Cue of the Week: The Bedroom
This week's selection the steamy bedroom music from action/suspense flick HellBent.
This scene is particularly interesting because of its eerie similarity to a moment in another film I scored, Siren. Both are ostensible seduction scenes that ultimately don't result in any seduction being accomplished. Both are somewhat ethereal in visual style, both involve same-sex couples (two men in HellBent, two women in Siren), and both, astoundingly, culminate in one party's blowing cigarette smoke into the face of the other in slow motion.
My music to both scenes was somewhat similar, though not intentionally so. Given the striking visual parallelism, I'm not surprised that I came up with similar ideas in both cases. (Part of the similarity comes from my tapping into the skills of guitarist Tom Strahle in both cues.) Next week I'll play the analogous cue from Siren.
