Mama
Composed by Fernando Velázquez
Quartet Records
January 14, 2013
Reviewing scores for horror films proves to be a challenge mainly because the genre of music tends to be inherently difficult to assess as one would any other type of score. Much of this has to do with the fact that horror music is incidental in a more sensationalized manner, often responding, in exaggerated ways, to the events that transpire on screen. However, there are certain composers who approach the genre and provide the listener with a bit more depth to go off of, and Fernando Velázquez is that type of composer.
With Mama, Velázquez harkens back to his evocative work on The Orphanage and uses wavering and discordant tones, all typical to the horror music genre, with poise, imbuing the score with refreshingly dramatic weight. Yet he never loses sight of the fact that he’s creating music for terrorizing circumstances.
