LOST IN SPACE: Season 3 Soundtrack Released – Music By Chris Lennertz

Milan Records has released the third season soundtrack for the Netflix science fiction series, LOST IN SPACE. Based on the 1960s sci-fi series, the Robinson family must come together to survive after being stranded light years from their destination. Christopher Lennertz (SUPERNATURAL, AGENT CARTER, THE BOYS) has composed the entire series scores as well as the show’s new title theme; both affectionately integrate elements of John Williams’ music from the classic original TV series. “There’s a lot of music per episode, and there are ten hour-long episodes, so it was close to 500 minutes of score,” Lennertz said of scoring the show’s first season in 2018. “We knew from the beginning that we weren’t going to be able to do all of that with orchestra, just budgetarily speaking. We ended up with a little over 200 minutes – that’s over three hours of music – with a 50+ piece orchestra, plus overdubs, so it probably ended up being sixty players at Abbey Road in London…”

MovieScore Media Releases SEPARATE, Spooky Drama Score by Brent Detar

“Although it’s wrapped in the guise of a scary movie, SEPARATION is really a film about family,” points out composer Brett Detar. “At it’s core it’s the story of a daughter, a mother, and a father: 3 humans. For this reason I chose to make the main musical theme just three notes. No matter what else happens with the music and sound design elements of the score it always returns to those same three simple notes as a reminder of the connection between the three family members. Sometimes these notes appear as a high piano, while at other times I used strings or woodwinds. Perhaps most often, though, it appears as human voices.

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.

I visited the film set in Ireland during the filming to take in the atmosphere and meet the actors after which I decided to record the music at CTS in London with a sixty piece orchestra plus electronics. I have always orchestrated my own work and had a wild time with RAWHEAD which is what I really love doing.”

And Fredric Ensign Teetsel’s orchestral score to Roger Corman’s 1990 Poe adaptation, THE HAUNTING OF MORELLA provides the film with a powerfully period-supporting orchestral score.
