Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen, Vol. 1 (Vinyl)

$4298


Vinyl LP pressing. Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen - Volume 1 spans nearly two decades of Michael Giacchino's music, from his early video game scores to his television hits and blockbuster films. The album transforms these works through the lens of Exotica, replacing epic strings and thundering drums with vibraphones and marimbas. "This album was inspired by the work of Arthur Lyman and Martin Denny," says Giacchino. "What would they do with the Star Trek theme? Or video games like Medal of Honor? It was a way for me to play in that world I loved so much growing up. I thought it would be fun to create a fantasy world, where this album was recorded back in 1967 and then lost, only to resurface today." The album showcases Giacchino's unerring talent for melody, stripping down grand symphonies to their essential elements while retaining their aesthetic and emotional core. "So much was rooted in the big orchestral sound, so it was really about scaling it back. The real trick is figuring out the little fun hooks and things you can add along the way. There were no rules; I was up for anything. It was a way to re-engage with the material and be creative in a new way." Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen - Volume 1 includes an array of reinterpreted pieces from Michael Giacchino's career. Highlights include 'Primordial Forest' from the 1997 video game The Lost World: Jurassic Park, 'Life and Death' from Lost, the theme from Ratatouille, 'Roar!' from Cloverfield, 'Enterprising Young Men' from Star Trek (2009), 'A Man, A Plan, A Code, Dubai' from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and a Super 8 suite. Featuring package design by Luke Insect, and liner notes by Charlie Brigden.
