Tree of Life (2016)

 

Tree of Life is a 2011 film directed by Terrence Malick and starring Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain, and Sean Penn.  I composed a set of ambient pieces that represented the emotional mood of key scenes from the movie.  Many of the pieces were creating using Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch, an open source program use to slow down audio several thousand times below its normal speed.  Although the entire "album" of material is 65 minutes, you can listen to my favorite selections below.

How did I lose you...find me
Mom and dad always wrestle inside of me (excerpt)
...when I laid the foundations of the earth
