Don Davis - The Matrix (The Complete Score) '1999

Tracks list

The Wachowskis and Davis collaborated on The Matrix trilogy - the high-tech,
virtual-reality action thriller starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne,
which turned out to be not only one of the biggest blockbusters, but one of the
best received films of the year. Davis work for the three scores incorporates
elements of popular music, electronic synthesizer effects, and even a touch of
the avant-garde: the orchestral score features three grand pianos, one prepared
(a process where all manner of objects are wedged in between the wires of a
piano) and two standard. Much of The Matrix music keys off the films remarkable
visual sense. Davis often employs an echoic, antiphonal orchestral effect-where
different sections of the orchestra imitate each other at varying speeds - in
order to support the films heavy use of reflective imagery. The music also
incorporates perpetual motion motifs to portray the storys tumultuous layers of
reality. This compositional technique allows Davis to stay within set harmonic
territory while exploring intriguing orchestral textures and colors.
