about

It was a true privilege to compose the score for the first in this new line of Hammer Horror films, under the new ownership of John Gore. The brand has such a rich musical history and I've always been a fan of their classic scores, in particular James Bernard's work. Fans may even notice that the main theme rhythmically spells out the title 'Doctor Jekyll', just as many of those films did in the past.

Our director, Joe Stephenson, was looking for a bold, gothic, and dramatic score mixing traditional Hammer tropes with a modern sensibility. Much like Jekyll and Hyde, this a score of two parts, recorded with two different orchestras - the Budapest Art Orchestra and The Royal Scottish National Orchestra. This helped to emphasise the split personality of the score switching from sparse haunting horror to the operatic gothic explosions we hear towards the end of the film. A 30-person choir helped achieve a sense of scale when we needed it and Jekyll's textural effects are performed on a variety of rare old string instruments such as the Viola Da Gamba and Stroh Violin, evoking the sense of an ancient evil. After speaking with the team, I'm very excited about the new direction Hammer is taking, and I know we're both enthusiastic about the potential of future collaborations.
