His work for Return to Silent Hill marks his third time writing music for a motion picture set in the SILENT HILL universe, but this time he returns as the sole composer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe score for the motion picture was guided by three guiding principles he’s developed while working on SILENT HILL scores – to “not decide music through emotions,” an aspiration to “blur the boundary between music and environmental sound, between reality and the inner world,” and finally, to “not reject beauty.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“The horror of SILENT HILL is not merely unpleasant or violent. There is always something fragile, human, and irretrievably beautiful mixed within it. Refusing to deny that has remained unchanged since the beginning,” Yamaoka explains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking closely with director Christophe Gans, Yamaoka built the score piece by piece to extract the underlying sensibility of the world of SILENT HILL 2 and reconstruct it into music that can stand on its own as a film score. Series veterans will recognize iconic cues from the video games that have been reimagined in tracks such as “Chasing Laura” and “Brookhaven Hospital”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e“The goal was never to replay the game’s music as it was,” Yamaoka explains.  “Instead, the challenge was to reinterpret it—to alter its meaning, its distance, and its placement—so it could breathe within the film’s sense of time, imagery, and the inner lives of the characters. It was not a quotation, but a reimagining.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you consider yourself a master of survival horror or this is your first time stepping into the fog of SILENT HILL, the Return to Silent Hill Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is a melting pot of distorted sounds and jagged textures unified by a single sensation: unstable, murky, and yet somehow beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Assai Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57835066950015,"sku":"LMLP365","price":50.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1565\/5653\/files\/9d96d2cc84434001b7dd36de597a607d.jpg?v=1782397065","url":"https:\/\/assai.co.uk\/products\/akira-yamaoka-return-to-silent-hill-original-motion-picture-soundtrack-vinyl-lp-due-out-29-01-27","provider":"Assai Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
