ALBUM # 4: Bellitas

2010-05-07T12:31:00.001-07:00

COMING SOON Album #4: Bellitas, by FIRED EARTH MUSIC

FIRED EARTH MUSIC unveils its fourth album of trailer music, written by LA-based composer, Robert Bennett.

Album: Arthouse, Drama, Epic Romance, Mystery
Key Instruments: Piano, Harp, Strings

An elegant, refreshing collection of 12 lilting, memorable cues, perfect for those drama, romance and art house titles. LA-based composer, Robert Bennett took inspiration from the sweeping greens of Jane Austin novels, rainy Parisian streets and the isolation of international departure lounges to create this eclectic album of pensive, intelligent drama cues. Think ‘Lost in Translation’, ‘Catch me if you Can’ and ‘Donnie Darko’ for dramatic tone, with the epic romance of ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’, ‘Atonement’ and ‘Coco Before Chanel’.

Bellitas is currently being recorded in the historical Rudolfinum in Prague, Czech Republic. The Rudolfinum is one of the oldest and most dramatic concert halls in Europe. Formerly under the baton of Antonin Dvorak, this auditorium has been the home-stage for the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra for over 100 years. The combination of this epic auditorium and the ‘vintage’ orchestra ensures Bellitas will deliver genuine weight and emotion to your trailer productions.

Following an extensive music education, composer Robert Bennett started his professional composing career in 2000 when he met and was subsequently asked to assist Hans Zimmer at the well renowned Remote Control Studio. There, he worked on such films as 'Black Hawk Down' and 'Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron'. Independently, Bennett’s recent projects include the ABC prime time TV series 'The Goode Family' created by Mike Judge, FOX's thriller 'Wrong Turn 2', NBC's series 'Fear Itself', as well as the 'Spiderman 3' Video Game released by Activision.

Bellitas will be available on USB hard drives next month.

5 Minutes with Cyanite Composer, Aleksandar Dimitrijevic:

2009-10-13T13:34:00.001-07:00

You've delivered a chilling collection of Horror, Thriller and Suspense for FIRED EARTH MUSIC's second album. Did you have to go to a dark place to produce sounds that will reflect and complement the most vicious moments of today's horrors?
In a way, yes. We all have part of ourselves that sits in the shadows. The more I’m in touch with mine, the better I can do projects like these. But it was always more natural for me to do darker side of music. Give me a comedy track to do and I'll start sweating.

Describe a bad or recurring nightmare that you have.
I guess that would be this post-apocalyptic dream, where everything is in ruins and rust. All the people that you see are in fear, dragging their old suitcases desperate to get somewhere, and I don't know where or what exactly happened for that matter. Only know that a lot of people are dead, and what survived is hurdling in fear. It’s hard to explain, but for me that’s one of the darker ones that pops up fairly regularly.

Which horror movie made a mark on you, growing up?
Too many to pick just one. But if I had to pick one it would have to be Hooper's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" but also Carpenter's work like "The Thing", "Halloween"...numerous Zombie flicks, and then there is "The Basket Case", perfect little horror from the 80s…

Cyanite offers a diverse collection of sounds and moods. Which track did you enjoy working on the most?
I had great fun working on all of them, if I have to pick I'll go with Erotic Psychotic and Emerging Darkness.

Erotic Psychotic is a pretty radical sound. What images did you have in your head when you put that together?
Tough one, I guess you could say that track for me is all about moral conflicts of a very, very disturbed mind. Think about Michael Mayer all of a sudden thinking about what he is doing and why.

Which instruments created the spookiest sounds?
Processed bowed cymbals and crazy effects on violin section.

Which movie would you love to see one of these tracks on?
Halloween 3, if Mr. Zombie does another one, and the new Elm Street.

Weapon of choice: Meat cleaver, Hammer, Spade, Chainsaw, Concrete, Fire or Acid Tank?
Meat cleaver!

Which of today's horror characters would you least like to have an encounter with?
Lady Ga-Ga!
