Son Lux about jumping genres to achieve Marvels 'New Avengers' (interview) – Daily Disney News

Whether you call it Thunderbolts* or The new avenuesIt cannot be denied that the latest entry in Marvel's long -standing franchise is a great time. Between the mature topics and a great action, you may be able to beat your head to its excellent score. You can thank the talented musical trio, which is known as the son of Lux.

This marks the first excursion of the group into music since her Oscar-nominated work on A24 Everything everywhere at once. And while it took almost two years to complete it – and required a slight change in the sound – the band could not be proud of the product.

Recently, the editor -in -chief of wear and tear from Dempsey Pillot of the group of the group with Ian Chang, one of the members of the group, had over the film. Chang is mainly as the drummer of the group, even though he also offers a heavy hand in production. In the interview, he spoke about when the group was recruited for the creative team, the other Marvel films that inspired their work and much more! You can watch the transcript below!

Dempsey Pillot: This is the group's first big trip to the music since the Oscar-nominated work Everything everywhere at once. When did you get the call to join the project?

Ian Chang: We were lucky enough to get the call very early before something was shot, and the strikes gave us an extra long front before the evaluation. This gave us and the director Jake the opportunity to find the sound of the film early and to make music an establishing force in the film, which is very rare, since music is usually part of the post -production process. We recently looked up the date of the first e -mail, and it was May 2, 2023, exactly two years before the film was published!

DP: The group's sound was described as experimentally (one of their songs in Eeaao is literally some of the actors who keep saying “I love you”). How was the jump of music that did not subscribe to a genre to music that had to subscribe to one of the most popular film genres? In other words, did you feel reserved – or did you give any notes that you had to keep when you worked on the film for the first time?

IC: From the beginning, Jake was commissioned by the studio to make a different kind of Marvel film, and this intention extended to music. It was an entertaining challenge to bring our experimental nature and our process into the project and at the same time honor the rich history of thematic orchestral music in the MCU. I think this balance is good through the way we used orchestras in the score. With Marvel's support and trust, we worked with the incredible London Contemporary Orchestra in layers. Starting with adventurous sampling, which we used and manipulated when the letter was completed, and ending with traditional rating sessions to catch the LCO, which really shines the music. The result is an orchestral spectrum, which ranges from surreal orchestral textures to the grounded orchestra sound that we all know and love.

DP: One of the critics in my screening literally began to dance when “It's Bucky” arrived. This song alone is a perfect example of how familiar and yet exciting the music of this film feels. What was the song you enjoyed the most?

IC: The big action moments are obviously funny, but some of the other really funny scenes in the score are the humorous, whereby “The Climb” is my favorite. Finding the right tone to support the dry humor in this film was fun, but also one of the most tender and most challenging things.

DP: Were there other Marvel films or non-marvel films that were inspired by you?

IC: The iconic rhythmic motif of Alan Silvestris 'Avengers' Topic at the head of “Thunderbolts*” with our thematic material was such an entertaining way to convey the Ah, Hah new Avengers. Now that the score and the film were a bit outside, it was cool to see how people record it.

DP: One of the biggest topics in the film is mental health. Are there certain pieces that were born in mind?

IC: Anyone who knows our music outside of the film also knows that our music tends to have a melancholic feeling, so we really had the feeling that we could fully get ourselves to present this important topic. This appears in moments like “I don't see your mistakes” and “not alone”.

DP: I know that it is definitely too early to ask, but it doesn't hurt. Have you asked to work on something else in the MCU?

IC: We don't have!

DP: What's next for you?

IC: We stay busy! Excited to dive into a film by Bassam Tariq called “Your mother, your mother, your mother”, with Mahershala Ali. We also always work on not film -related music, more.
