Charlie Clouser’s Soundtrack For WAYWARD PINES Out On July 17
In what’s become the best, and craziest, show this summer, Fox’s WAYWARD PINES has become must-see TV.
The intense episodes play out more like a movie and the soundtrack is haunting and other-worldly.
Lakeshore Records has announced it will release the WAYWARD PINES – Original Television Soundtrack digitally on July 17 and on CD July 24, 2015. The album features the show’s original score by Charlie Clouser (SAW, Numb3rs).
“The main direction I received was that the score should help with the feeling that ‘something is not right’ in the town of Wayward Pines,” said Clouser. “For a while, we don’t know if Matt Dillon’s character is hallucinating, or maybe still in a coma and just dreaming, so the score needed to lean toward a ‘malfunctioning’ feel – that meant using sounds that are a little ‘out of whack’. As the series progresses, the score starts to get more and more intense – so we needed to keep raising the stakes while still being able to reference the themes and palette that we established right at the start.”
10-episode, intense psychological thriller WAYWARD PINES is brought to life by suspenseful storyteller M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs), and stars Academy Award nominee Matt Dillon (Crash) as a Secret Service agent on a mission to find two missing federal agents, whose investigation only turns up more questions.
“For Wayward Pines I tried to envision the whole ten-episode run as one long crescendo – like a big ‘wedge’ shape with the pointy end at the start of the series and a musical ‘cliff’ at the end,” described Clouser. “We start off small and get pretty epic by the time we approach the end, until there is a gigantic climax and we finally fall off that cliff – so that is a fundamental difference between a show like this with a finite number of episodes, and an open-ended series where you don’t know how long that wedge might last. I quite liked being able to plan ahead like this and make one long and hopefully coherent statement across the whole series.”
WAYWARD PINES airs Thursdays, 9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT on FOX. The series was developed for television by Chad Hodge (The Playboy Club, Runaway) and executive-produced by Donald De Line (Green Lantern, The Italian Job), Ashwin Rajan (After Earth, Devil), Hodge and Shyamalan. Hodge wrote and Shyamalan directed the premiere episode.
