Wonder Man is a celebration of LA, filmmaking, friendship, and the creative spirit. The score was created with an improvisational rhythm section + the Sydney Scoring Orchestra, all recorded with vintage microphones and techniques to evoke nostalgia for Old Hollywood.
Rachael Abigail Holder had a beautiful vision to make “Love, Brooklyn” a simple, elegant, and authentic character portrait of everyday people. She wanted the music to be timeless, simple, and classy, and we wound up sticking with a simple palette of Piano + String Trio that explores a few character themes.
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings was recorded with a 70-piece orchestra at Abbey Road Studios in London, and features the UK Chinese Music Ensemble. The score follows Shang-Chi's journey of self-realization by slowly intertwining several separate themes as he embraces the various aspects of his identity and family history.
The Just Mercy score started with a deep dive into the musical world of Bryan Stevenson, who is a musician himself and has always leaned on jazz, gospel, and soul music as fuel for his work and movement. It was brought to life over three days at Capitol Studios by Karriem Riggins (drums), Thomas Drayton (bass), Lynette Williams (keys), and Justus West (guitar).
