Percy Jackson:Sea of Monsters (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the score album to the 2013 film Percy Jackson:Sea of Monsters . The second instalment of the Percy Jackson film series and the 2010 film Percy Jackson &the Olympians:The Lightning Thief ,it is loosely based on the 2006 novel The Sea of Monsters from Rick Riordan's fantasy adventure novel series Percy Jackson &the Olympians . The film features a musical score composed by Andrew Lockington,replacing Christophe Beck from the first film. The score album was released by Sony Classical Records on August 6,2013.
The film's score was composed by Andrew Lockington,with additional music produced by Tiff Randol and Nicholas Dodd. [1] The album was compiled and produced by Brian Liesegang. It was recorded at the Newman Scoring Stage in 20th Century Fox Studios,with Dodd conducting the Hollywood Studio Symphony orchestra,consisting of 70-members handling instrumental pieces,and a 40-member vocal choir. [1] The score mixing was done in mid-July,supervised by Brad Haehnel,mixing the score in surround sound.
In addition to Lockington's score,an original song titled "To Feel Alive" was recorded by IAMEVE,and included in the film's closing credits. [2] [3] She was the lead vocalist for the film score,and while recording "Thalia's Story",which was integrated throughout the film,she planned to incorporate the theme into a song. [2] She further said "Thor had said that he wanted a really strong hook and for it to be uplifting,so I played the chord changes on piano and sang ideas until it felt pretty strong and then I sent it over to Andrew,who tweaked and sent back. Since the chorus was so big,we wanted the verse to be much darker and the pre-chorus to give a nice lift into the chorus. Lyrically I did a lot of research on Thalia’s character and traditional mythology for inspiration. Ultimately for the lyrics and melody,the main intention for me was to stay connected to Thalia’s story and continue using the song as a way to give her a voice. Arrangement wise,we focused on connecting the sound of IAMEVE with the film orchestration and giving it a real cinematic quality." [2] She recorded the vocals for the song in her home studio,unlike what she did to the score. [3]
James Southall of Movie Wave wrote "Sea of Monsters is very much in the same sort of style –and is even more bland. What we have here is a thematic,primarily orchestral action/adventure score,composed and performed with enthusiasm The music goes in one ear and out the other –nothing sticks. It’s such a shame because I’m delighted to see a score in this style be attached to a (reasonably) high-profile summer movie;but I really can’t bring myself to like it. There’s action and adventure music here but I can’t tell you about any of that either,because as soon as it’s over,I can’t remember a thing about it. Loads of people raved about Journey 2 ;if you were one of them,you’ll almost certainly love Sea of Monsters as well." [4]
For his musical work,Lockington won the BMI Film Music Award, [5] [6] as well as the SOCAN Award for International Film Music. [7] [8] It was one of the 114 eligible contenders to be nominated for Academy Award for Best Original Score at the 86th Academy Awards. [9]
