| Synopsis:
Three years ago, NYPD detective Max Payne's wife and baby were
murdered. Max gets himself transferred to the cold case office
where he can continue searching for the killer who got away.
He's a loner, but two people reach out to him during a fateful
week: Alex, his ex-partner who may have found a clue, and BB,
the security chief at the pharmaceutical company where Max's
wife worked. Meanwhile, bodies are piling up, some as a result
of a drug on the street that is highly addictive and, for many
who take it, brings hideous hallucinations. When one of the
bodies is a woman Payne was the last to see alive, her sister
comes looking for him armed to the teeth; Max must move
fast.

A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSERS |
|
When John Moore showed us the first cut of Max
Payne we were immediately inspired by the gorgeously gritty
monochromatic world he had set up. He told us that Max was
emotionally dead and that he needed a simple motor that kept him
going on his investigative hunt. The only sense of melody should be
when he reflects on his murdered wife and son. For Max's motor we
turned to analog synthesizers. The most basic of the machine-like
synth motors is a non pitched low end pulse which had variations
that became more "melodic". We also wanted gravely synth sounds to
blend with the orchestra and designed the sounds to have brassy,
reedy qualities, that blur with the lines between acoustic and
electronic. |
