The Mailbox (2006)


I composed the score for Huy Chheng's short film about Chinese immigrants in the Fall of 2006. My first instict was to do a very ambient score with hints of Chinese instruments. Huy however wanted something melodic and piano-driven. So, I combined those two ideas and created a work that I was very proud of when I finished. The ba-wu, a Chinese flute with a copper-reed, lends a very gentle but sad effect to the music.
