Alpenchase

from Slutlips by Catherine Corelli

about

‘Alpenchase’ was one of the first tracks successfully finished while the entire album was still very far from even being an album with any concept to it.
I remember gaming ‘Thief: Deadly Shadows’ the Museum level while programming the drums which just wouldn’t turn out right in the mix. But then again, it was all so very experimental I didn’t know what are the must’s and where are the should’s.

The core theme (violin/flute intro) was written back in 2006, 10 year prior to ‘Slutlips’, as part of a soundtrack commission for a video game that never made it anywhere. It was a 1.5-minute piece that was easily loopable. The track acquired a whole new twist to it once I’ve ‘unlooped’ it and continued writing past 2:30. Until after the samples and voice acting was added I still had no clue where is this track going.

The cows, the grass, and the footstep samples suddenly transformed the piece into something with a distinct location. This is when the title ‘Alpenchase’ was born.

lyrics

SC4. EXT. Poster highland image. Much like Swiss Alps on a 90's postcard but giving a somewhat ridiculously intense vibe of an Alpen Gold chocolate commercial

Highland ambiance with cows and sheep making noises, walking and munching on the grass

Daddy walks with Lily. Lily's 16 yo. It's a bright sunny day in June
The ambiance gently goes into the music starting in the background and building up gradually
As the music builds up, the ambiance fades

Daddy tries to embrace Lily and pushes her into his body a little too much

Lily: Daddy? W-what are you doing?
Daddy: [not letting go of her] I just so love you, darling
[trying to sound gently] Why won't you let me embrace you, sweetheart? You're such a beautiful child...
Lily: [still trying to slip out and realizing that Daddy's grip on her waist gets even tighter] Let go of me
Daddy: [catching her hand] No-no-no, sweetheart! Daddy's not letting go of such a treasure!
[sounds exaggeratedly petty] Not in a lifetime!
Lily: [now trying to tear her wrist out of his hand] Daddy, stop it! Let me go! Stop it, please!
[slips out with a painful twitch and dashes away]
Daddy: [getting angry immediately] You! You have to obey your father! [starts shouting and wailing as Lily runs further and further away] Hands! Those filthy hands! Obey your father, you little bitch!
