Welcome
to the Soundtrack & Score Section of Roger Cobb's House.
Here you will find all the details you ever wanted to know
about the 'House' soundtrack.
This
CD contains the Music from both 'House' and 'House II'
 The
score to House is a lush adventure into Horror and suspense.
Harry Manfredini's fusing of Orchestral instrumentation
and modern synthesised sounds functions so dramatically
in augmenting the mood and impact of the film, that many
of the same emotions and images flood back on listening.
From
its opening titles, to the advent of Big Ben, the first
half of this remarkable CD will keep you deep in the netherworlds
of Roger Cobb's House.

House II
similarly provides a variety of motifs and has many
amusing Hillbilly/Old West themes. I find that Harry
Manfredini's work scoring both films is an absolute
delight and worth the attention of any music enthusiast.
Remember, you can read about
Harry Manfredini in the
Cast & Crew section.
Harry was
aided in the Orchestration arrangements for 'House'
by Arlon Ober.
