There’s already been a lot of talk about soundtrack music in relation to the tracks on this all-instrumental volume, but it turns out David Forlano and Dave Moir’s “Clown’s Lament” was actually created to be used in a film to be shot next year. Specifically, this piece is meant to represent a clown character in the film. Based on the title and the slow, mournful gait of this tune, all breathy sax and whole-note upright bass, I’m going to guess this is one of those sad clowns we’ve all heard about. I can just picture them, staring balefully into the mirror as they apply an exaggerated red smile to their downturned mouth, giving their nose a whimsical test-honk even they sniff back tears in contemplation of another day on their clowny grind. I don’t know if this movie will be as good as the one already taking shape in my mind, but I do know it will have some beautifully conceived and executed musical accompaniment, courtesy our new friends David and Dave.
