Propulsive rhythm pulses from orchestra, synth and percussion ramp up the tension. A tragic melody comes in and out, performed by female vocals. Ethnic instruments like duduk give a mysterious, ancient, middle eastern feel. For modern thrillers, perhaps for the opening credits. Also great for promos and trailers.
