IEntry · ECLIPSED
ECLIPSED is a feature psychological horror film directed by William Viera for VIERA Productions, scored by Zazie Kanwar-Torge. Its premise — to erase him, she had to become him — gave the score a single structural problem: how to sound like two people sharing one musical body.
The solution is a doubled theme. Two versions of the same line, one orchestral and one synthesised, run a fraction apart in time and drift together as the film proceeds, until the listener can no longer tell which is leading. Harmony narrows as the identities merge.
Dark sci-fi material — low analogue sequencing, treated piano, cold reverberant space — sits under the psychological writing rather than beside it, so the genre shift reads as the same score seen from a different angle.
