                    | Synopsis:
      This 
                  drama follows Long Island farmer Abe Woodhull, who bands 
                  together a group of childhood friends to form The Culper Ring, 
                  an unlikely group of spies who turn the tide in America's 
                  fight for independence. |  |

        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.
