To make ends meet, Tom signs on as a guinea pig at a home-based lab,
but when he commits a crime he cannot remember, he must risk his own sanity to
reveal the truth….

This
sci-fi film takes place in rural Texas which led me to have the choice of music
with a country feel as well as hybrid cinematic feel. From guitars to massive
boomers and binomial pulses, this gives a modern country sci-fi feel. Having
both genres to the table was a challenge in itself but was extremely fulfilling
and satisfying which made the soundtracks original and memorable. My approach
always had director Arvi’s input and insight for every scene. They were
meticulously crafted and at times, had many revisions just to get the right
touch. If I had to have one word to describe the overall sound for the
Cerebrum’s soundtrack, it would be “intense”.
From Director: Arvi
"When
I made the decision to make Cerebrum a unique Sci-fi, that it will set in a
rural setting, I knew the greatest challenge would come from having the right
music. Not only will the music had to do justice for the sci-fi aspects, but
will also stay true to the Texas country feel. This is further complicated by
the fact that the main character Tom switches between himself and his dad
(using Surrogate memory loads). The music needed to be specific to the
character and lead the audience to feel what the character is going through. Ed
was more than willing to hop on this journey, experiment, and collaborate.
There were certain tracks, where we both were not sure what would work and
ended up creating twelve different versions before we settled on one. One of
the smallest but complicated scores was for the opening sequence, where both
country and sci-fi elements had to be equally split. Even the mighty Google was
not able to produce a sample for us. Ed played around with his guitar and synth
combination and came up with a score that I fell in love with. Every piece of
music in Cerebrum was thoughtfully composed to bring the emotions behind a
complex plot"
