Creating the score of 'Gnomes'

In 'Gnomes', we plunge into a world of fantasy and horror. A lyrical solo flute accompanies a curious girl deep into a forest, while playful bells and harps represent the glowing mushrooms that lure her further into darkness. Suddenly, percussive hits signal the arrival of the mischievous gnomes, whose charge is accompanied by spine-chilling strings and brass, foreshadowing the inevitable doom that awaits.

To amplify the sinister motives of these killer gnomes, we took the unconventional approach of having them sing as they go in for the kill! With the help of talented voice actor Jop Gorris, we composed a menacing gnome choir, giving voice to the evil that lurks within these tiny creatures.
