FEATURE: THE MUSIC OF THE NEEDLE DROPS... PART ONE
Updated: May 19, 2021
Delve into our ode to modern horror media with an exciting new trailer and exclusive sneak peek at the official score - inspired by your favourite horror soundtracks!
It is no secret that some of our most vivid memories of horror media come entirely from the atmospheric music that often surrounds it - in a flurry of soundscape, such greats as Ennio Morricone and John Carpenter emphasise and instil the very terror presented on the screen, solidifying iconic moments of terror in our subconscious.
"In a flurry of soundscape, such greats as Ennio Morricone and John Carpenter emphasise and instil the very terror presented on-screen."
There is also a rich era of synth-led scores that led to an entire generation's obsession with synthwave, darkwave and so much more. This bubbled back into social consciousness with the arrival of Stranger Things - masterfully encompassing that nostalgic 80s sense of horror and adventure.

Our score seeks to pay homage to these great sounds of horror, and will be available in both digital and physical formats in the Limited Edition of The Needle Drops... Volume One. More on this soon!
