Alexandre Desplat * Jurassic World Rebirth (Original Soundtrack) [New LP]

Mutant, in partnership with Back Lot Music, are proud to present the physical media debut of Universal Pictures' Jurassic World Rebirth Original Motion Picture Soundtrack with music by two-time Grammyr and Academy Awardr-winning composer Alexandre Desplat. To create the score for Jurassic World Rebirth, director Gareth Edwards turned to a distinguished friend, two-time Oscarr winner Alexandre Desplat (The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Shape of Water), who worked with Edwards on Godzilla. "I feel very fortunate to be doing the music for a movie franchise like this, which entertained me so greatly, as a filmgoer, for decades," Desplat says. "I dreamed of writing music for movies like this since I was a teenager, and now, here I am," he adds with a laugh, "part of Jurassic World, almost a teenager." Rebirth represents the second time that Desplat has stepped into a franchise and inherited and adapted iconic musical motifs written by an artist he considers his "forever idol," the legendary John Williams: Desplat previously took on that challenge with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Parts 1 and 2. "John Williams wrote a fantastic melody for Jurassic Park that I now get to reinvent, rejigger and resculpt in ways benefit our movie," Desplat says. "My desire was not to bluntly quote John's score but subtly echo it or make use of it in the original score I have written for the film in playful and meaningful ways." "Continuing in the legacy of composers like John Williams, Don Davis, and Michael Giacchino - Alexandre Desplat brings the action packed Jurassic World: Rebirth to life with equal parts bombast, and tenderness." says Mo Shafeek, co-founder of Mutant. "Beautiful piano melodies give reprieve from thundering percussion, in this beautiful and essential addition to the Jurassic franchise."
