Mystery & Suspense Showreel

Mystery SuspenseIt wasn't the butler???

 

Mystery is the who-dunnit and the Suspense is about what might happen next.  Something happened, and the story revolves around figuring out what exactly happened. This could involve no action whatsoever, and could be accomplished without a single car chase or gun fight. However, there's no harm in throwing in a little action here and there to relieve the tension!

8 Bach: Goldberg Variations BVW 988 - Aria - David Gosnell Bach: Goldberg Variations BVW 988 - Aria David Gosnell Solo Piano
This beautiful melody, full of emotion and subtlety, opens Bach's Goldberg variations for solo piano - and is based on a song he had written earlier for his wife. Used in the film Hannibal, it combines great expression and depth with a dreamy air of detachment and creates a sophisticated ambience.
9 Unusual Fruit [2:26] - David Gosnell Unusual Fruit [2:26] David Gosnell Piano, Zither, Vibraphone, Violin, Woodwind, Strings & Sound Design
It's not unusual in a Mystery/Suspense to encounter a true eccentric. This character has a unique world view, which although perfectly rational to them seems to us a little 'off'. This is their soundtrack.
