Villainous Treachery "Villainous Treachery" Instruments: Piano Feel: Dark, Intense The melody for this piece is in the bass keys, while the high notes play a headache-splitting constant rhythm. At the one-minute mark the high-pitched notes drop several octaves to play a crunched staccato before returning to the previous theme. The last thirty seconds feature drawn out chords, and the tempo slows dramatically, ending with frustrated trills in both registers, signaling the demise of the villain.

Iron Horse - Distressed "Iron Horse - Distressed" Instruments: Piano Feel: Dark, Driving, Intense Darkly plodding, this staccato piano piece is the tense setting for the classic silent film scene: the heroine is tied to the train tracks, the steam engine train plugging along towards her. The chug-a-chug feel is maintained by a tense hammering of the chords in triplets, depicting machinery or chaos set in motion without an end in sight.

Failing Defense "Failing Defense" Instruments: Brass, Percussion, Xylophone, Strings Feel: Action, Aggressive, Intense, Suspenseful This piece begins immediately with horn blasts, strings, and a bone-jangling xylophone. After the brief intro the horns play a melody, then the horns drop away away except tribal drums and staccato string bursts. The music returns in a big way, suggestive of a tense battle, as the instruments compete against each other, until the rapid discordant end.

Pop Goes the Weasel "Pop Goes the Weasel" Instruments: Strings, Percussion, Toy Piano Feel: Dark, Eerie, Intense, Unnerving Heavy bass drums and an string bass set the tone for this dark and menacing tone. The familiar refrain then plays, but is made expressive and almost violent as it is played on several string basses and cellos. The pace is rather quick and forceful, and after the quick ending, a jack-in-the-box plays, normally child-like, but made creepy because of the sinister music that came before.

Redletter "Redletter" Instruments: Strings, Synths Feel: Dark, Eerie, Intense, Suspenseful, Unnerving High-pitched strings play above a low drone, while fuzzy noises and cymbal rolls flow throughout. The high strings crescendo and quickly cut out as if a knife sliced their throats. A somber melody plays in the final minute, and the noises crescendo and come at you from every angle, symbolic of an attack and a gruesome finale.

The House of Leaves "The House of Leaves" Instruments: Harp, Violins, Percussion, Synths Feel: Dark, Eerie, Intense, Suspenseful, Unnerving A simple harp refrain plays a child?s melody, but is torn apart by discordant screeching noises, thumps, growls, and mechanical noises.

Finding the Balance "Finding the Balance" Instruments: Bass, Percussion, Synths, Voice Feel: Bright, Grooving, Intense The beginning is calm with the Middle Eastern dudek playing the melody. As the electronic elements melt into the dudek and the plucked strings, the groove is established. Just into the third minute the melody changes to beautiful and touching, but returns to the feel of the intro, while a woman?s voice sings a haunting melody in a distant language. This is music of wonder, and is best as exposition music for a film about nature or a group of people struggling to survive.
