This theme is inspired by the Stanley Kubrick film The Shining (1980), more specifically, the scenes at the very beginning where we see the car travelling through a mountainous region towards the Overlook Hotel. The soundtrack to The Shining features many interesting pieces of contemporary classical music, including works by Penderecki and Bartok, however the soundtrack to the scenes at the very beginning was written by Wendy Carlos, which exerts a strong influence on this short piece. My own theme is tuned in sixteen-tone equal temperament, with a synthesised saxophone carrying the melody alongside a sampled tuba and 'cellos, with double basses providing the accompanying cluster chords at the extremes of low register. The theme is topped and tailed with the tolling of tubular bells.
