I'm composing the finishing touches on Christianna Carmine's satirical dark comedy Live and Try in L.A. I was asked to do a mixture of Spaghetti Western and elevator muzak to give it is tongue-in-cheek flavor. It opens with low and dark ambience that brings in the Shirt Theme. "Totally Cliche Job" puts a saloon-style piano in the middle of an easy-listening waltz while "The Waiting Room" brings this theme into Latin groove muzak. "Showdown in the War Room" and "Drive into the Desert" bring an air of Spaghetti Western. The end credits is a quirky celebration of the absurdity of life.
