Synopsis:
Life for former United Nations investigator Gerry Lane and his
family seems content. Suddenly, the world is plagued by a
mysterious infection turning whole human populations into
rampaging mindless zombies. After barely escaping the chaos,
Lane is persuaded to go on a mission to investigate this
disease. What follows is a perilous trek around the world
where Lane must brave horrific dangers and long odds to find
answers before human civilization
falls.
A NOTE FROM THE
COMPOSER
We
found that there are these feral pigs in… I’m
not sure where they’re native to, maybe Texas, called javelina, and
they have big jaws. So we got some skulls and miked them up. Then I
have a friend of mine who is a hunter and he gave me a lion skull,
and we had some raccoon skulls – yeah it looked like a taxidermist.
We just played around with that and it became elements that we later
used as percussion elements and you can hear that stuff in the
score. We experimented in the studio and then we recorded everything
when we went to London. You can hear in the score, in a few
different places, these sounds. Sometimes it’s covered up by
orchestral percussion and all, but sometimes it stands out and I
think it helps add to the
tension.
