Listen to Two Tracks From Benjamin Wallfisch’s IT Score
Two tracks from the score of the upcoming IT adaptation have been released and can be heard below, courtesy of EW. The tracks are titled “Pennywise’s Tower” and “You’ll Float Too”.
Talking to the site, Wallfisch explains, “Every now and again, you come across a movie where the storytelling is so powerful, the subtext so visceral, the synergy between director, narrative and actors so palpable, that as a composer you can feel the music being energized by something so much bigger than what’s just on the screen. Creating a score to tell the story of a shapeshifting antagonist of unimaginable evil that can only be defeated when a group of individuals come together as one required metamorphic themes, extremes of sonic irreverence and heartfelt quiet, and, most importantly, a musical language that strived to be constantly informed by the profound emotional truth driving the heartbeat of the filmmaking.”
Pre-orders for the soundtrack can be found right here.
Stephen King’s IT has been rated R for “violence/horror, bloody images, and for language.”
