Music inspired by Blade Runner, The Bourne Identity and The Matrix - score | music by mike hiratzka

December 2, 2017
I was on a flight somewhere, during my year of touring
as the playback engineer for Charlie Puth, when I
watched the documentary Score. As a big fan of movie
soundtracks, I was drawn into the movie and was
immediately inspired to write a piece of music on the plane.
I decided to use some software synths that I hadn't used
before to set a unique tone for the record. Arturia's Farfisa
and Solina became the foundations for the intro, along with
Spectrasonic's Omnisphere 2 and Arturia's CS-80V. The
intro is a nod to Vangelis' Blade Runner score, one of my
all time favorites. The song then moves into a driving,
aggressive section inspired by the Paris car chase scene
from The Bourne Identity and the huge lobby shootout from
The Matrix.
Mastered by the late, great John Davis at ‪@MetropolisStudios‬ London. RIP, you are missed my friend.

Wow, incredible work Mike. I did an internship at sound deluxe for a couple months and watched this guy write background music to a movie. It was like a small theater and he sat at his piano watching the movie with full dialog and foley. The music just flowed from that piano as if their were two of him. One watching the movie and the other playing the piano effortlessly and I'll never forget witnessing the movie come alive during the process. I couldn't help but appreciate the level of talent it must take to be able to do that. It's incredible and I will never forget that experience.
