"Halloween" Theme / "Something Pretty This Way Comes" (draft) [Uma desculpa para María] As we drift from post-Halloween into Thanksgiving, I came up with a five-part "morph" between two pieces of music — starting with an acoustic guitar cover of the creepy theme from the 1978 film "Halloween," I gradually layer two new guitar parts and a vocal and percussion track to slowly shift into a separate tune I call "Something Pretty This Way Comes." The end result (the final minute or so) has very little to do with the original theme; it's somewhat Brazilian in nature and definitely inspired by the late-1980s sound of the Pat Metheny Group. I hope you enjoy this odd musical piece and surreal video — I'm quite proud of the end result. The whole project came together remarkably fast this morning within four hours. It took about a half hour for me to learn to play the original theme, and then about two hours of composing, arranging and recording, plus another hour and a half of post-production tweaks to the final video and audio files.
