'Prey,' a new movie streaming on Hulu, went back in time for an origin story, plopping the predator into the bucolic world of the Comanche people 300 years ago — before the real-life invasion of alien colonists from Europe.
Mirabal lives in Taos Pueblo, New Mexico, and while not a Comanche himself, he had no qualms contributing to the film. He's a composer in his own right, and has worked on movies before — he scored the 2010 documentaryHe was intrigued by the story of, and saw in it something more than merely Hollywood high concept:"Living on a traditional Pueblo, with ancient stories and ancient philosophy, we have stories like this — of the star people," he says,"or the people of the heavens.
Mirabal draws on Native idioms and instruments, as well as modern jazz, hard rock, and hip-hop. His specialty is flute, including a double-barreled flute he invented himself."It looks like a bassoon, and it sounds really unique because it's made from the traditional format of the native flutes, but then it's way larger than that," he explains.
With minimal prompts and a lot of freedom, Schachner worked with Mirabal remotely in a studio — this being mid-pandemic, he was in New Mexico, she was in Los Angeles — to improvise a library of free-ranging tones and notes. "He has his own twist," Schachner says."He has his own way of playing things. I think we both kind of share that love of music that can be both beautiful and unsettling at the same time. And everything he played... I was just in awe.", sometimes plainly but often with the manipulation and distortion she applies to all the other elements in her music."And he was like, 'Yeah, I sing' — and," she says.
"It's almost as if you're whispering the story," Mirabal says of creating music for film."There's a visual aspect to it, but then there's a whole other mystical side of the story that is whispered to you through music."movie about a high-tech humanoid that dismembers its victims, listen for that whisper.
