Breaks down his music from the film were part of his job was to score the excitement of scientific discovery and the grandeur and mystery of mars itself. He begins with how director ridley Scott first offered in the job to work on the film a script

It was in our brain, and I certainly somehow really wanted to do I'm harry gregson williamson, the composer of the martian score our first conversations were about tone and color and he showed me a very myself- very complete, first assembly, the film so the film had really taken shape by the time I came to it, The outcome of the first meeting really was that I should focus on botany matt Damon character, which is pretty clear that I should from the script is optimism for life. His love of science and problem solving that he was. seems to be able to handle with humor and charisma

all this should be reflected in the music it in that there is no reason for the music to be too dark for too long in this form, and that was quite a revelation to begin with, because I had thought, though, belong to die, listen and despair.

I didn't want it to be candid, and that kind of limiting me hop seemed absolutely perfect, and then I'd stick out. That's right, delay on it. I wanted that feeling like a mounting excitement music I had to find a way of embracing a kind the scientific side of the fun he was having

to begin with. I wanted to have some fun with little are since in the past, sometimes I'd say my schools, since with a little bit of orchestra poking its head through this one.
