Title: Broken Down In The Brain - a chapperz original for Scott of the Antarctic

I thought I would post this strange piece I wrote for the Captain Scot project.  I was asked to produce a piece for the incident when Evans gets a severe concussion after falling down a crevasse.  Its a strange piece of music but I think it works.

Very interesting music.
And to be broken down in the brain is such a traumatic and very strange predicament to be in.
And yes, your music works on this picture you are painting.
Thanks for sharing.

Brilliant, Paul.
This exemplifies the fact that music can be as important to the success of a project or scene, as the actor, the script, the customs or the scenery.
While Mr. Harmer's narration is excellent and the scripts is compelling, it's the sounds you've created that pulls it all together...keeping us captivated and leaning in.

Bravo Sir

A strange yet compelling soundtrack, Paul. It fits the barren visual material perfectly IMO and the music is nicely constructed.

Nice piece of instrumental/spoken word music. I'm loving the soundscape...

Pressed the like button on the FB site of your band.

certainly looks like a story worth telling.... the music fits perfect... I most certainly will want to obtain a copy of this when it comes out in May!

Paul, the musical score you've created for this scene is awesome! The trauma of a man falling into a crevasse and getting a concussion, along with the frost bite, is devastating enough but to have it happen in a "way below freezing" climate is the point of no return. Your music supports the eeriness of that scene perfectly!

Very moving to the storyline, ads a dramatic curve to it all.
The sounds are perfect for the subject matter.
Outstanding work by a great songcrafter.

This soundtrack piece is just great Paul, and very compelling. It fits great with the icy scenes and it's brilliantly produced. I like the kind of oriental sound to it aswell. Well done on getting this commissioned , great stuff.

This more than works. 'Broken down in the brain' is such an interesting and strange turn of phrase, and that's before we even get to the music. It's so atmospheric and perfect for the landscape and feeling you're trying to conjure. The big cymbals sound like wind swishing over the ice, and although it's weird and jarring (like his mental state), it feels totally cohesive. Brilliant stuff Paul!
