Heartless / O.S.T. Heartless / O.S.T. CD

The acclaimed composer of such genre works as the Descent, the Descent: Part 2 and Eden Lake, as well as several scores for director Christopher Nolan (Memento, the Prestige, Insomnia), has composed a haunting score for Philip Ridley's Heartless, the film that won three major awards at the Fantasporto festival last year. Starring Jim Sturgess, the film has been on release in major territories for a while and was released on DVD in the US in April. Described by reviewer Michael Demtschyna as a "moody, classy score that provides both the shocks as well as some surprisingly moving moments," Julyan's Heartless features the composer's typical mix of emotional string writing (including beautiful cello solos) and "under-your-skin" electronic layers. Thematic material is soulful and moving, action writing hard-hitting and exciting ? and the atmosphere and suspense is, as always the case in Julyan's scores, top-notch!
