"I am a massive “Black Mirror” fan myself. Weirdly enough, I used to work on a video game magazine with “Black Mirror’s” creator Charlie booker back in the nineties. I was like, “We should do something one day.” So this turned up. I was very busy but I wanted to do the episode. It’s really complex stuff, I can’t give too much away about “U.S.S. Callister,” but it’s almost like two film scores that slowly collide. One is very retro 1960’s soundtrack inspired by Jerry Goldsmith. The other is something that’s a lot more near future and something you’d expect from “Black Mirror.” It was fun to write unashamedly overly dramatic orchestral music for it." |
