Soundtrack: The Sexy Brutale — a masquerade that tells time by ear

The music Matt Bonham and Tim Cotterell wrote for The Sexy Brutale is electro-swing that conjures a 1920s masquerade — but underneath, it is the most precise clock in the mansion. It differs from wing to wing, tightens toward each scheduled murder, and resets with the loop at midnight. How a time-loop mystery and its music mesh, and how to steal the 'let the sound measure the hour' idea for your own writing. Black coffee in hand, I, Doremi, take it apart.
