2m1 is very pleased to announce the upcoming release of The Curse of El Charro - a dark and beautiful orchestral score by Rich Ragsdale, who himself has an eclectic repertoire of composing for video games (Aliens vs. Predator, Aliens: Colonial Marines) and independent films (Big River Man, Phantom Love, The Most Beautiful of My Very Best Years).  Studying classical guitar at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Rich went to USC where he studied under Christopher Young and collaborated with a number of composers, one of which included Deborah Lurie.  There is no doubt that this diverse background fused with his eclectic love and appreciation of multiple genres influenced El Charro, as it ranges from a contemporary and modern classical aesthetic to a mixture of thematic cues similar to Bernard Herrmann, Jerry Goldsmith, and even Chris Young's score to Hellraiser.  Recorded with a live orchestra and choir, El Charro is a unique mixture of ambiance and thematic textures with a simple 4-note motif that defines Charro - a man who's fall from grace was a result of losing the woman he loved.  In association with KNR Productions and Producer Andrew P. Alderete, we are deeply excited to get Rich's music out into the world.
