(0:00) Early morning.  Some images of a quiet neighborhood. Cut to the house.  Dissolve inside the house...
(0:18) A middle age woman walks inside the living room of her house.  She’s carrying a cup of coffee and her cell phone.  She just woke up and yet she’s still not completely awake.
(0:36) As she walks near the table where she's going to have her breakfast, she realizes that there's a note on top of the chair where she's about to sit.
(0:50)  She sits, grabs the note and begins to read it.
(1:00)  Her expression becomes "dark" and little by little she begins to cry, although it's a repressed crying.
(1:22)  Suddenly, her twelve-year old daughter walks in and the woman tries to dissimulate her sorrow and make as if nothing happens.
Her cell phone rings (1:30) MX OUT.

The death of the Hero-Orchestral/Romantic

This was a cue written for the portuguese short-film "Lei da Gravidade" (Law of Gravity). I'm extremely proud of having been part of this project. I love the film and everybody who worked on it (Director, Producer and Actors) are extremely talented people that have inspired me to write this and other wonderful cues. It's a privilege and an honour to work with people like this!
I'm also very proud of this piece, not only for the music itself (and what it expresses), but also for its recording. It was recorded at the one and only AIR Studios, Lyndhurst Hall, London, UK, by an orchestra of dream musicians, that made this sound even better than I could've ever imagined! Thank you so much to all of them!!!
The session was engineered by the Jake Jackson and later mixed by Pablo Schuller.
The orchestra contractor was Hilary Skewes.
A special thank you to Lucio Godoy, Alfons Conde and Vanessa Garde for making this happen.
