About this album

Film Music is a striking early statement of Mark Isham’s film work, showcasing the elegant restraint and emotional detail that would become his signature. Issued in 1985, the album draws together cues associated with films such as Mrs. Soffel, The Times of Harvey Milk and Never Cry Wolf, blending ambient electronics, minimalism and modern classical textures. Isham’s trumpet, subtle synthesiser colours and careful pacing give the music a reflective, often haunting quality. As an early example of his screen music, it helped define a sophisticated crossover between electronic composition and narrative scoring.
