METROPOLIS
RE-SCORING PROJECT 1927-2027
Gottfried Huppertz originally composed the film's score for a large orchestra. Since then, Giorgio Moroder, The New Pollutants, William Fitzwater for the BBC, and many others have re-scored this classic.
I finally dove into rescoring the entire film—for love of it, nothing less, nothing more.
Though perhaps, deep down, I see the turn our world is taking. Perhaps my frustration seeks to warn us all: we're heading in the wrong direction. Follow the evolution of the project as it unfolds.

Time is precious at this point, and it flies by. I’m still on the road for a tour in Japan, but I can still find time to work on the intro until I’m satisfied with it. I know I can’t pursue perfection, but satisfaction is my goal. That said, I’ve pretty much cleaned up the orchestration and added some ambient and sharp metal guitars. I want it to sound good even though it hasn’t been mixed or mastered yet.
