“One of the most original and terrifying horror films” (Planet of Terror) and a “psychological horror masterpiece” (All Things Horror Online), Gregg Holtgrewe’s low budget genre movie Dawning (winner of major awards at the Rhode Island International Horror Film Festival, Solstice Film Festival and Las Vegas Film Festival) features an original score that is one of the creepiest we’ve heard in a long time. Nathaniel Levisay’s music has more in common with modernist concert music than traditional film scores. The composer felt that the film “does need a mostly aleatoric support line, but something that is cinematic as well.” Some of the music was written traditionally and other parts were created in a way reflective of musique concrète. Screamwork Records’ soundtrack album features the complete original score from the film which was unusually sparsely scored. Nathaniel Levisay conducts The Mare Incognitum Nautae.
