The Tracker was written in the summer of 2022. It served as an introduction to writing music for media. This particular scene is from the film, No Country for Old Men, and sees the main character discovering a hidden tracker in the money he's been carrying. Haunted by the knowledge that a trained killer is definitely on his trail, the scene proves to be incredibly intense. Although effective in its silent original, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to see if I could successfully add music to the scene.
