ABOUT THE MUSIC: “The composer signs an overwhelming symphonic soundtrack that emphasizes the action and endows the film as a whole with a constant frenzy. He does it with powerful music that considerably enlarges the closed spaces in which the film takes place (the interior of a ship) and gives it an epic, bombastic tone, but in no way superficial or empty. On the contrary, it’s a piece of strong dramatic music with two especially important characteristics: its apocalyptic tone and its bleak pessimism, which permeates the entire film and generates great anxiety (obsessive percussions help a lot). In this sense, it excellently fulfills the skillful objective of involving the viewer, to whom its music is mainly directed, giving it some indications that are not expressed by the characters: for example, at times when they apparently believe they have control, the music speaks out of control; When they decide to take heroic actions, it expresses fatality (always, of course, not explicitly but subtly)” MunodBSO

ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE: All the synths were programmed and played by Arnau Bataller. The orchestra was conducted by David Hernando, recorded with the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra, and mixed by Marc Blanes at BSO Superestudio, Barcelona.
