The Score

The score of Confessions of a Burning Man was produced and written by Graham Shrimpton a/k/a Darkhorse of Three Sixty Records in San Francisco. The music created for Confessions of a Burning Man was a year in the making, with many talented musicians helping in the recording, including Paulo Manuelle, Peter Mayer, Jonny Downer, Michael Dipiro and Megan McCoul. The Songs "Crash and Burn," "End Song" and "Temple of Tears" were all inspired by, and scored to, the film. Great music also in the film comes from the artists Balanced Output, Runaways UK, The Beloved, Herbaliser, Bonobo and Kdub.

Darkhorse runs the Music Supervision and Research service "Music for Moving Images," working with the likes of Apple, BBC, Mandalay/Burton/NBC and many others placing and writing unique music for film and TV, and is in-house Music Supervisor for Windline Films, LLC.

"Beautiful...
Oh my, this is quite the most beautiful piece of music! As they say, less is more and in this case it is! Love the production and arrangement. 10/10 for Darkhorse."

"Stunning...
It's hard to believe something like this comes from America...the song has a world feel to it you'd expect from something more exotic from say Tibet, Russia, or some other place foreign. The track is okay, but I strongly recommend you visit their site and preview their album as it's chock full of some stellar ambient/electronic tracks. The track "Six to the Eight" has an intro that is one of the most beautiful ambient moods I have ever heard which garners 5 stars for this artist alone. Darkhouse is a true gem among the online world of Electronica."

"The best Electronica music I've heard..
The rhythm literally speaks to your soul when you listen to anything by Darkhorse. You feel every word, breath every note. It becomes, for the few minutes the songs last, your world. You see things in a different light, and feel everything. Darkhorse's music opens the mind to all senses and is by far the best Electronica artist I've heard."
