esque percussion. There are also some less-familiar sounds that add a dash of what’s going on here?, to use the technical term.

p.s. If you’d like to hear the music in context, you can watch the film over at Lifetime!

This week’s selection is planning music from the game Wizard Ops Tactics, specifically for the winter level. Per timeless game music tradition, winter is evoked through high-register strings and other treble-y instruments.

This week’s music selection continues the series from the game Wizard Ops Tactics. This cue evokes a mix of childlike sweetness and ominous danger, as befits a level with a split personality!
