The end of the year is near and it’s fitting that I share with you the one track from my #GuessTheRescore challenge that I haven’t included in my advent calendar yet.

Guess-The-Rescore #23 – The Comet
We have arrived at the key moment of the story. The music accompanies the girl who’s tried so much to avoid the catastrophe, but ultimately seems to have failed. The music starts when she has no strength left, spending her last thoughts on her love. Suddenly that gives her the strength to get up, carry… Continue reading Guess-The-Rescore #23 – The Comet
Guess-The-Rescore #22 – The Time Has Come
Though it’s not the last one, this track actually scores the finale of the film. It’s dramatic and functions as a pulse in this long scene which covers many perspectives and characters. Some of them believe that something terrible is about to happen while others expect the same event to be a beautiful sight. How… Continue reading Guess-The-Rescore #22 – The Time Has Come

Guess-The-Rescore #19 – Worried, The Town Gone
Today’s track was not easy to compose. It’s got a lot of psychology in it as it’s about a girl who is worried about the future and expressing that notion to others. There’s some subtle, yet fast changes of mood and, in the end, also a change of scenery. Personal note: I like the french… Continue reading Guess-The-Rescore #19 – Worried, The Town Gone

Awkward music awaits today as three kids prepare for a somewhat childish plan. Enjoy some Mission Impossible heist music clichés embedded in comic relief.

And yes, this is… Continue reading Guess-The-Rescore #18 – Mission Briefing
Guess-The-Rescore #17 – Connection
Today’s track is very special: Firstly, it scores a key scene in which one character experiences scenes from the life of another – past and future. Secondly because it’s the first music I ever wrote which made me actually cry when I listened to it for the first time in sync with the video material.… Continue reading Guess-The-Rescore #17 – Connection
