These are works I have written for Crime Noir films or shows, characterized by a dark, moody, and introspective tone, often mirroring the genre themes of corruption, moral ambiguity, and existential crisis. These compositions incorporate sultry synts, mournful trumpets, and a prominent use of strings to create an atmosphere of tension and foreboding, the music also features elements of dissonance and atonality to heighten the sense of unease and emotional complexity. The resulting soundscapes are often seductive and haunting, capturing the cinematic world of hard-boiled detectives, femme fatales, and the dark underbelly of urban America.
