FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LAKESHORE RECORDS TO RELEASE SOURCE CODE SOUNDTRACK
Soundtrack Features Original Music By Chris Bacon
(March 1, 2011- Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the Source Code -- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack available digitally and in stores on March 29, 2011. Chris Bacon (Gnomeo and Juliet) composed the original music.
“Chris was a revelation,” said the film’s director Duncan Jones. “We gave Chris what seemed an impossibly difficult task: create an original score in an extremely compressed time frame. One that matches the film’s fast pace and switches of mood and tone. One that not only identifies the emotional moments, but also elevates them. Chris delivered a seventy piece orchestral score that did all of this and more.”
Bacon described, “Duncan Jones (the über-talented director), Paul Hirsch (the venerable editor) and I decided to dive in and try to tackle the biggest musical moments of the film first: the frozen moment scene at the end of the movie, and the ‘Opening Title.’”
“The rolling string figure from the opening became a sort of musical glue, providing a motor to accompany Colter’s determination as the film progressed,” Bacon explained, “Hopefully something familiar to grab on to throughout the film when a melody wasn’t really called for. The middle section of the opening was more traditionally melodic, and became the theme for the mystery of what source code is.”
Chris Bacon attended Brigham Young University where he received his undergraduate degree in music composition in 2003. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Los Angeles where he attended USC and completed the Scoring for Motion Pictures and Television graduate program. It was there that he met James Newton Howard, and after graduating in 2005, Bacon started working for Newton Howard as a full-time assistant. While he gained much from his formal education, it was during this time that Bacon really began learning the craft that is film scoring.
In 2007, Newton Howard recommended Bacon to Barry Sonnenfeld who was looking for a composer for the animated film Space Chimps. As a composer, Chris has worked with some tremendous and inspiring filmmakers, including Sonnenfeld and Kirk Dimicco (Space Chimps), Don Hahn and Peter Schneider (Waking Sleeping Beauty), Taylor Hackford (Love Ranch), Rick Rich (Alpha and Omega), Kelly Asbury (Gnomeo and Juliet), and now Duncan Jones (Source Code).
When decorated soldier Captain Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes up in the body of an unknown man, he discovers he's part of a mission to find the bomber of a Chicago commuter train. In an assignment unlike any he's ever known, he learns he's part of a government experiment called the "Source Code," a program that enables him to cross over into another man's identity in the last 8 minutes of his life. With a second much larger target threatening to kill millions in downtown Chicago, Colter re-lives the incident over and over again, gathering clues each time, until he can solve the mystery of who is behind the bombs and prevent the next attack.
“The frozen moment is really the emotional climax of the film, and provided the opportunity to write a theme for Colter and Christina that we were able to parse up a bit and allude to in several earlier scenes, but reserve the full statement for this moment,” said Bacon.
Summit Entertainment presents Source Code in theaters on April 1, 2011. Source Code – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on Lakeshore Records will be released digitally and in stores on March 29, 2011.
