Ben Zarai’s New Blues EP

by admin on October 10, 2014

Ben Zarai’s new blues EP, Out of the Swamp, features six instrumental songs. The tracks range from the high-energy shuffle of Swampland Express, to the moody and contemplative Backwater Blues, to the Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin-inspired Starlit Everglade.

Each song’s unique character shows a different side of wetlands blues.

Soundtrack to Bullet Now Available

by admin on October 10, 2014

Ben Zarai’s high-energy score for the action thriller, Bullet, can now be streamed online at www.benzarai.com, under Film Scores.

The producers of the film presented Ben with a unique challenge for the music: take inspiration from the Denzel Washington film, Man on Fire, and add an old-west gunslinger twist.

The result? A post-modern hybrid of electronic, rock, and orchestra, ranging from high-octane action to sweeping emotional melodies. It’s all tied together with a 1960s guitar that evokes spaghetti westerns and James Bond-style adventure themes.

Check out the main theme below, and log on to www.benzarai.com to hear the rest!
