Soundwaves: Whalefall Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Joseph Trapanese

Posted on 2026/10/16 by James

Hollywood Records and 20th Century Studios announce the release of WHALEFALL Original Motion Picture Soundtrack featuring an original score by award-winning composer and producer Joseph Trapanese (The Greatest Showman, Straight Outta Compton, The Witcher). His third collaboration with director/co-writer/producer Brian Duffield (Spontaneous, No One Will Save You), the score is anchored by a 100-piece orchestra and built out with more unusual textures from tuned glass and water bowls, microtonal violins, and a wordless choir that emerged through experimentation. Rather than heighten the terror on screen, the music was used to pull back from it and focus on the emotional journey of the lead character, Jay, portrayed by Austin Abrams. 20th Century Studios’ and Imagine Entertainment’s WHALEFALL, now playing in theaters.  Tickets available at: https://www.fandango.com/whalefall

Soundwaves: Lanterns Soundtrack from the HBO Max Original Series by Stephanie Economou

Posted on 2026/10/06 by James

WaterTower Music is pleased to announce the release of the soundtrack for season 1 of the acclaimed HBO Max® Original Series Lanterns, composed by Grammy winning artist Stephanie Economou. The soundtrack is available now on all major digital platforms. 

“My primary objective in scoring “Lanterns” was to invent a distinctive musical landscape which could oscillate between gritty, moody, and intimate and grow to cosmic, powerful heights. I drew influences from 90s and early 2000s rock and trip hop (Nirvana, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails, Mark Lanegan, Alice In Chains, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Portishead, Massive Attack) for the themes of John Stewart, Hal Jordan, Rushville, Sinestro, Zoe, and the Macons. The grunge, edge, and rebellion of the rock genre was the key to unlocking the musical tone and emotional depth of these characters. These themes combine traditional rock instrumentation (guitars, bass, drum kit, Wurlitzer, vocals) with unusual found percussion like glass bottles, scrap metal, wood sticks, log drum, and chains with warmly saturated synths, creating a tactile, dynamic sonic world.
