This week’s selection is an ambient musical atmosphere evoking wheat stalks gently swaying under blue skies. (I’ll leave it up to you as to whether The Windswept Fields would make a good name for a band.)

The Windswept Fields | |
This week’s selection, which also currently accompanies the splash page of my website, is a dark and melodic orchestral cue with a hint of otherworldly flavor.

The Storm Gathers | |
This week’s selection is actually a combo of two orchestral cues from successive scenes in a film: a late-night research session fraught with unexpected discovery, and a morning departure from a rustic mountain farm.

Leaving the Ranch | |
In honor of Friday the 13th, here’s some chilling and supernaturally-flavored music from the climax of Cleve Nettles’ forthcoming film Healers. This cue features a small choir (made to sound much larger via the miracle of overdubbing) and the handiwork of a very talented anonymous cellist.

An Otherworldly Revenge | |
If you’re a composer for hire, every now and then you have to write something like this. It’s a guilty pleasure. Non, je ne regrette rien.

Groove Pastiche | |
This week’s selection is a wry and somewhat French-flavored solo piano cue. I took a few editorial liberties with this “album” version of the music, making it a bit more playful and free now that it’s no longer tied to the timing of the scene it originally accompanied.

The Uninvited Guest | |
An all-night study montage is musically depicted with mallet instruments, solo string pizzicato, and other pleasant eccentricities.

The Cram Session | |
Guzheng soloist Su Chang displays a sensitive command of her instrument in this haunting passage with harp, strings, and bass clarinet. This is an excerpt from the recent album release of Identity: Zhongshan Zhuang, a concerto for guzheng and orchestra.
The full album, which also contains several solo guzheng pieces, is available from most online music retailers, including iTunes and Amazon.
