Lakeshore Records is set to release Apartment
7A—Music From The Paramount+ Original Movie digitally today, September 27 featuring music by Adam Price and Peter Gregson and produced by Lorne Balfe. The vivid score utilizes strings, keys and echoing atmospherics to create an intricately crafted and ominous backdrop to the psychological horror film, a prequel to the classic Rosemary’s Baby. Directed by Natalie Erika James and starring Julia Garner and Dianne Wiest, Apartment 7A is streaming now on Paramount+ as part of their Peak Screaming Collection.
Terry Gionoffrio dreams of fame and fortune in New York City, but after suffering an injury, an older, wealthy couple welcomes her into their home in Bramford. When she receives an offer at another chance at fame, it seems that all her dreams are coming true. However, disturbing circumstances soon have her second-guessing the sacrifices she’s willing to make for her career as she realizes that something evil is living not only in Apartment 7A, but in the Bramford itself.
Notes Price: “From our initial discussions with the team, we were drawn to the solo female voice. By its very nature the most intimate and expressive instrument to help capture Terry’s emotional perspective. It became a key element, and we experimented with manipulating the voice recordings, sometimes in subtle, delicate ways and at other times pushing them to those Satanic extremes. We still needed to allow this raw, intimate voice to work with a larger, more expansive orchestral sound when the story asked for it.
The hope is the score can grab you by the hand and walk with Terry every step of the way. There are many ritualistic elements of the score too. Often repetitive and somewhat seductive. Though we were keen to find that balance between keeping the sound fresh, contemporary and unfamiliar while also sitting comfortably as a prequel to the 1968 horror classic Rosemary’s Baby. Of course, at times, we were also keen on making the audience as uncomfortable as possible…”
