Been listening to this all week along with a deeper variation of the core piano theme – the strings need editing but you can hear where they’re going. I love the initial C# where the top string comes in – it delivers a subtle spookiness which is appropriate I think for this theme! Don’t forget [...]

Podcast: Play in new window

Have arrived at the actual tempo – 108 bpm – slowing it right down and leaving huge amounts of space for the strings. This is the first run of many to really dial it in and see where the voices sit – no mixing – just a little panning and the occasional clam… And who [...]
