Cue of the Week: Jay Returns Home

My apologies for skipping last week. Work became a bit all-encompassing, and writing new music gets priority over celebrating old music. (Although the latter is a lot easier and more immediately gratifying.)

This week we turn to the rock side of the music spectrum, with a cue from Michele Fiore-Kaime's feature Siren. Somewhere in-between a personal growth story and and a fun "band movie", Siren's subject matter called for a contemporary score that felt stylistically compatible with the songs performed in the film.

The scene for this particular cue is just an establishing shot of the protagonist's husband pulling up into his driveway, but I kinda liked it musically. Guitar - and you'll hear me say this a lot with regards to this particular score - by the multitalented and always-chipper Tom Strahle.

Oh, I totally agree. I would have loved to run with this for another minute or so at least. Sadly, I would have spilled over into the next scene. :)

If we get around to a soundtrack album, I'll definitely think about doing a remix of this cue into longer form.

Thanks for the credit. It's a short yet thoughtful cue that I'd forgotten about. I always enjoy working with you. I guess we were, uh..., making beautiful music together. We'll talk soon I'm sure.

Your friend,

Tom Strahle
