Composition

edit

In a press release that accompanied the announcement of the score's release, Dixon and Stein disclosed that they made an album "that doesn’t feel like a ‘score’ necessarily, but one that feels more like a stand-alone record than a collection of brief cues. We’ve incorporated the main narrative elements of the series and stayed true to the original sound while at the same time expanding on our musical palette – we often pushed it to the limit."[1][2] They also stated that they "made an effort to curate this album to showcase the moments we think are really special."[1][2]
