Dreams In The Witch House OST

Dreams In The Witch House Intro

Dreams In The Witch House - Intro

This music was inspired by the recent premiere and CANNES 2023 OFFICIAL SELECTION:  CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT.  You can see the film September 24th at Fantastic Fest in Austin, TX and late September at Beyond Fest in Los Angeles, CA.

While this track is not in the movie, the instrumentation, sound palette and feel is directly inspired by the film.  

I composed the film score with a hybrid palette in mind, using organic instruments, percussion as well as found sound, audio manipulation and vintage analog synthesizers.   I was posed with the question - what would the score sound like if they composed it in 1979-1980 using the above sound palette with modern-listener and viewer sensibilities?

Absolute Power Corrupts

Inspired by CALIGULA: THE ULTIMATE CUT soundtrack by myself. A version of this was used at intermissions during the release screenings at FANTASTICFEST, CANNES FILM FESTIVAL 2023 and many more.
