Skyfall Trailer Music is Techno

It’s official, the music for the Skyfall trailer is techno! We take a closer look at the song and how it fits the movie’s tone.

Introduction

Since the release of the first James Bond movie, “Dr. No,” in 1962, the movies have been known for their theme songs. The Skyfall trailer, which was released last week, has gotten a lot of attention for its music. The question is: what genre does it belong to?

Some have argued that it is techno, while others say it is more likely to be trance or house. However, there is no clear consensus. It seems that the only thing everyone can agree on is that the music is catchy and gets your heart pumping!

The Music

The Opening Scene

The film’s opening scene is set in Turkey, where a British agent named James Bond (played by Daniel Craig) is chasing a mercenary named Patrice (Ola Rapace). The two men fight on top of a moving train, and eventually Bond shoves Patrice off the train to his death.

The Chase Scene

The music in the chase scene is techno. It’s a very intense and exhilarating piece that really gets the adrenaline going. The music helps to heighten the sense of urgency and excitement in the scene, and it’s also just a great piece of music to listen to on its own.

The Fight Scene

As the trailer opens, we see a fight scene taking place in a dark and dingy club. The music that accompanies this scene is techno, with a heavy beat and synthesized sounds. This music creates an intense and tense atmosphere, which is perfect for the action that is taking place on screen.

The Composer

Thomas Newman is an American composer of film and television scores. He has composed the scores for such films as The Shawshank Redemption, Wall-E, Finding Nemo, and Skyfall. He has also composed the music for the popular television show, Friday Night Lights. Newman’s music for Skyfall is a mix of techno and classical, which creates a unique and suspenseful sound.

His Inspiration

As a self-taught musician, Thomas Bergersen started writing music at the age of 14. By the time he was 20, he had released his first album. He has been inspired by a wide variety of music, from metal to classical, and his work reflects this eclectic taste. His music has been featured in trailers for movies such as Skyfall, Interstellar, and The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. In addition to his work in film, Bergersen has also composed music for video games and television shows.

Conclusion

From the very beginning, it was clear that Skyfall was going to be a different kind of Bond movie. Daniel Craig’s grittier, more realistic portrayal of the character has been a marked departure from the light-heartedness of some of the earlier films in the series, and this is reflected in the music as well. Gone are the days of Shirley Bassey belting out a bombastic anthem; instead, we have a pulsing, atmospheric techno track that perfectly sets the tone for this new direction in Bond.

The music for the Skyfall trailer was composed by Thomas Newman, who also did the music for American Beauty and The Shawshank Redemption. He has said that he wanted the music to reflect both the “classic” Bond sound and feel, while also incorporating some modern elements. The result is a track that is both tense and exciting, and which perfectly matches the visuals of the trailer.

So if you’re a fan of classic Bond movies or just looking for something different in your action movie trailers, be sure to give Skyfall a watch – and listen!
