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
