Michael Giacchino - Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen, Vol. 2

Mutant is proud to present Academy Award®-winning composer Michael Giacchino's latest installment of his Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen series - Featuring more iconic scores from Giacchino's career that have been exclusively rearranged and re-recorded for this series in the retro lounge style of the 1950s. Volume 2 spans the period of 2012 to 2022 and features not only his work with Marvel Studios (including their iconic Marvel Studios Fanfare, Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and more!) but also more career defining music for Disney • Pixar (Inside Out, Coco and Lightyear) as well as smaller, cult classics like John Carter, and Tomorrowland, more personal films such as Jojo Rabbit and The Book of Henry. He has taken these iconic themes and transformed them into soothing, beautiful 60's lounge-inspired reworks. Other highlights include 'The Batman Suite' the taken from Matt Reeves 2022 blockbuster The Batman, 'Jyn Erso's Theme' from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, as well as themes for War For The Planet Of The Apes, Jurassic World and two selections taken from his directorial debut Werewolf By Night "We are thrilled to continue exploring Michael's storied career with this incredible collection of some of his most beloved themes reworked for warm summer nights with a cocktail (or mocktail) in hand." says Mutant co-founder Spencer Hickman. "Michael is a rare composer that is comfortable with superheroes, horror, action, or intimate drama. He always manages to create incredibly beautiful earworms that have been further highlighted by these stripped-back downtempo versions of his award-winning themes.' Featuring liner notes by Charles Phoenix, artwork by Luke Insect, and pressed on limited edition color vinyl (also available on CD) "So much was rooted in the big orchestral sound, so it was really about scaling it back. The real trick is figuring out the little fun hooks and things you can add along the way. There were no rules; I was up for anything. It was a way to re-engage with the material and be creative in a new way." Exotic Themes for the Silver Screen - Volume 1 includes an array of reinterpreted pieces from Michael Giacchino's career. Highlights include 'Primordial Forest' from the 1997 video game The Lost World: Jurassic Park, 'Life and Death' from Lost, the theme from Ratatouille, 'Roar!' from Cloverfield, 'Enterprising Young Men' from Star Trek (2009), 'A Man, A Plan, A Code, Dubai' from Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol, and a Super 8 suite. Featuring package design by Luke Insect, and liner notes by Charles Phoenix.
