Harry Gregson-Williams is no stranger to working with blockbuster director Tony Scott after writing scores for “Man on Fire”, “Spy Game”, “Enemy of the State” and the recent “Domino.”
When we visited Harry Gregson-Williams’ studio this fall, he was finishing up the highly electronic score for the new Tony Scott movie “Déjà Vu” starring Denzel Washington. As Harry tweaked the cue he had just played for director Tony Scott and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, we were floored by the power and yet intricate musical parts pouring from the speakers. And of course, many of the cues included Spectrasonics Atmosphere playing its unique sonic signature. We were clued in that Spectrasonics Trilogy and Stylus RMX virtual instruments also grace parts of Déjà Vu’s electronic soundscape as well.
