Four weeks ahead of the Marvel actioner thriller’s worldwide release, Disney’s Hollywood Records recently offered details for the original Iron Man 3 soundtrack via the composer and conductor himself, Brian Taylor. In addition, Disney also provided Track Sounds and Ain’t It Cool News’ ScoreKeeper with promos of Taylor’s score, for which they've tweeted their reactions.
Marvel Music/Hollywood Records will release the original motion picture soundtrack for “Iron Man 3” on April 30, 2013. Brian Tyler composed & conducted the original score. Tyler said, “When Marvel & Shane Black approached me about scoring ‘Iron Man 3,’ I was thrilled as a long-time fan of the series and super hero films in general. We all wanted this score to have a deeply thematic component with a strong melody. We felt that the story would lend itself best to go classic and use the orchestra as the main voice of the music, with horns & trumpets singing the new Iron Man theme in a strong way. I conducted the London Philharmonic at Abbey Road in order to give the score a sound that felt powerful enough to live up to its name. Shane Black was very supportive & collaborative in his vision for the film & the score, and Kevin Feige was also a kindred spirit in really reaching for something special. Both of them are incredible film score buffs, and we all spoke the same film music language, which made for an awesome experience. In the end we went for a score that echoed the classics of super hero film history with a few surprises like a wild 1960s style main title piece that was an absolute blast to record.”
After listening to the score,
Track Sounds says,
“Suffice it to say, those things you loved best from the scores of The Dark Knight, The Amazing Spider-Man, and even The Avengers all come together here with Brian Tyler tying it all together with his signature sound. You might say, "Wha?" "Huh?" But you can just stop that now and do some trusting. It's quite a ride...with a final track that you are NOT expecting...but will probably love.”
