Desiree (Bill Brown)
Original score from the 2014 crime thriller feature directed by Ross Clarke, starring Ron Perlman, Walton Goggins and Kate Walsh, produced by Upload Films and released by Vision Films (USA).
THE STORY: An inspired experimental chemist, wakes up in a New Orleans jail, accused of arson that’s linked to an illegal drug-manufacturing ring. Suffering from amnesia, he’s unexpectedly released on bail, determined to find his missing girlfriend.
THE SCORE: “The score needed to reflect how Eric is haunted by fragments of memories, his confusion and frustration. I felt to really get inside that character musically, I needed an instrument in the studio that reflected all of that, so I bought this beautiful 100+ year old upright grand piano and set it up in my recording space. When I sent [director] Ross Clarke ‘I Remember’, one of the last and most integral cues in the film, he got really excited. I remember playing it for him live to picture later in the studio. He told me it transformed the movie, and his emotional reaction inspired me to take the piece even further in the next weeks, bringing in my friend Tina Guo to perform the beautiful cello parts throughout. Every cue has meaning for me personally, as it relates to the depth of visual poetry Ross created with his film.” – Bill Brown
