You can purchase the main piano theme HERE, or listen to it HERE. This creepy piano theme was simple, and explored some new harmonic tricks that I hadn’t tried in the past. Similar to the last horror film I scored, “Coming Home”, the piano part actually came to me about 1 week before I was even offered the gig. Between these distorted synths, some creepy atmospheric sound design, and the main piano theme, this short film gave me the opporutnity to permutate these themes, blend them together, and really tap into how each theme related to the characters.
The theme for Clare, the grandma, turned out to be a more Rob Zombie inspired distorted synth part, and somehow it worked beautifully. Since the film’s lead villain is a grandma I didn’t expect to take the compositional approach that I did, but the contrast really paid off. This was a GREAT opportunity for me to tap into my love for horror films and sound design. Scoring the short horror film “ The Rage” and composing a song for a Marc Anthony commercial and Tiktok campaign. Which leads me to my two biggest compositial projects to day. While my business didn’t expand as I was hoping, it was nice to take the reduced hours as a way to improve the website, my shopify store, and other entrepreneural activities. I’m lucky that my living space has a set-up for online lessons and I had some very loyal students stick with me through the year. 2020 was off to a great start, and then COVID-19 hit.
