Synopsis: Two parents do what it
takes to keep their children safe in a world full of creatures
hunting every sound they can hear. Not a sound can be heard
from the family hiding in silence, but all it takes is one
noise and everything can go wrong.
A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER
Due to budget, I
didn’t have a full orchestra to record. However, I didn’t need it
because the film is truly intimate and contained. All I needed were
strings and a piano. I actually de-tuned the piano’s black keys to
make it a little askew. For the monster’s sound, I took the strings
and drums and processed it to become electronic. I really wanted to
come up with a signature monster sound, something we haven’t heard
before that instills fear, even if the monster isn’t on screen.
The last cue of the film when they realize that they can kill the
monsters and the monsters are racing toward them, that cue was
really crucial to the process. Once I solved that,
everything else fell into place. It’s not a melodic cue, but it’s a
driving force which led to the monster cue. I never heard how they
mixed the film or what they ended up using or leaving out. There
were also a lot of visual effects that came in so late that I hadn’t
seen. It was almost like seeing it for the first time again at the
premiere. When I saw John, I gave him a big hug and said, ‘Wow, you
pulled this off spectacularly.’ He’s a demanding guy in many
respects, but it was a very rewarding project. John wants everything
to be perfect and the way he was able to keep his vision throughout
the whole thing was really amazing.
