Kingdom of Archers - Feature Documentary
Music Composed by Jon Robertson
Writing the music for this film was an amazing experience. I had the wonderful opportunity to research the traditional music from Bhutan, and through contacts from the film I had many resources available to me. I am honored that I was able to score this film and become acquainted with the music and culture of Bhutan.
The excerpt below is the audio from the first 3 minutes of the film.
This excerpt demonstrates the blend of the music I composed with the traditional folk music featured during this archery sequence.
The excerpt then moves into a bit of narrative and demonstrates the effective use of underscoring.
This next excerpt is another example of underscoring a whimsical moment.
This next excerpt is a delightful use of music as an interstitial transition.
Thank you for listening! It was an honor and I am humbled to have been able to work on this project.
