This music was composed twice! The original score was intentionally quite bleak, the brief being,'as if it was hewn out of the rocks.'

The instrumentation was clarinets, strings, french horns, trombone, tuba and drums. The drums were often doing their own thing, intentionally of course(!), which gave the music a slightly disjointed feel.

The film was then re-edited..several times, and we were given a slightly different brief.. Blues guitar! We decided to re-score completely, although a couple of the original ideas were reworked.
