GODZILLA VS KONG Soundtrack Set for March 26, Score by Tom Holkenborg – 2 Tracks Available Now for Download
“I’m a huge fan of Godzilla and Kong! I’ve watched over 35 Godzilla movies over the years, so geeking out with Adam over this film came naturally,” explained the composer. “Kong is such an iconic character with over 90 years of scoring history behind him, and this was a perfect project for me to flex the retro monster orchestral scoring side of my brain, mixed with my very contemporary electronic side – in this case ‘80s sequences and basslines in the vein of John Carpenter. In this score I am trying to emphasize the insanity of Godzilla and the humanity of Kong. In the spirit of the film, it was fun to get my mad scientist coat on and make some monstrous sounds!”

Score Album Review: WONDER WOMAN 1984
Hans Zimmer/WaterTower Music – digital
Hans Zimmer’s score to WONDER WOMAN 1984 is full to the brim with bright, heroic, rousing orchestral themes, and those who have complained about too many drones in recent years are going to be very surprised at the melodic richness of this new superhero score [as for me (I willingly digress) I’ll go on record as having found much to treasure in the music of DUNKIRK and other of Zimmer’s tonally oriented scores]. WONDER WOMAN 1984, logically enough, fast forwards from the 1940s of Patty Jenkins’ 2017 WONDER WOMAN film as circumstances in 1984 find her riding lightning across the sky, donning wings of gold, and chasing a dream while in pursuit of two new formidable foes: ruthless what-do-you-wish businessman Maxwell Lord and co-worker-cum-nemesis, Cheetah.

“The first film I scored was FULL CIRCLE (aka THE HAUNTING OF JULIA) which starred Mia Farrow and is still in the BFI top ten for best score for horror films,” Towns said. “I felt that film was more of a dark scary mystery.

I have always orchestrated my own work and had a wild time with RAWHEAD which is what I really love doing.”

Soundtrack to Netflix Series AWAY Released – Score by Will Bates
“Sharing that explorer’s sense of wonder and aspiration, space itself can be something of an exciting blank canvas for a composer,” said Bates… “I found myself experimenting with all sorts of unusual instrumentation; from dulcimers, prepared pianos and dusty old parlor organs to modular synths, timpani and manipulated live strings. Identifying the human themes whilst capturing the vast distances of space. And of course, having one of the lead actors play pieces I’d written for him was thrilling in its own right.”

DON’T LOOK DEEPER Original Series Soundtrack by Nora Kroll-Rosenbaum Released
