Director: Daniel McIntyre
“Peeling back the shrouded image, Exhumation is a reanimation of long lost desire.” Daniel McIntyre
The score for Exhumation is meant to feel like a conjuring.

As typical with my scores for Daniel's films, I attempted to mimic his process of creating visuals though my use of sound.
I created a set of digital instruments by manipulating samples of tumbling rocks, funeral marches and requiems, all in reverse. Additional rhythms were designed using heavily processed sounds of the heartbeat as heard through the stethoscope—sounds that were sampled from the medical gay porn footage used in the film.
The collage of sound resulted in a ceremonial song for an exhumation. One with a touch of black magic and a queer undertone.
