“Captured” is a short action thriller created by Desert Vine Studios. The challenge to writing the music for “Captured” was to keep our action-packed score from taking itself too seriously. When composing for heavy action, I find it is all too easy easy to overdo things and end up with a bloated soundtrack that tries to steal the show. A good score must do much more than match the actions you see on the screen–it must embody the scope and scale of the story it is helping to tell.

Press play to listen.
