“Pistols at Dawn” is an electrified, modern country-rock piece comprised of electric bass, several electric guitars, acoustic drums and additional percussion. As the title may imply, this piece is ideal for any project featuring a situation in which a duel is taking place (both serious and comedic). A vibra-slap is included to enhance the Wild West mood of the music.
A reverb-soaked clean electric guitar strums on as two distorted guitar leads take turns playing over it. The bass guitar dominates with long, sustained low frequencies and the piece culminates in a definitive dismount which, if used in a scene, provides a nice cue for dialogue to continue.
