Album Description
Music That Enters the Psyche
The hypnotic style of the THE MACHINIST would not be complete without its grand, full-bodied orchestral score, which plays a crucial role in the development of the film's narrative. Underlining fevered emotions and goose-bumps of abject terror, it ceaselessly drives forward, much like central figure Trevor on his quest to find the source of his terrible fear. It’s a wall of sound that includes swirling strings, fractured melodies and a driving bass line. Music as rife with mystery as the story itself.
Director, Brad Anderson purposely wanted the film's score to echo and hark back to the work of Bernard Herrmann, the legendary composer who’s intense, suspenseful and eternally haunting orchestrations added a whole new layer to the work of Alfred Hitchcock through unforgettable scores such as PSYCHO and VERTIGO. Creating music that would be at once nostalgic and fresh, Anderson brought in Roque Banos, an innovative composer who has been writing music for Spanish films over a number of years and is perhaps best known to cinema audiences for the award-winning British film SEXY BEAST.
For Banos, the thrill was in attempting to revive the Grand Old Hollywood era of huge, omnipresent scores – and merge it with contemporary touches that give a sense of timelessness, including variations on themes that range from the romantic to the minimalist. Banos even utilises the rarely used Theremin – an early electronic instrument that produces an inexplicable outer space type sound.
"Like Trevor Reznik's life, Roque's score builds to a head and seems to spiral back in on itself," says Brad Anderson. "It's great to experience something that can be so beautiful or sad at moments and then turn absolutely terrifying. It's music that enters the psyche."
