Intrada announces the premiere release of a long-sought after Carter Burwell score: the 1996 Universal Pictures thriller Fear. The film is a psychological thriller centered on the intense and tumultuous relationship between a teenage girl, Nicole, and a charismatic but dangerous young man, David.The film opens with a sweeping flyover of Seattle and here Burwell introduces his main theme underscored by pounding taiko drums. The score is moody and unsettling, slowly insinuating itself into the drama behind the scenes much as David integrates himself (or tries to) into the family. Burwell credits a lot of the power of his Fear score to the orchestration and conducting of Shirley Walker. “It’s got a particular sound I think she takes a lot of responsibility for, like the way that the brass plays at the bottom end and the lushness of the strings,” he points out. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.
