A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER

Percussive elements seem to drive a lot of the dramatic action really well. There are chase scenes, all kinds of different elements and there's such a primitive instrument that was used through all different periods of time, the field drum, so I took liberty with that. The fife has always been associated with Revolutionary War music but unless you were going to battle, it wasn't something you'd normally hear. There are moments where the fife is used but it's not like you'd hear it as a part of the score. There is some slave music, so there were some percussive elements but for the most part there was fiddle, cymbalom, hurdy-gurdy... So these were instruments I thought would be better to employ for the score. The period stuff was more of a question of finding the instrumentation and then manipulating it electronically so it would became more of a modern type sonund. It was more of a question of keeping it sort of creeping in the shadows type of thing.
