Get To Know The Newton Brothers, Composers Of ‘The Runner’ Starring Nicolas Cage

With an established relationship to Austin [Stark, the director], this time both had much more time and got into the real scoring process about five months before the movie was released as that was the time when both received a cut of the movie they could work with. Even though the edit of the film changed during the past months it was plenty of time to “try all different kinds of things with the score.”  –SoundtracksandTrailerMusic.com

 

Taylor Newton Stewart Andy Grush, known as the composing team The Newton Brothers, recently chatted with SoundtracksandTrailerMusic.com about their film scoring approach to The Runner, starring Nicolas Cage, Sarah Paulson, Connie Nielsen, Wendell Pierce, Bryan Batt and Peter Fonda.

Lakeshore Records will release The Runner (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) on September 25, 2015.  The album features original music by The Newton Brothers (Oculus, Life Of Crime).  Composers Andy Grush and Taylor Newton Stewart, better known as The Newton Brothers, drew inspiration for their score from both the humanity of the film’s characters and the tense political climate that serves as a backdrop.  Collaborating with director Austin Stark, The Newton Brothers achieved the musical balance by creating a hybrid score combining electronic and symphonic elements with unique instrumentation.
