Proxy

The score for Proxy doesn't shy away from its obvious Bernard Herrmann influences, creating what may be the best tribute to the composer's work since Richard Band's Re-Animator. The string-heavy underscore creates suspense from the first moment to the last, underscoring Esther's growing distrust in the sudden new friends around her. The music celebrates the Hitchcock/Herrmann and de Palma/Donaggio collaborations without aping them, adding its own spin to the formula. Imagine what would happen if the Psycho orchestra performed the score to Vertigo and you'll get a clear idea of what kind of music to expect.
