West World Scoring Competition Entry (2020) Created By: Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan
This is my entry for the Spitfire/HBO scoring competition for an Episode of WestWorld. This was in no way commissioned by HBO or Westworld producers. It follows a high action car chase scene while one of the characters is under the influence of a drug called "Genre" which makes him live out different movie genres in the real world.

Looking For Frank (2020) Directed by: Bron Theron
A short noir about a detective searching for an unlikely subject.
A F'ing Cat Cue: I wanted the music to be bouncy and jazzy, but with comedic beats. I described my style in this as "The Naked Gun" meets Debussy.
Table Manners (2020) Directed by: Christopher Brown
The sacrifices a family has made to bring food on the table.
Grace Cue: I wrote to signify the intimate nature of a family dinner, which is why I used a solo piano, but harmonically it signals the demeanor of every individual at the table. It explores a naive and innocent, the broken, the grateful, and the shameful under a recurring theme of sacrifice.
Table Manners (2020) Directed by: Christopher Brown
The sacrifices a family has made to bring food on the table.
Sacrifice Cue: This has more of a military vibe to it. It is subtle with a single horn and as the father's story builds tension, it also has an underlying crescendo of dissonant strings for effect.
Looking For Frank (2020) Directed by: Bron Theron
A short noir about a detective searching for an unlikely subject.
Girl's Bathroom: This was a good chance to do some "Mickey Mousing" techniques within the constraints of the instrumentation and style I wrote in for this short.

An alien woman crawls out of the earth and discovers a lonely astronomer who helps her return to the stars before a band of nerdy conspiracy theorists can capture her.
