As Midnight on a Moonless Night might be best described as music to some dark, Lynchian film with the spirit of adventure and mystery found in John Barry's James Bond scores or classic 1950s film noir. The musical landscape is a stark black and white; jazz cliches confused with swung and straight time, chromatic walking bass lines that, perhaps, walk in circles, major chords perched on top of minor chords, double-time fighting with common-time, and even some femme fatale flutes all help to define the world in a somewhat abstract, seductive, and perhaps even a contradictory way. If filmmaker David Lynch ever choreographed a ballet in a small red room, this could be the music accompanying it. Duration: ca. 7'30".
