CD REVIEWS “Melodically Douglas Romayne shows immense talent and I can't wait to hear more by him. [Expressing the Inexpressible] is a wonderful calling card for a composer who is well and truly on the way up!” “A great anthology from a composer who writes in reassuringly thematic prose and crafts lush melodies and emotion out of sound” “It's hard to come out from under the shadow of a cult TV series like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel, but this compilation CD featuring selections from 8 scores by Douglas Romayne is both a superb promo for the composer's skillful writing, and an addictive album, particularly for film music fans wanting music with a rich, elegant orchestral sound...” “This album…is a fabulous demonstration of Romayne's ability to create melodic, large-sounding scores in many genres…This release is highly recommended for those interested in hearing a voice that we can only hope will move on to more high profile [film] assignments…” |

About The Music...I've been privileged early in my career to work with a number of talented, emerging filmmakers. Their films have afforded me the opportunity to work in a wide range of genres, styles and scoring techniques. The music on this album represents the results of these collaborations: from the elegiac Americana of FREEDOMLAND, to the magical and quirky fairy-tale character of ROCKETBOY, to the propulsive action and ominous threat of ENTITY: NINE, to the hushed, enveloping textures of SHELTER. Ultimately, these varied approaches and styles serve story, be it the life-long lovers in SUNDAY PAPER, a mother and daughter struggling to move beyond tragedy in THE TRUTH ABOUT FACES, an ambitious businessman losing his family in ANTEBODY, or sisters who've made a devastating discovery in BEYOND THE SILENCE. For me, film music works best when it is utilized to express the unseen, the unsaid, the inexpressible. This has been the fun challenge of these films, and if the filmmaker's comments on my scores are any indication, there's been some measure of success. On Project are additional thoughts about each of the films presented here and the process the directors and I went through to create the score. |
