Mike Harrison - Heartless Excerpt [Original Score]

---

I'm actually really excited to share this one with you guys. Story goes - I was hired to score a film a few years back called 'Heartless'. It's a story about heartbreak essentially, and it was the first film that I really got to supplement the emotions that you're to be feeling strongly with music. I was really happy with how this one came out - very sad and sombre.

The whole [short] film was somewhere around 15 minutes long if I remember correctly, this sequence comes from one of the final dialogues. I actually like it better to not give you guys too much backstory on the scene, as I think the music does a pretty solid job of painting that picture (which is why I was so happy with the composition).

I love doing these sort of simplistic, almost improv'd sequences of just a piano or rhodes. You can pack so much emotion into just these simple, underplayed notes - it's awesome. Where as a lot of the time I produce much more tech-y, calculated music, this is the kind of music that I believe comes from the heart, and you really have to get into that moment to score it effectively.

Anyways, here's a little excerpt from the film 'Heartless' that I scored - thanks for listening!
