What They’re Saying:
- David Schweitzer: “I wanted the score to feel like it grew out of the sound of the events, so I began by sampling audio from the archive footage (the water, the wind, the rumble of passing debris) and creating musical textures and beds out of this. Often I began a cue by playing a low rumble (filtered and pitched, but derived from the sound of the tsunami) and then let the score grow out of it, with basses, cellos, violins emerging from the ‘noise.’ The overall story of the 2004 Tsunami is obviously one of tragedy, but there was also a great deal of humanity and even hope in the survivors’ stories. I’m proud of the way the score helps these profoundly moving moments come into focus across the series.”
