A Different Day was composed as the main title for an independent film I scored back in 2003. The original version that appeared in the movie was written for a small orchestra, and was much softer. However, not having a small orchestra at my disposal, or the orchestration chops to convincingly simulate one with samples always bugged me. So, afterwards I decided to have some fun and take the music in another direction, while still maintaining the somber mood of the original composition.In my totally reworked version, I chose an unlikely combination of instruments: a big, majestic pipe organ with horns and electric guitar; all set over a powerful marching beat. The rather unexpected result brings to mind some sort of overblown funeral procession! Morbid maybe, but musically effective I think!
