Abel Korzeniowski - The Watchers (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) '2024

Tracks list

Abel Korzeniowski (A Single Man, Nocturnal Animals, The Nun, Till, W.E., The
Courier, Emily, Romeo and Juliet) provides the original soundtrack to the
supernatural horror film The Watchers. 

The movie is based on the novel of the same title by A.M. Shine and follows a
28-year old artist who gets stranded in an untouched forest in western Ireland,
where she finds shelter and becomes trapped alongside three strangers that are
watched and stalked by mysterious creatures each night. It also marks the
feature directorial debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan (who also wrote the
screenplay) and stars Dakota Fanning and Georgina Campbell. 

Abel writes:
“My music harks back to the tribal, pagan rituals of pre-Celtic Ireland,
expressing primal, animalistic energy in its unadorned and raw form. The score
features experimental acoustic instruments (Daxophone, Harbor Drum) alongside
the classical orchestra.
I spent a few days on the set in Ireland, and the forest where the shooting took
place was one of the most incredible locations I’ve ever seen. Every tree
was soaking and brimming with life, with intertwined layers of moss in every
shade of green covering the ground like a sponge. The sound of the forest was
mesmerizing, and I wanted to capture that feeling in the score.
I aimed to reflect the complexity of the natural environment without the
constraints of modern, digital precision. I consciously avoided the traditional
orchestral effects, like clusters, that have become clichéd in the horror
genre, instead opting for the distinctive wooden sound of the Daxophone,
recorded to magnetic tape.”
