about

I'm pleased to share this special accompaniment for the (very!) short video, "Bokeh in Motion," comprising the final theme used, its vocal tracks, several variations that went unused, a longform version of the traditional Scenoptica logo open, and a longform version of another, hitherto unused, opening theme.

Track details:

Track 1: This is the original (and still occasionally used) opening theme used for videos, but extended with several motifs.

Track 2: The variation that was ultimately used in Bokeh in Motion, composed of several rather disquieting layers and a general, lurching rumble. This gave the video an unsettling feel (for better and worse).

Track 3: The glacial, monotonous rumble. The rumble just—kind of—goes on, leading to nowhere.

Track 4: What sounds like (but isn't) guitar fuzz and punctuated strumming. This is a more stripped-down version of the next track.

Track 5: Another variant on a punctuated theme. This is more evocative of a 70s horror film than it needed to be.

Track 6: A re-render of the vocal and background tracks used in the final video.

Track 7: A solo of the vocal track used in Bokeh in Motion. This version is slightly improved, with increased brightness to the voice and slight roominess.

Track 8: This is an as-yet unused opening theme variation, but once again extended, with near-infinite decay of the end of the loop. The full version goes on for a dozen minutes in this monotonous fashion.
