Today I got to collaborate with my good friend, Emily Bond. We've worked before on some film projects that she's helped me score, so we decided to compose an instrumental piece for a non-existent movie. It took about 3 hours to write. If you enjoy this piece, you can check out more of Emily's music at http://emilybondmusic.com/
Boring Details: Emily and I have been meeting weekly for over a decade as part of a musical goal-setting group, and we've worked together on a number of projects. She's either scored some short films that I directed or helped me with additional music for short films I was charged with scoring. She has a very unique cinematic style, and this piece just barely touches on what she does.
Years ago, we put together some movie-less film music (an couple pieces about an alien abduction), so we decided to give that another go. She had recently had a discussion with someone who'd had a bad experience with a former boss, so we were going to do a piece that expressed the dread of leaving your safe place at home to go to a job environment you hate. It didn't seem like we'd get to the office with this piece, so instead we concentrated on waking up, drinking coffee, taking a shower, then the stark transition once you leave the house and drive to work.
This was a really fun collaboration. If you all like it, maybe we'll compose a sequel that takes place in the office.
