Hello Zepp
Artist:Charlie Clouser
Album:Saw (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Released:October 5, 2004
Genre:incidental music
Label:Koch Records
Type:song

"Hello Zepp" is a piece of incidental music that was composed by Charlie Clouser for the 2004 horror film Saw. The song, which is written in the key of D minor, serves as the main theme of the entire Saw film series.

The piece's appearance in the first film was timed to bring a dramatic tone to the end of the film, in which Zep Hindle is revealed to actually be a victim of the Jigsaw Killer (the character's name in the script is spelled "Zep" but the music titles are spelled "Zepp").[1] [2] As the series continued, the piece was reused in all the films, often being renamed and remixed to accommodate the changing situations and characters in each film.
