Film Music (For an Exit)
for orchestra
"Film Music (For an Exit)" is inspired by the innovative and genre-bending music of the acclaimed English rock band Radiohead. Within this piece I draw upon Radiohead's distinct sonic palette and their penchant for pushing the boundaries of traditional song structures, infusing orchestral elements with a sense of unpredictability and emotional depth. At the heart of "Film Music (For an Exit)" lies a captivating ostinato which, in true Radiohead fashion, is richly layered, evolving and transforming as the composition progresses. As the title suggests, the piece also possesses a cinematic quality, evoking the atmosphere of a climactic scene in a film by capturing a sense of urgency, anticipation, and release.
