Main Sections of Music Complete

I recently completed the main sections of music (not the score) for the Nosferatu Project.  These are the bodies of thematic material that accompany most of the scenes in the film, and between them there are some transitions of ambient music that will serve as mental rests for both the musicians and the audience.  The main sections of music will come in acoustic and electronic varieties, the later of which I'm calling "specters."  There is a fair amount of repetition, more than I normal use, but I believe the repetition will be helpful in clarify the origins of the material.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to export the newest material in mockup form tonight, but stay tuned this weekend for the last installment of previews on YouTube.  From here on out I'm working on just the score for the musicians, which will allow me to dig into the orchestration a little deeper (though I love Reason for doing mockups, it still lacks samples for the most interesting techniques on many orchestral instruments).
