2020: AUGUST 29: SHADOWS
IN MY EYES Marco
Beltrami has started working on upcoming Danish WWII drama
SKYGGEN I MIT OJE (SHADOWS IN MY EYES) for director Ole
Bornedal. The movie marks the 6th collaboration of the two
following NIGHTWATCH (additional music), DEEP WATER, I AM
DINA, THE SUBSTITUTE and 1864. Bornedal wrote
his own screenplay based on true events from March
21st, 1945 when the British Royal Air Force was tasked with
bombing the Shellhus; used as the Gestapo headquarters in the
centre of Copenhagen. The raid had unexpected consequences, as
some of the bombers accidentally targeted the local French
school and more than 120 innocent civilians were killed, 86 of
whom were children. As a result of the British victory, the
Shellhus was entirely destroyed, 18 prisoners were freed and
Nazi anti-resistance activities were disrupted. In a press
release published by Miso Film, the director explained:
“Shadows in My Eyes is about children. It’s seen through the
eyes of children, from that perspective, and with the sense of
wonder with which children must observe a grotesque world
around them. It’s the story of innocence versus machines, of
the child who falls victim to the horrors of
coincidence.” The movie was filmed largely in
Czech Republic at the end of 2019 and in early 2020 (with some
additional filming still required) and is currently scheduled
for January 6th, 2022 release in Denmark by SF
Studios. International distribution will be handled by Netflx
with specific release date yet to be
announced.

20: MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM score
released MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM was
just released digitally by Hollywood Records and is available
to purchase fromAmazon or iTunes. The album includes roughly 40
minutes of original score composed by Brandon Roberts
and featuring vocal solos performed by Úyanga Bold (see
also Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark). Here is a little
quote from the soloist about the working process: "A joy
working with series composer Brandon Roberts, creator Eliot
Laurence and sound team to create the vocal sonic universe for
Motherland. (The protagonists use vocal spells and songs to
affect the world around them!) We recorded at Capital Records
and Marco Beltrami's studio the vocal spell effects and
special vocal music for the show (for example, there is a
scene where my layered vocals are the voices of the characters
joining together to call down rain while the sun is shining).
Overall, a thoughtful creative team process defining how the
spells and songs sound and
work.The brilliant Brandon
wrote beautifully captivating music for the series, of course.
It was a pleasure to sing (and throat sing, and sing like a
wolf, ululate, and more) for him, including for his gorgeous
opening main theme. We used and layered different voice colors
to simulate various characters and vocal spells throughout the
series. (Did I mention he is
brilliant?)."
2020: March
17: MOTHERLAND: FORT SALEM TVS While
there are still no released dates known for several upcoming
