This is my conversation with composer/musician/video store clerk Heather Mcintosh. She is a classically trained cellist whose score for the 2012 film Compliance is both ominous and beautiful.

Its shorter than a Green Day song so you'll be back on to whatever you were doing before you stumbled on this page in no time. Casque from Riley Stearns on Vimeo .
