電影原聲帶 / 決戰中途島

作曲家汪達與克洛澤(Thomas Wander & Harald Kloser)說: "我們同意(中途島)的音樂 不應該是無所不在的管弦樂譜,  在廣泛的動作提示後, 每一個情緒和情感的改變都有音樂伴隨著. 我們也設定目標應該是管絃樂作品應該被限制在電影中傷感的時刻. 之前我們問過長期的夥伴Tommy Schobel創作某種音樂導向的聲音設計, 使用合成器模擬舊式戰機的聲音, 但仍以合乎樂譜的大方向的方式進行.  當你在影片中聽到提示信號, 和所有的聲音特效結合, 就變成 - 如同我們錄音混音工程師Greg P. Russel所說的 - "一種東西".


備受期待的動作巨片(決戰中途島), 由Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans, Nick Jonas, and Mandy Moore等明星主演, 電影已經在台灣上演過, 電影原聲帶也正式發行了. 這專輯的23首音樂有兩首歌"Getting Some Fun Out Of Life"和"All or Nothing At All"由女歌手Annie Trousseau主唱, 給這部設定在1942年的影片帶來獨特的復古音符.


"We agreed that the music for Midway should not be a traditional wall-to-wall orchestral score, with sweeping action cues where every change in mood and sentiment will be followed musically. We also set ourselves the goal that the orchestral pieces should be limited to the emotional moments of the film. Early on we asked our long-time collaborator Tommy Schobel to create some sort of musically driven sound design, using synth-based versions of sounds old war planes would make, but in a way so they make sense within the bigger picture of the score. When you hear these cues in the film, married with all the sound effects, it all becomes — quoting our re-recording mixer Greg P. Russel — ‘A Thing.'” – Thomas Wander & Harald Kloser, Composers


The highly anticipated action drama, starring Woody Harrelson, Luke Evans, Nick Jonas, and Mandy Moore, premiered in US theaters today via Lionsgate, alongside the soundtrack release. The compelling 23-track album features two songs by singer Annie Trousseau, who gives the film set in 1942 a unique vintage note.


"I was asked by Harald and Roland if I had any big band songs recorded and would I be interested in performing a song in Midway. This was all happening last minute because they had just added a scene with a singer. Of course, I said yes immediately! Harald had pretty early on decided that "Jersey Bounce” would be the instrumental. "All or Nothing at All” was my top pick for the vocal track because it was the most fitting lyrically and emotionally for the film, and I just fell in love with the melody and Frank Sinatra's 1939 version with the Harry James orchestra. What an honor to be the one singer asked to do this. We purposely did only two or three live takes of each song so we could keep the live feel. I'm very happy with the outcome. In preparation, I studied the enunciation of the era and did my best to give it that extra 1940s vintage sensibility. I was in heaven in a musical world and setting that allowed me to shine in a genre that I adore and respect so much. It's been the best experience to work beside such amazing talents. Almost everyone in the film is also a musician! Such a dream come true for me.” – Annie Trousseau, Singer
