A mid-tempo D minor western underscore built on slide and electric guitar over a sustained drone, with bells, piano accents and sound design pricking through the dust. The pulse from the drums keeps it moving without resolving, suiting a ride into a ghost town or a lawman closing in.
The slowest-moving cue at 75 BPM, and the most openly mournful: acoustic guitar and mandolin over a low drone, with marimba and xylophone figures adding a brittle, music-box coldness. Despite the gunfighter title it reads as grief and aftermath rather than action — a burial, a survivor, a letter never sent.
The busiest and shortest of the set — 110 BPM in A minor with mandolin, acoustic guitar, whistle, plucked bass, strings and driving percussion over a drone. Spaghetti-western tension pushed toward pursuit; a chase across open ground or the tightening minutes before a draw.
A swaggering 90 BPM Em groove led by electric guitar, plucked bass and percussion with strings underneath — cooler and more seductive than the rest of the album, closer to a Tarantino-style entrance cue than pure suspense. Suits a character walking into a room and owning it, with mystery still hanging in the air.
The only major-key cue here — G at 90 BPM, with classical and electric guitar over light percussion and drone, tagged romantic, sad and somber. Warmth with a lump in the throat, for a farewell, a homestead at dusk, or the tender scene between two hard lives.
The longest track on the album: 90 BPM in A minor with electric guitar, shaker and synth over a drone, plus a howl in the sound design that pushes it toward the eerie end of spaghetti western. Slow-burning menace with room to breathe under narration.
At 70 BPM in A minor this is the darkest crawl of the set — flute over claps, shaker, beat, drone and synth, tagged for conflict, doubt and showdown. Sparse and unresolved, good for an interior scene where everyone is deciding whether to reach for a weapon.
