This is an excerpt from the score to Sword in the Shadow, a film by Vincent Ferriero. The flute is performed by James Nyoraku Schleffer, a Brooklyn native and Shakuhachi virtuoso whom I hired to perform the score. The score also features Taiko drums which I sequenced using my sampler. The film is a period piece set in feudal Japan about a group of Samurai and the drama that unfolds in their camp when one Samurai steals and another cheats. I’ll keep updating on where and when the screenings are when they happen.
