I love Mexican food--especially the more authentic fare I get at taco stands and tiendas. I was eating over the holiday break at La Casa de Las Enchiladas on South Blvd in Charlotte and enjoying some background Telemundo. I've always been fascinated by the way the drama seems to be pushed to the max in these programs, especially following a shoot-em-up gun fight/revenge plotting, or in the immediate wake of the realization of infidelity. These pensive moments are golden nuggets of sap that allow the characters to really show their emotions and acting chops via pained facial expressions, spurred along by occasional flashbacks of "the good times."
This short piece is for one of those moments of weakness and contemplation. I've stepped away from synthetic means--this one's all natural, recording-wise. Props to Ennio Morricone's classic score for The Good, The Bad the Ugly, and the opening sequence that I enjoyed early New Year's Day just prior to turning in for the night.
I dig this!
ReplyDeleteMagnifico! Coincidentally, I watched John Carpenter's "The Thing" earlier today compliments of Cassia's DVD Xmas gift to me. The music score was composed by our man Ennio Morricone so I was all set up. Wow - this piece leaves me wanting more. That tone on the LG is to die for.
