Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the film score to the Marvel Studios film Doctor Strange composed by Michael Giacchino. Hollywood Records will release the album on October 21, 2016.


 

BACKGROUND
 

In May 2016, Michael Giacchino revealed that he would score the film. 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." The score was recorded at Abbey Road Studios. 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".


 

ADDITIONAL MUSIC
 

Derrickson, a Bob Dylan fan, looked for a place in the film to include one of his songs, but could not find one. However, he was able to include a song by Pink Floyd from the 1960s.
