BASKETS, composer
MOOD: Bittersweet, Scrappy, Artful
The Parisian melancholy of aspiring french clown Chip Baskets (Zach Galifianakis) meets the dusty sprawl of Bakersfield, CA in this earnest score merging strings, mandolin, kaleidoscopic synths and antique keys as Chip slowly edges towards accepting his identity as a Bakersfield Cloon.

“The shadows that had always underscored the laughs in the past are more out in the open now. Even the score by Joshua Moshier is lighthearted, energetic, and uplifting.”
