Synopsis:
Lt. Dave Robicheaux, a detective in New Iberia, Louisiana, is
trying to link the murder of a local hooker to New Orleans
mobster Julie (Baby Feet) Balboni, who is co-producer of a
Civil War film. At the same time, after Elrod Sykes, the star
of the film, reports finding another corpse in the Atchafalaya
Swamp near the movie set, Robicheaux starts another
investigation, believing the corpse to be the remains of a
black man who he saw being murdered 35 years
before.

A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER |
The challenge in crafting the score for In the
Electric Mist was to become familiar enough with the Cajun
influences of the Bayou that they could become an integral part of
the score and not merely source material that the score was written
around. Buck and I traveled down to Dirk Powell's home studio and
spent time listening to and recording various soloists and ensembles
that Dirk knew - coming to grasp with the mixolydian mode which is
at the heart of the Cajun harmonic language. I transcribed a number
of classic themes - one of which ("Les Filles de Vermillion" or
"Vermillion Girls") became the theme for the murdered girls in the
story. After we came back to L.A. and Buck processed some of these
field recordings, we headed up to Skywalker to record chamber
orchestra over it. The haunting images that Bertrand captures on
film inspired a unique blend of idiomatic and classic musical
orchestration, which hopefully serves its purpose in the
film. |
