Note: this is similar in style to the last 2 symphonies I did however this mix is much more restrained to fit the suspenseful tone of my published novel. It does have its burst of action moments but for the most part it’s a lot lighter than my other mixes. I used a lot of Douglas Pipes for this set which inspired me to actually reach out and contact him about doing the music for the film version when we get it made. That’s in the bag, now we just need support to raise funding to get it made. This album along took 4 years to complete however if you pick up a copy of the novel from the PublishAmerica website and have read it, you’ll know that some scenes from the book are not featured on this album but mainly because some scenes to me were extremely difficult to score without visuals but this covers about 75% of the score I intend for the film. I lived and breathed this book for years so by now I pretty much know exactly what I want to do with it but the score was super tricky.
As for the inclusion of Dvorak’s Karneval Overture for the cue "Cat & Mouse", the track was originally written in the novel for Brahm’s Symphony No. 2 but I changed it in favor of the Dvorak cue.
As for the music, from the early days of playing with temp score ideas I knew that the piano was going to play a huge part in this score to serve as the key thematic element. Throughout the effort, what was originally Sam’s theme from Douglas Pipes’ Trick ‘r Treat becomes Andy and Olivia’s tortured love theme and surprisingly it works which is why I want none other than Douglas Pipes to do the score. Kurt Oldman is also one of other choices but I think in the end, I’m going to try a collaborative effort between the two composers because I like both composers’ work so much, I want to see what the two of them can do together. It could be something quite special. Look for it in the coming years.
Synopsis: One seemingly normal afternoon, a boy named Andy finds a mysterious package in the mail with no return address, just his name sloppily written in black ink on the top of the package. The secret of what lies inside the box causes a whirlwind of hell on Andy’s psyche which causes him to turn against the one other person he thought he could trust more than himself.
Enjoy and as always, comments are muy apreciado. 🙂
Edit: track 5 is supposed to be "Andy Ponders/The Dream" but I tagged it as Andy Ponders the Dream. Just clarifying.
