Review:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elia Cmiral returns to the Atlas Shrugged <\/strong>franchise with another robust score, seamlessly integrating a large orchestra with fairly modest electronic elements in a classically written work that embraces expansive melody, rich harmonies, and beautiful colours from strings and a wordless chorus.<\/p>\n

Most electronic elements seem isolated to backbeats and clattering rhythms, accentuating a hastening tempo, and adding extra percussive density to tracks like \u201cThe Strike,\u201d but Cmiral uses a more organic group of percussion instruments in the moody \u201cProject F,\u201d with snare drums, deep drum hits, and a marvelous sonic wave with interweaving strings, emphasizing vibrato, and accentuating the musical drama with hard-hit piano keys.<\/p>\n

Galt<\/strong>\u2019s main theme is driven by an eddying ostinato, which Cmiral uses as the main underpinning for his striking variations, such as the string-heavy \u201cReturn to the Dark,\u201d with cresting passages augmented with discretely applied brass. The tender variation \u201cDesire\u201d is performed on piano with strings in a kind of mini-concerto, and the cue is one of a few tender moments which balance the score\u2019s more ominous sections.<\/p>\n

Galt<\/strong> is very different from Cmiral\u2019s horror films, showing the composer in a classical state of mind, and offering a striking variety of colours while staying close to the main theme\u2019s romantic tone. The mastering is very clean \u2013 the CD edition likely contains more resonant bass tones than the digital release \u2013 and beautifully orchestrated.<\/p>\n
