Doctor Jekyll - O.s.t.
Blair Mowat
Hammer Films are back and last year celebrated their 90th anniversary.
Eddie Izzard gives a riveting performance as a reclusive scientist and her murderous alter-ego in Joe Stephenson's gripping re-imagining of Robert Louis Stevenson's seminal horror story. Co-starring Scott Chambers and Lindsay Duncan, Doctor Jekyll channels the sinister paranoia of Hammer's classic psycho-thrillers while still remaining compelling, fresh, and contemporary.
Our director, Joe Stephenson, was looking for a bold, gothic, and dramatic score mixing traditional Hammer Films tropes with a modern sensibility.
Much like Jekyll and Hyde, this is a score of two parts, recorded with two different orchestras - the Budapest Art Orchestra and The Royal Scottish National Orchestra.
This helped to emphasise the split personality of the score: switching from sparse, haunting horror to the operatic gothic explosions we hear towards the end of the film.
A 30-person choir helped achieve a sense of scale where needed, and Hyde’s textural effects are performed on a variety of rare archaic instruments such as the Viola Da Gamba and Stroh Violin which help to evoke the sense of an ancient evil.
With a gorgeous smoky coloured vinyl, and Sean Longmore’s stunning bespoke artwork, this is a limited release that I’m eagerly awaiting to display on my own shelf.
The future of Hammer Films is bright, and I’m thrilled that fans can celebrate its rebirth with a score that honours the past while eagerly stepping into a new era." - Blair Mowat
