Plots as thick as a whale omelette...

1	Shades of Cool [2:44]	David Gosnell	Cinematic Orchestra, e-bass, piano
Assassin, vampire, über-villain - whatever the case our anti-hero has a dark side, but you have to admit he's cool. Perfect for a scene without dialogue where we're just observing him going about his business in the coolest of black-wearing fashions - possibly with shades - even though its dark!
2	Fatal Distraction [2:36]	David Gosnell	Eclectic Ensemble!
Continuous 3:2 pulsing rhythm underneath cellos and low woodwind with an added marimba & vibes, punctuated by bandoneon interruptions. Eerie and mysterious mood speaks of a normality which is about to turn darker as the drama unfolds. For a thriller, psychological drama, paranormal, Hitchcock drama
3	Paranoid Delusions [1:56]	David Gosnell	Eclectic Ensemble - heavy on tuned percussion
Suspense builder track for a hero who suffers a delusion that his nemesis is approaching to kill him. Uses minimalist tuned percussion to suggest the growing tension and disarray of mind. Builds to a climax which melts away as delusion meets reality.
4	Femme Fatale [1:12]	David Gosnell	Strings, Flute, Alto Sax
Everything has been going wrong for our hero, but now he gets to relax - and decides to take a hot bath. But as he soaks the femme fatale arrives, climbs the stairs and enters the bathroom. His relaxation comes to an abrupt end as she targets his nether regions with hot candle wax to attract his attention. Scored for strings, flute and alto sax.

6	Conan The Librarian [1:40]	David Gosnell	String Quintet & Bass Flute

7	Dial 'M' for Vertigo [1:44]	David Gosnell	Classical Orchestra
Hitchcock / Bernard Herrmann pastiche for orchestra - a staccato fugue.Available as library track via Focus Music as 'Shadow Dance'
8	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	Piano, Zither, Vibraphone, Violin, Woodwind, Strings & Sound Design
It's not unusual in a Thriller 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.
