‘Hereditary’ Live Film Experience with Colin Stetson and the LCO (Orchestrator)

Transcribed, orchestrated, and prepared score and parts for Colin Stetson’s unique and bone chilling soundtrack to the hit A24 horror film ‘Hereditary’. This was for a live concert experience in which scenes and stills from the movie were projected while the orchestra premiered our orchestrations of various film cues.

There was no existing score or audio project that we could reference when transcribing this music and sound. We had to do it purely by ear and get creative with the techniques and sound production methods, knowing that we had a group of seasoned experimental musicians ready to play it. My partner in crime for this project was Conor Brown.
