High Above The Harlem Sky

Darius' monologues either reflect the character's internal struggle and confusion with being a young teen in the world of Harlem, or his alternate persona, Fury, an eagle that becomes his protector when he feels threatened. This track composed by Eth Nick Hernandez.

Regular Life Becomes Fury's Mission

Composer Eth Nick Hernandez's incredible scoring and mixes drive the spoken word segments of Darius's lines. It transitioned into the Fury monologues with a hip hop flare. 

Races

Collaborating with Nick, we created a sound scape and scoring tour de force in the critical segments that augment Twig's running scenes. 

Uncle Ernesto/Doubts

This is the scoring and sound scape of the big Delaware race. 

​
​Midnight's Change of Heart

Up on the apartment roof, Darius and Twig find Midnight, wounded from a gun fight with someone who had previously shot a small child in the park where they all live.
