I created this theme in the style of music used in classic spaghetti westerns from the 1960s, made famous by composers such as Ennio Marchione.  To capture this vibe I used an instrument called the Fender BassVI, which is actually a guitar tuned down one octave lower than a normal guitar tuning.  This instrument was a popular choice for getting this type of twangy barritone kind of tone.  It was used on lots of film and TV soundtracks from the 60s as well as popular hits by groups such as The Beatles and the Beach Boys.  You can hear this sound in the Beach Boys hit “Dance Dance Dance”, “I Get Around” as well as Frankie Valli & The Four Season’s hit  “Sherry”.   For this track I played the Bass VI as well as composing the orchestral arrangement and guitar accompaniment.
