Trapanese In Music
Listen to such pulsing wavelengths as Fall on Your Sword’s “Another Earth,” Nathan Johnson’s “Looper,” Nima Fakhara’s “The Signal” or Steven Price’s Oscar-winning “Gravity,” and you’ll pick up loud and clear on the burgeoning film scoring genre I prefer to call “alt. sci-fi.” It’s a plane of electro-orchestral existence where traditional symphonic melody (or at least the spirit of it) gets fused with an acoustical rock and roll vibe that can veer from psychedelia to grunge.
Organic samples of everything from scraped metal to car engines are warped into new, unearthly entities, joining with electronic percussion and atmospheres that can be as simplistically lo-fi as John Carpenter’s “Dark Star” as they are the height of Reznor- Ross “Social Network” gearhead complexity. Musical content boldly announces itself just as quickly as it can morph into sound effects, all neo-experimental elements combining to create a surreal sound that transports a youth-friendly movie audience into an aural experience caught between pop’s outer limits and whatever’s left standing of the traditional film scoring style.
Simply put for those with the imagination to appreciate this new soundtrack form, it’s the coolest music to hit the genre since the Wendy Carlos and Tangerine Dream beat became the in-thing during the 80s with the likes of “Tron” and “Legend,” a decade that also included the far squarer symphonic likes of John Williams’ “E.T the Extra-Terrestrial.” Now apply said musical form, advance it thirty years into the found-footage multiplex age, and you’ll have received the call of “Earth to Echo,” wherein a bunch of suburban kids do their best to help an adorably Bubbo-appearing alien phone home – their adventures on earth recorded via camera phone and computer.
It’s the kind of warm, “Super 8” throwback that filmmakers weaned on “E.T.” can’t help but make as they pay tribute to their creative inspiration, but in a whole new retro way – particularly when it comes to Joseph Trapanese’s thoroughly fun, alt. sci-fi score that firmly establishes him as a solo voice in the genre, and film music in particular.
As a young artist steeped in both classical, rock and electronic scoring, Trapanese has most often served as a musical wingman for pop-alt. musicians who are the first media spotlight draws – collaborating with Moby on “The Bourne Legacy” song “Extreme Ways,” assisting on “American Idol” darling Kelly Clarkson’s album “Wrapped in Red” and doing percussively ultra-violent beat downs with Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda for “The Raid: Redemption.”
But Trapanese’s telltale impact of bringing both electronic and orchestral worlds together was soundly heard when he jumped onto the game grid with Daft Punk for 2010’s “Tron Legacy,” a booming, Wagner-by-way-of Wendy Carlos score that signaled alt. sci-fi’s arrival. Next to teaming with M83’s Anthony Gonzalez for “Legacy” director Joseph Kosinski’s “Oblivion,” Trapanese got official co-scoring credit, amping up big-budget orchestral excitement while retaining a futuristic synth signature that truly sung during any number of dazzling musical set-pieces.
But it’s with director Dave Green’s “Earth to Echo” that Trapanese truly gets to shine with the major solo stuff that’s been no surprise to anyone in the know all along. What’s unexpected for Trapanese’s fans is that “Echo’s” approach is perhaps more Williams than Carlos-Carpenter, as a warmly melodic orchestral sound takes the lead among invigorating electro-beats.
It’s full of emotional symphonic movement that bicycle-riding kid named Elliot would appreciate, a nicely thematic score that proudly, and un-insultingly announces itself as hip kid’s stuff (in a way as different as imaginable from Trapanese’s throttling return to “The Raid’s” gleeful body count arena). Both mystery, magic and rambunctious authority-defying chases are in the air throughout this call to “Echo,” whether represented through JW-friendly strings or cool, hyper-electronic beats that might make you think its young heroes were zipping about in light cycles.
