Background
[edit]In May 2016, Michael Giacchino revealed that he would score the film.[3] Director Scott Derrickson called the score "magic in the literal sense of the word" adding Giacchino "is doing what good scorers do, which is he is not just creating music that supports the images, he's adding a third thing to the movie. It becomes something new with his music in there that it didn't have with temp music."[4] The score was recorded at Abbey Road Studios with additional score recorded at Studio Miraval in France.[5] During the recording session, Paul McCartney heard one of Giacchino's cues being recorded, which he likened to The Beatles song "I Am the Walrus".[6]
