SoundtrackNet has posted their Pick of the Week - the soundtrack composed by Harry Gregson-Williams for the movie The Number 23 starring Jim Carrey. There are 30 second sound clips available for each track, and the soundtrack will be released on February 20.
The Number 23 is not much different from his recent score to Deja Vu in its elements, but they are utilized in a different way. This score is less thematic and uses the electronics as the primary rhythmic tool rather than the moving string lines that were one of the thematic elements in Deja Vu. That having been said, there are a few moments where the strings do pick up a moving line, for example at the beginning of “Finishing the Book”, in a similar fashion to Batman Begins.
Check out the article on SoundtrackNet. The sound clips are very interesting… it sounds like an intense movie. I swear I heard a dog bark in the second half of the track #6 clip, “Finishing the Book”!
