THE WITCH: An Interview with Composer Mark Korven
One of the greatest things I get to do here at GeekTyrant (and GameTyrant!) is interview some of the greatest minds in geek culture. Add Mark Korven to that list of brilliant artists, as I had the chance to speak with him about his genius new work on the new horror film The Witch.
Mark has worked in films since the '80s; if you caught that Twilight Zone reboot back then, that was one of his first gigs. So the guy definitely knows what’s up, as he’s been composing music for movies and TV since I had to flick the UHF/VHF channels and hook up bunny ears to my wood-grained TV.
Working on The Witch, Korven talks about how director Robert Eggers had a very clear idea in mind as to what he wanted for every aspect of this film. I hope you enjoy creepy sounds, because that’s for sure what is going on in this soundtrack, and it's done with sheer originality and style. Combining what I’ve been hearing about the film with what I’ve heard in this soundtrack, looks like we might be in for the delightful experience of another horror creation that will go down as a classic. The soundtrack is available on iTunes.
