about
Written as my first project during the film scoring intensive at the Accademia Musicale Chigiana during the summer of 2023.
This scene depicts the final struggle between Daniel Plainview and Eli Sunday in the movie There Will Be Blood, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson. Daniel is deranged from the start of this scene to the finish, but to me there's an element of ritual performance to the rhythms in his screaming violence, maybe a little "rite of spring". I wrote something to play to and highlight the rhythms already present in the actors' performance, a menacing folk dance.
