| Synopsis: In the millenium
version of this classic Gothic horror we find Abraham Van
Helsing (Plummer), who has tangled with Count Dracula (Butler)
in the past, working as an English antiques dealer. Simon
(Miller) is a vampire hunter in training under his
apprenticeship. Van Helsing and Simon travel from London to
New Orleans to rescue Van Helsing's daughter Mary (Waddell)
from the family's life long nemesis - Dracula.

A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER |
|
The main theme was based on Mary seeing Judas.
Even before they started editing or I had locked footage, I had this
Iranian singer Mamak Kajdem, come in and I played the main theme for
her. We recorded this and I sent it to Patrick. I'm not sure if he
cut anything to the music, but in the end it worked out perfectly.
We never had to re-record her because we used her original voice, so
I wrote the music around that. The cues that started everything are
called Brotherly Love and The Sun also Rises, both these cues were
based on my main theme. Dracula also has a theme that I came up
with, this descending thing. This was written at the same time
because I felt we needed a great Jaws kind of theme for Dracula,
something memorable. Whenever you hear his theme, you know that
Dracula is around the corner or close by. We also created this
electronic loop sound that Patrick called "Yo Baby" loop. You hear
that whenever Dracula is going to seduce a woman. It's basically the
manipulation of a sine wave. I had a vampire hunter theme as well.
Whenever Van Helsing and Simon are in control, that's that theme
that's playing. The Dracula theme is also connected to Mary because
she has a theme that's based on the theme that Mamak sings. So
there's the main or Mamak theme, the Dracula theme, the vampire
hunters theme, and this "Yo Baby" loop. You can pretty much find any
of these themes in every single cue to some extent. The rest of the
score is a palette of colors that surround all
this. |
