A Japanese artist visiting the Highlands of Scotland, is about to find out that one wrong word can get you into a lot of trouble. Especially when not everyone in Scotland, is friendly. When THE ARTIST crosses paths with the disgusting GAMEKEEPER - only one of them will leave the Highlands alive. Starring the multi award-winning Japanese actor, Junichi Kajioka (47 Ronin, Johnny English Strikes Again), Dark Highlands is a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase across the vast, unforgiving wilderness of Scotland.
The downloadable project session includes all the MIDI regions, programming, instrumentation, tempo changes, equalisation, automation etc. for the full film score.
Total Duration: 1 Hour 18 Minutes
Cinematic, dark and suspenseful orchestral instrumental music session project. Ominous and sinister thriller/horror film music full of tension and foreboding evil. In contrast, it also features some beautiful thematic music. Music composed, orchestrated and programmed in Logic Pro X.
Please note: It's likely that you'll have to replace some of the instruments/plugins for similar ones unless you have all of them yourself; so playback might be slightly different. However, impulse responses, Logic Pro X effects/plugins and audio files etc. are included.

Cinematic, dark and suspenseful orchestral instrumental music soundtrack. Chilling, ominous and sinister thriller/horror film music full of tension and foreboding evil.

Music composed and produced by Jon Brooks. A Japanese artist visits the Scottish Highlands to paint, but he becomes the target of a sadistic and psychopathic killer. Alone, suffering from exposure and hunted, he must find a way to survive.
