Soundwaves: Batman: Caped Crusader Original Television Soundtrack by Frederik Wiedmann Available from WaterTower Music
WaterTower Music is excited to announce
the release of Batman: Caped Crusader (Original Television Soundtrack) with music by composer Frederik Wiedmann. The soundtrack is available now, on digital platforms, and released on August 1st coinciding with the series premiere on PRIME VIDEO.
Frederik Wiedmann notes “When I saw the first few frames of Batman: Caped Crusader, I was blown away. The beautiful Art-Deco setting in Gotham City, the character design, the unique approach to each character, simply stunning. It was so exciting to get to work on this show with Bruce Timm, James Tucker, Matt Reeves and J.J. Abrams. We quickly decided to have the music tonally match the setting and time period, which launched me back 80 years into the world for 1940’s noir film scores. I spent hours watching movies from that era (The Wolf Man, Hangover Square, Citizen Kane etc..), to really understand the aesthetics of these phenomenal films and their music. I incorporated the use of harmony, melody and orchestration techniques from that era to give the music a strong and distinct backbone, rooted in this time period. Our wonderful symphony orchestra and soloists performed every episode to perfection, and I very am very excited to share this music with the world!”
