Lakeshore Records has released Castlevania: Nocturne
—Original Series Soundtrack with music by Emmy-winning composer Trevor Morris and Trey Toy. The ominous electronic and orchestral score provides a crushing and compelling backdrop to the dark fantasy series. A single from the album, “I’m Free” that showcases an anthemic pop vocal performance by Sydney James Harcourt and features Lindsey Stirling on violin, is available now. The Netflix original series is airing now.
France, 1792 – the height of the French Revolution. In a remote part of western France, the counter-revolutionary aristocracy has forged an alliance with a terrifying Vampire Messiah, who promises to ‘eat the sun’ and unleash an army of vampires and night creatures to crush the revolution and enslave humanity. Annette, a sorceress from the Caribbean, seeks out Richter Belmont, last descendant of the long-fabled family of vampire hunters, to lead the resistance.
Notes Morris: “Working on ‘Nocturne’ was just a joy. An amazing opportunity to be immersive with the score to suit the amazing look, story and characters”
Adds Toy: “’Castlevania: Nocturne’ elegantly balances its epic setting in a world of vampires and magic with deeply personal character stories. We were excited to use the score to highlight this duality, so as much as we leaned on the usual fare of orchestra, drums, choir and the like, we relied equally on intimate soloist recordings, using an array of experimental playing techniques, to accentuate the emotional core of the show. Just as the narrative spans space, time and culture, so too did we explore a diverse array of instruments from around the world, from viola da gamba, cristal baschet and the human voice, to didgeridoos, koras and conch shells.”
