I'LL FOLLOW YOU DOWN

Original soundtrack from sci-fi/mystery directed by Richie Mehta, starring John Paul Ruttan, Gillian Anderson, Rufus Sewell, Haley Joel Osment, scripted by director Mehta. Composer Andrew Lockington (Journey To The Center Of The Earth, Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters) creates richly textured score for strings, piano, harp plus percussion and select winds. First half develops numerous ideas courtesy deliberately-paced lines. Seven-note melodic idea with tinge of wistful romance takes center stage. Accessible yet still austere harmonic vocabulary keeps mystery in focus. Gentle thoughts for piano trade with more complex figures, then during second part of "Dreams Of Absence", new melodic ideas emerge with striking, major-chord sonorities. Near mid-point of score ("Death And Sunlight"), new rhythmic figures in cellos usher in momentum. "Timeline" furthers rhythm while forward motion of "To Meet Einstein" solidifies new direction of score. Subsequent cues balance both mysterious ideas, rhythmic elements. "Time Traveller" deserves special spotlight for allowing cello rhythms to remain ever-present underneath piano chords, upper string lines. Cool sound! When all is said and done, Lockington brings all of his ideas into play with impressive closing sequence, "Home Early" before wrapping with gentle piano figure and quiet string unison. Beautiful! Recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios (London). Andrew Lockington composes, Nicholas Dodd orchestrates, conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain!
