Focusing on the breath

Seuraaja (The Follower) is a film released by Runoelma Films in 2013. This track contains my (the composer's) personal favorites from the soundtrack.

Please visit the Runoelma Films homepage (http://www.runoelmafilms.fi/) for more information about the film and the company. The complete film is also available in HD on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOy0e7kpbZg, as well as the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7I-TPhqAU2k.

Brief history and personal notes:
This is the first film score I have ever composed. It is also the first Film produced by Runoelma Films and the debut of director Thomas Laine. Work on the music started early, already before the filming, and continued in parallel with the filming and editing. Almost the whole score is based on a few simple melodic ideas from which more or less abstract variations were developed. The overall mood was decided to be dark with jazzy elements; this was maintained throughout the film. All of the instruments are synthetic, except for the solo trumpet which is played by me.

Highlights from the Seuraaja (The Follower) Soundtrack (2013)

Creation of Earth

Preparing for Eternal Sleep

A impro I did that remind me of something, but I can't remember what...
So in lack of a better name I just called it "A Familiar Theme"  :-D
I guess the chord progression is quite common.
