Sasquatch (H. Scott Salinas)

Original score from the 2021 documentary series directed by Joshua Rofé, produced by Number 19 and released by Hulu (USA).

THE STORY: Follows investigative journalist David Holthouse as he attempts to solve a bizarre twenty-five year old triple homicide that was said to be the work of a mythical creature.

THE SCORE: “At its core, Sasquatch is about the unknown and how mankind’s innate fear of what creature might be lurking around the corner at any given moment plays into larger tropes in our society. The goal of the score was to take the viewer to that uncomfortable place where you are deep in the forest and it’s getting dark soon and you suddenly don’t want to be there anymore. Every sound in the score was carefully curated to have an unnerving quality – percussion made out of leaves being crushed underfoot, a distant and distorted organ, strings slowed down and warbled, pianos played through guitar amps and recorded down a long hallway, The main thematic thrust is an inevitable and prodding chord progression that keeps you on your toes but never really resolves and contains just a hint of backwoods mountain flavors with low and deliberate echos of bluegrass twang.” – H. Scott Salinas
