| Synopsis |
|
A hybrid of techno and orchestral music forming the score to the movie Event Horizon.
|
|
|
|
|
Event Horizon's combination of traditional instruments and techno works well, both suggesting the movie's combination of an almost traditional ghost story with a decidedly futuristic setting and using the synthesized noises' intrusion into the classical orchestration to suggest the movie's themes of intrusion. Now, that second observation's probably bullshit, but I like it. All told, though, much of the music is devoted to developing standard suspense; in the movie, it's fine, but on its own the score doesn't capture the intense creepiness and feeling of inevitable doom that pervaded the film. I have a feeling it's partially the driving nature of techno music, but the score just isn't creepy or original; Kamen and Orbital haven't done enough to make the listener uneasy.
