The School Duel—Original Motion Picture Soundtrack releases digitally today, April 24, via Lakeshore Records, featuring an original score by Trevor Gureckis (“Servant”, “The Friend”).  The dark themes of the dystopian film directed by Todd Wiseman, Jr. are lifted to disturbing heights by the pulsing, industrial synth score. Adding to the ominous intensity of the score is Gureckis’ hypnotic manipulation of the sounds of actual guns clicking, re-loading and shooting.  Get a taste of the soundtrack: listen to “AR Boy” from the album below.  The School Duel is in theaters now.

Notes Gureckis: “’The School Duel’ is set in the Future State of Florida, a world proliferated with guns – not far from where we are now honestly. Visually, the storytelling and cinematography already show you this, but I wanted to world-build that reality into the score, subconsciously. I infused the actual sound of guns – reloading, firing, clicking – slowed down by hundreds of times, giving them an almost breathing quality, a constant undercurrent. The director, Todd Wiseman Jr., and I wanted this to function as a subconscious element of tension throughout the film.”
