Below you can listen to a preview of the Score –

Marianelli explains his creative process, and how it was composed in two distinctive ways; “My initial instinctive approach to the score, which our director, Baltasar Kormákur, liked and encouraged me to follow, was to have a calling voice, a distant siren call. It is, at the same time, a voice that represents the ancient goddess-like mountain, but also a luring and irresistible calling to one’s own destiny.”

The second side of his approach focused on the climbers themselves; “The opposite point of the musical compass is the ‘conquering’ attitude of the mountaineers, a kind of macho, go-getting approach to nature, which is reflected in a much more propulsive, percussive and energetic musical idiom.”

The film itself will be released on September 25th Worldwide in standard format, 3D and IMAX 3D.
