A short cue for a scene from the movie 2012. You can find the video with my audio added here:

This was my first attempt at putting music to film, a scene from the movie 2012 directed by Roland Emmerich - this scene starring Danny Glover and Karin Konoval. When I set about scoring this scene I actually didn’t realize it was from the movie 2012, which is a blockbuster disaster movie, and not the kind of movie I had pictured at all. My score I think reflects that misunderstanding; my take was very nostalgic and schmaltzy, and I think if I had known the context of this scene in the movie I would have included more tension, more of a sense of lurking danger. I like what that says, though, about the importance of the score, in that without music, this scene really could have come from any sort of movie. The score can serve as a throughline, reminding the viewer/listener of the broader emotional context of each scene, when the scene itself might not be delivering that context.

This was done as a part of my application portfolio for the 2023 film scoring intensive program at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana
