Taxi Amarillo
It is a well known fact that New York’s musical landscape is as diverse as the people living in it, and perhaps only truly experienced by those that spend their days picking up and dropping off passengers in the city’s yellow cabs.

Charlie Clouser
Composer Charlie Clouser recalls first hearing the temp score for Saw. “Ministry was playing out of one speaker and Einsturzende Neubauten out of the other. You rarely hear a temp score that out of control: one drum beat in the left speaker, one in the right, at different tempos.” Clouser tapped Chas Smith, a musician/welder, to inject musical metal. “He plays pedal steel and steel, but he prepares the guitars…
