It can be done! I believe this score makes the movie a hell of a lot better.” (Main Titles) MovieScore Media once again teams up with David Stone Hamilton on the composer’s latest collaboration with director Carl Strathie. While their previous movie, Solis, was an exciting thriller set in outer space, Dark Encounter has a more somber tone with supernatural elements. The film follows a grieving family who has yet to learn the truth about the mysterious disappearance of their 8 year-old girl. When strange lights appear in the nearby forest, the family is exposed to an inexplicably strange phenomenon that rattles them to the core. The origin of the lights appear to be visitors from another world that may be related to the mystery that shattered the family. We wanted the score to explore themes of guilt and loss, and have music reflect the way tragedy can tear a family apart,” explains David about the film. ”When visitors from another world appear in the form of strange lights, we used avant-garde vocals to evoke a sense of terror and mystery, while hinting at a very human aspect in these extraterrestrial encounters. As the true purpose of the alien presence is revealed, the vocals transform into heavenly choral textures and the orchestra likewise becomes much grander in scale. We wanted this contrast in musical style and instrumentation to signal a major shift in the story, while using strong emotional themes as a common thread throughout the film. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbba925ace09132f48ff4a8/1606137204921-ESL9RBD4LGKWT7MSVD21/20180622_176_edited+%281%29.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbba925ace09132f48ff4a8/1606137204921-ESL9RBD4LGKWT7MSVD21/David-Stone-Hamilton-Film-Composer.jpg Home - Music Composer for Film and Television His new soundtrack album is available now on all major platforms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fbba925ace09132f48ff4a8/1606138625099-IYP6HSD8G3XFF7L3UIJV/Solis-soundtrack-davidstonehamilton Home - Solis Official Soundtrack “A very satisfying blend of classic film music techniques with modern elements” (Movie Wave) MovieScore Media’s latest discovery takes listeners on an unexpected journey to outer space with a thematically rich, symphonic score by up and coming composer David Stone Hamilton. Written and directed by Carl Strathie, Solis is a suspenseful space bound story contemplating the dangers mankind is willing to take in the name of exploration. Although its genre is technically a thriller, it also has a very human story to it, as Troy Holloway (Steven Ogg), through the help of his rescuer Commander Roberts (Alice Lowe), comes to terms with a loss in his past – the death of a loved one – and the subsequent isolation from his family that it caused. “Solis is a survival space thriller, with the main character in a race against time to meet his rescuer,” explains composer David Stone Hamilton about the score. “We wanted to create a score that would reflect the increasing tension and impending doom with a musical “ticking time bomb” employed in different ways. Sometimes it’s literally a ticking clock, and other times we use modernist percussion effects or col legno strings to give this effect. Our Solar theme represents the grandeur and almost hypnotic allure of the Sun as well as the existential threat it poses to our protagonist. Another prominent theme was the rising half step or minor second interval, which is a nod to John Williams’ brilliant Jaws score to create the inherent tension with this dissonant interval. We also reserved some moments for a Korean instrument named the Haegeum, which has a truly otherworldly sound to it.” https://www.davidstonehamilton.com/hidden daily 0.75 2023-11-18
