And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None is a haunting cinematic soundtrack composed for a theatrical adaptation of Agatha Christie’s Ten Little Indians. Rooted in classical orchestration, the piece gradually descends into sonic despair, mirroring the unraveling fates of the story’s characters.

From the outset, the music conjures the isolated, mysterious atmosphere of the island — but even more so, the cold, looming presence of the mansion itself. A heavy sense of secrecy and impending doom hangs in the air, evolving through subtle harmonic shifts and a sense of sorrow for the lost innocence of human souls.

The score follows a narrative arc: the initial intrigue of arrival, the chilling realization of entrapment, and the gradual, almost suffocating descent into hopelessness. As the story progresses, familiar instruments begin to “die out,” their textures dissolving into hollow echoes — a deliberate sonic metaphor for the characters’ inevitable fates.

Though built with traditional orchestral tools, the emotional weight of the music intensifies toward the end, culminating in a cathartic moment where all light seems extinguished. The listener is not just hearing a score, but living a story — one where the mystery consumes all, and silence is the final judge.
