Film.Music.Media | All Access: Christopher Young @FilmMusicMedia | Uploaded April 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Christopher Young’s talent as a storyteller is only rivaled by his kindness as a human being. Chris has firmly cemented himself as one of the most iconic film composers across a variety of genres, but it was in the horror genre where he was able to carve a path for his career early on.
We dive into Chris’s path to becoming a storyteller including early scores like A Nightmare On Elm Street 2, Hellraiser, and working for legendary filmmaker Roger Corman. Chris explores what got him into horror and why he seems to come back to the genre even though his career is not defined by it.
We explore Chris’s work from scores like Hard Rain, The Core, Bandits, The Shipping News, The Grudge, Spider-Man 3, Sinister, The Monkey King, and of course his new score to Pet Sematary.
Other topics include working with directors, avoiding typecasting, finding the first note, teaching, and finding inspiration from within the film you’re working on.
Chris is one of the kindest and most sincere people in the business, and it was a real honor to have him for this All Access.

![Behind The Music For Unbroken - Path To Redemption [EXCLUSIVE]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/apAmA0EP-iU/hqdefault.jpg "Behind The Music For Unbroken - Path To Redemption [EXCLUSIVE]
In Unbroken: Path To Redemption, composer Brandon Roberts created memorable themes and unique musical arcs that reflect the post-war stage of famed athlete/POW Louis Zamperini’s life story. The challenge in the film was that much of his struggle was internal, so the music was essential in expressing the complexity of Zamperini’s emotions, inner turmoil, and ultimate salvation.
One highlight of the score featured in this video was that Brandon acquired some WW2 casings online for use in his music. He was intrigued by the resonant qualities of brass artillery shells and. The vision behind it was to create a palette of melodic, rhythmic and ambient sounds that would make up the musical palette for Louis’ PTSD struggles and flashbacks to his torture at the hands of Mutsuhiro “The Bird” Watanabe.
Through a lot of experimentation and electronic processing, the shells yielded some uniquely effective results. These historic brass casings were bowed, performed, electronically manipulated and then combined with synthesized elements and a symphony orchestra to musically tell the story of the second half of Louis Zamperini’s amazing life journey.
The soundtrack was published by Universals Back Lot Music and is available on digital platforms like iTunes - http://smarturl.it/UnbrokenPTR
