After their initial discussions, he sketched those ideas and visited on set to get a clarity on the musical landscape and build the sonic foundation for the score. Abrams could not fully participate in the musical discussions as he was directing Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015) but joined it after completing the film. Trachtenberg found the musical score to evoke Bernard Herrmann's compositions for Alfred Hitchcock's films, but also takes inspiration from Ennio Morricone and Jerry Goldsmith's science fiction and thriller scores during the 1960s–1970s.Thrower Emma January 3, 2016 10 Cloverfield Lane director Dan Trachtenberg on Bad Robot and fan theories https://empireonline.com/movies/features/10-cloverfield-lane-director-dan-trachtenberg-bad-robot-fan-theories/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20170807214313/https://empireonline.com/movies/features/10-cloverfield-lane-director-dan-trachtenberg-bad-robot-fan-theories/ August 7, 2017 2 March 2016 Empirehttps://www.npr.org/2016/03/10/469951870/from-television-to-10-cloverfield-lane-a-composer-plays-with-surprise-and-luck From Television To '10 Cloverfield Lane,' A Composer Plays With Surprise — And Luck 2016-03-10 Radio broadcast All Things Considered 2024-08-13 https://web.archive.org/web/20160414213248/https://www.npr.org/2016/03/10/469951870/from-television-to-10-cloverfield-lane-a-composer-plays-with-surprise-and-luck 2016-04-14 live National Public Radio
Since the film is mostly set in a contained environment, he wanted to develop a tense score which would be tight, close and claustrophobic but also provide an epic feel and develop the score bigger as the film is a part of a broader cinematic universe.Kwok Chuen Marine Wong 2016-04-07 Bear McCreary's dark and melodic score for 10 Cloverfield Lane http://magazine.scoreit.org/bear-mccreary-10-cloverfield-lane/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20240221094844/http://magazine.scoreit.org/bear-mccreary-10-cloverfield-lane/ 2024-02-21 2024-08-13 Score It Magazine en-US Abrams' involvement, who had a keen eye on the film's music, pushed the score in a more cinematic direction and evolved the film's tone as well. The resultant score eventually became a culmination of the aforementioned factors which was a unique mix of sounds.McFarland Kevin 2016-03-16 How a Brilliant TV Composer Moved on Up to 10 Cloverfield Lane https://www.wired.com/2016/03/10-cloverfield-lane-composer-bear-mccreary/ live https://web.archive.org/web/20180828172232/https://www.wired.com/2016/03/10-cloverfield-lane-composer-bear-mccreary/ 2018-08-28 2024-08-13 Wired en-US 1059-1028 The music in the first act had percussive sounds, for which McCreary used a blaster beam, most famous for its use in Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Most of the film score had an orchestral palette but also blended propulsive percussion sounds with the addition of multiple instruments. It was considered to be the soul of the film. He used a Turkish instrument named the yaylı tambur which was prominently used in the score, and custom percussions made from the sounds of cans, barrels, cinderblocks, broken glass and hit machinery which McCreary recorded in his warehouse. Those sounds combined to provide a mix of orchestral, synth and electro-acoustic score jammed together in one.
