Jay Ferguson Quotes

Every composer likes a 100% underscore soundtrack album, but these score/pop song hybrids are a fact of life. You just hope the mix makes some kind of sense.
Jay Ferguson

Actually, I think Ellen's theme from Bad Dreams was quite melodic. But on the whole, these scores were done with more shades of gray than my others. Part of the reason was a decision to continue in an ambient/atmospheric mode -- remember that both these films were about dream-states. The other was, for good or bad, a desire to avoid horror film music conventions. I would characterize these as horizontal scores.
