We chat with TheMenu composer colin_stetson about crafting his eerie score for Mark Mylod’s fantastic dark comedy horror film:
The Menu, the upcoming dark comedy horror film from director Mark Mylod, is best seen with as little pre-existing knowledge of the story as possible. It's a gripping tale, with immense credit due not only to Mark Mylod but to the screenwriters Seth Reiss and Will Tracy, in addition to the movie's cast. Equal parts hilarious and horrifying, The Menu is a masterclass in the execution of a promising premise.
Colin Stetson: Yes, I was sold on the script alone, that's for sure. That's almost always the first thing that I see, and then I'll know whether I want to go any further with a conversation about a film based on that. With a good script, you can tell, and this one specifically was very much in that vein. The music practically wrote itself based on the script. It was very, very clear, and utterly vivid; the tone, the shape, the function of it all.
Colin Stetson: To me, the bones of the whole thing are the pizzicato strings. Pizzicato strings in the orchestral instruments, and later on, after certain moments, I introduce the pizzicato piano strings. They're much more agitated, harsher sounds. That was the first thing that I saw in the script. "Okay, that's the scaffolding. That's the drive. That's the propulsion. That's the humor. That's the artifice for how I connect points A to B throughout.
I saw that was a very, very rare opportunity, because usually a script has more of a gradual development, and certain things are already established in the beginning. But here was a moment where it really was the musical opportunity to do something really rash, very abrupt, and to me, whenever somebody sticks me on something like that, I get a whiff of the possibility to really go very hard in a particular direction, and no one tells me not to... that's my favorite thing.
Some of the percussive things that are in there are actually glasses, and then a few pots and pans, and utensils and things that I found that had good sounds to them. I enlisted my good friend and colleague Greg Fox to come in and play a lot of the more kitchen cabinet sort of sound sources.
