Recording ‘Land of the Lost’

Hooray!  Scoring Sessions.com just uploaded photos from the recording session to Michael Giacchino’s score for
Land of the Lost.

Conducted by Tim Simonec, the score was performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony, an 88-piece ensemble, and a 35-person choir. The scoring took place at 20th Century Fox’s Newman Scoring Stage and at the Eastwood Scoring Stage at Warner Bros. Dan Goldwasser of Scoring Session.com describes the music as “big and dramatic, with a strong main theme and lots of percussion to provide a more primal edge to the music.”   I guess that would explain the French horn section playing conch shells.  Goldwasser also describes the end titles track as a “a fun cue that combines a driving energy with guitars, banjo, rock band elements and drum kit with full orchestra.”

Land of the Lost is a film adaptation of the classic television show from creators Sid and Marty Krofft .  Directed by Brad Silberling and staring Will Ferrell, Anna Friel and Danny McBride.   Land of the Lost will hit theaters tomorrow, June 5, 2009.  The soundtrack from Varese Sarabande, will be available on June 23.  Can’t wait!
