Mirrortone has been working with film director Cullen Metcalf-Kelly on the score for his new short film Lucas Cain. It’s a revenge story set in the dark recesses of the rural south. I don’t want to give too much away about the story, but the film looks amazing as it was shot on 35mm film and has a real gritty vibe to it. The score is dark for sure, we’re trying to capture the sound of the demons inside the two main characters. Parts of it will be stylized, but we’re going for a raw, primitive vibe. The plan is to start with organic instrumentation and manipulate it into an otherworldly score. There’s been some accordion, harmonium, cello, and electric guitar so far, but the palette will continue to expand I’m sure. We’ll keep you posted on the progress and hopefully when the film will be hitting the festival circuit. Check-in at www.cullenmk.com
