Film Scoring Class - The Reader

Hey Anomalies!

This is another score I worked on for the film scoring class I took at CalArts. The teacher (who I absolutely cannot stand) said it did not fit but my classmates liked it and said it reminded them of music from a movie thriller or TV show like Dexter. I can't even get into how many crazy discussions we had in that class and how we fought against the teacher on many occasions because she was straight whack.

Anyhow, I've never actually seen this film but I knew what it was about and tried to capture the devastation and horrification of the subject matter. I added voices towards the end for a human element to emphasis the loss of human lives.

I ended up falling in love with the music itself and like to listen to it on its own from time to time. I call it Uranus. I'll post that separately. Uranus is my zodiac planet (Aquarius) and what I love about it is that it's odd, unpredictable and takes it's sweet ass time.
