In this project I wanted to explore the genre of true crime drama, taking heavy influence from the tv show Fargo and the soundtrack for that, by Jeff Russo based on themes by Carter Burwell (from the 1996 Film). I wanted to focus on a core rhythm to create a sense of forward movement to the piece, with percussion and big reverberant drums sounding under often dissonant strings. I composed a few key themes at the piano, and then arranged and developed these into a series of variations with the full ensemble.
