My writing partner, Liz, and I have been working hard on a script lately about early Native Americans called "Hohokam". It's been really interesting, but a bit of a challenge since there isn't a lot of information about this particular tribe (they disappeared over 500 years ago). So, for inspiration, I've been listening to an instrumental piece called "Ghost Dance" by Cusco which really helps. Since we're almost done with the script, I thought I'd share the song with you...hope you like it!
I actually discovered this song about four years ago when looking for music for one of my documentaries, "Snake Hill". There is a bit of a "ghost" element to the story and I was doing a music search for songs with "ghost" in the title. And even though this song is clearly Native American, it also has a haunting quality that I thought might work for my film. In the end, I ended up hiring a composer and using original music, but I always kept this song in the back of my mind...and now it has really come in handy :)
I know you must be wondering what the "Hohokam" script is about...but I can't tell you or I'd have to scalp you, LOL. Stay tuned and keep checking back for updates on IMDB.
