A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER
It was a little bit different than most films
because of the time period. It was the beginning of COVID when we
started having conversations. Normally, I would actually meet him
(Andy Serkis) in person and we would go through the movie, talk
about scenes and go over particular pieces of music and what his
thoughts were. We had to do this all over the phone - he was in
London and we weren't able to meet. He was working on the picture
and he had an editor and they had some music in [the film], and I
could sort of get a feel for what they were going for. I think the
biggest takeaway I got out of speaking with him was everything in
this movie had a balance and you had to be very careful about that
balance. There's this fun element to the movie. You want it to have
that fun tone, but you don't want it to go too over the line because
then it becomes goofy. So, it's all about balancing on a razor-sharp
line. Those were some of the things we talked about early on.
Because of COVID restrictions, we had to change
the way we worked on processing acoustical sounds. Where we'd
normally work with live musicians to create source material, here we
had musicians record at home and then re-amp them at Sony. In
addition, we worked with feedback looping to create some of the
aggressive tones for Carnage. The film presented a lot of fun
musical challenges, from a unique enhanced brass theme for Venom, to
the altered woodwind theme for Carnage and Shriek, to a slightly
bluesy feel for Eddie. Overall, in spite of those COVID
restrictions, I feel very lucky we were able to still record many of
the orchestral sessions at Sony and have it come out sounding so
good!
