Below are the tracks I composed for the film under the direction of the principle composer - Richard Band. He was unable to compose the full score due to scheduling issues so he assigned me to compose music to roughly 2/3 of the movie. He allowed me to take the lead on the orchestration and overall soundscape of unusal insruments to help give color to the score. From there he would compose his cues based on themateiral and ideas I came up with.
