Cue of the Week: Walking
This is the main title for a suspense-thriller called Dead Line which I scored a number of years ago. Usually I'm reluctant to trot out older cues that are even partially electronically realized, since the state of the art of sampling technology moves so quickly, and older sounds quickly sound dated or fake. In this case, I think the music has aged fairly well, partially due to the phrase samples and live piano.
I'd like to say that the piano was "prepared" to make it especially creepy-sounding, but the fact is that it happened to be terribly out of tune. Fortunately, this worked really well for the scene!

As Count Floyd from SCTV would say...
"Oooooooooo, SCARY!!!"
Re. the out-of-tune piano: Steve Curcuru told me once that half of art is knowing which mistakes to keep.
