Dream Reprise

Joseph Mann’s American Dream is a sweet farce about a little girl who decides to rob a bank to save her family’s home. And while the film looks and plays like a classic single camera comedy, Joe wanted a score that was a little offbeat in terms of tone. So ukulele underpins the score along with some glockenspiel for good measure. The music is also based on a whole-tone scale motif, instead of the major scale that I might have used more conventionally.

Just a reminder that it’s not all gloom-n-doom around here.
