Rescoring The Animatrix - Program part 1

- A section of the rescoring I did for Program, a chapter from The Animatrix (2003), as part of a pedagogical approach to writing for the moving image, This was done by removing the original soundtrack from the audio mix and composing/recording my own from scratch.
This story takes place in a simulated feudal Japan, as such I drew on both traditional and synthetic elements, to help guide the story in a musical language that fits its world.
All music composed, performed, recorded & mixed by Yanik Fillion-Murphy

Full Story:
It follows the protagonist, Cis, who is engaged in her favorite training simulation: a battle program set in feudal Japan. After she successfully eliminates an attacking enemy cavalry while playing as a samurai woman, a lone, male samurai appears whom Cis recognizes as Duo.
Initially, the two duel as allies, testing one another's fighting abilities. During the course of their duel, Duo briefly disarms Cis. He questions her concentration and wonders whether she regrets taking the Red Pill that took them out of the "peaceful life of the virtual world". They continue fighting until she finally overpowers Duo. It is at this point that Duo states that he has something to say and that he has blocked the signal so that the operator does not listen. She assumes that he wants to propose marriage, but instead he desires to return to the Matrix and wants Cis to come with him. When Cis believes he is teasing, Duo says he's serious and states that he has contacted the machines and it is the only way to find peace before it is too late. He urges Cis to return with him, but she refuses. Duo becomes more aggressive in his arguments, saying that he does not care about the truth anymore and how they live their lives is important because what is real does not matter. As Cis becomes incredulous, their battle becomes more serious and forceful and they both end up on a rooftop.
When Duo reiterates that the machines are on their way, Cis believes he has betrayed the humans and she tries to escape and requests an operator in order to exit the simulation, but Duo reminds her that no one can hear her. When he offers her to come with him again, she refuses again and Duo, in a flying leap, tries to attack her. As the blade comes towards her, Cis, standing her ground, concentrates and catches the sword and breaks it. She takes the broken end of the blade and kills Duo. Duo states his love for her as he dies. Suddenly, she wakes from the program and discovers that the encounter with Duo was a test program devised for training purposes. A man named Kaiser (John DiMaggio) assures her that she acted appropriately during the test and met the test's targets. Clearly upset that Duo wasn't real, she punches him in the face and walks away. He remarks that "aside from that last part", she passed the test.
A training program written after that little incident with Cipher. The new songs seem to fit great.
haha definitely a smart addition to the training in that case. Thank you for you kind words :)
Big ninja scroll vibe. Actually the guy sounds a little like samurai jack
it was made by the dude who did Ninja scroll. and that's the voice of samurai jack playing Duo. lol

@@N1k4_Gr1v of course. But I give a Damn, man.
thanks for uploading this
Okay, I get that the sudden tones are meant to fit the sudden movements of the battle, but creating a score that matches every single movement and shift isn't the right way to approach this (imo). I think that the score should be based around key images instead of just chiming every time a character makes a sudden move. Like...in amv's there are moments where the music matches the movements of the character but it's only at the climax where the actions and the main plot and themes all align. I'm also curious as to how much resources were available because there's more nuanced and subtle ways you could have matched the music to the imagery... but I understand how time constraints and a lack of access/expertise in certain genre's of music could affect the project. Either way cool premise, and GL with future work.
