La Vida De Una Piñata - Indie Film Music Contest Summer '23
Original film by Elena Heller, Marina Kunz, Kai Müri and Raphael Pfyffer. Rescored by yours truly.
Working on this was a supremely rewarding learning experience. My gratitude goes out to the creators of the original film and the organizers at the IFMC.
Thank you for watching!

I started organizing the music for this film harmonically because there were so many pitched sounds included from the get-go; the doorbell sounds, the child's humming, and the musical gag at the end, in particular, helped me set up chord and key changes throughout the score. I also found that many (literally) striking visual cues were served well by percussion (in one moment, percussion ensemble evoked an execution to me). The remaining sound world takes inspiration from fast-paced cartoons, Horror, Action, and Mexican marimba music. I found it easiest for me to match the pacing and tone of the film by moving relatively quickly between these styles. This was also compelling to me because, as a consumer, I am most invested in (and inspired by) music and media that keeps me on my toes. - DH

      Probably just one, but this arrangement covers every player’s lines with percussion. We added a bass, which rounded out the low end, but we felt that there was a good balance sonically with this many players.
