This week’s selection is another mixed-style suspense cue from the film Healers. I’ll avoid dropping any film spoilers, but as both the title and flow of the music suggest, the score accompanies the protagonist’s discovery that a close relation is… well, let’s just say extremely not nice and leave it at that.

The rhythmic mandolin loop that enters about halfway through represents art through tech failure. The sound’s audiofile on my hard drive was corrupted, resulting in a particular hazy and haunting tone. I’ve lost the original CD-ROM, so am not sure what it was originally supposed to sound like, but I loved the evocative color of the “broken” sound and so decided to use it for this scene.

	A Dark Discovery

This week’s selection starts as a theme for piano and voice, then segues into a stylistically eclectic end title featuring cello over industrial-style beats. From the forthcoming supernatural thriller Healers, directed by Cleve Nettles and Korhan Gurocak.

The edgy cello performance is by Cameron Stone, and the hauntingly beautiful vocals are by recording artist Jennifer Lindsay.

	New Life

This week’s selection is the defeat music I wrote for the video game Star Trek Conquest. For a visual, imagine a Federation starship in ruins… or perhaps an Academy freshman failing the Kobayashi Maru.

	Armada in Defeat

As the great Henry Mancini taught us, sometimes you just gotta write jazzy sneaking music.

	Sneaking the Keys

Accordion (of course) and piano help evoke an overseas wintery musical vignette.

	Winter in Paris

This week’s selection is the orchestral main theme for a political thriller I scored back in the mid-90s, and the first major recording I conducted myself. We tracked at the fondly-remembered O’Henry Recording Studios, which has sadly joined the ranks of retired recording facilities. I was too young at the time to fully appreciate the quality of the union orchestra I had at my disposal, but the rich performance says it all.
