QUOTES
“My goal was to create music that sounds improvised by an exhausted crew aboard a ship navigating choppy waters,” said McCreary. “I wanted the audience to sense dirt beneath fingernails plucking jangly mandolin strings, to feel urgent strains of a hurdy gurdy crank, and to smell stale air wheezing out of old accordion bellows.”
The resulting score, described as raw, salty and authentic, also features what Entertainment Weekly called “Arguably McCreary’s best title theme, and that’s saying quite a bit.“
