The War Of The Worlds (BBC Soundtrack)

Written By Russ Davies

I’m excited to share the release of the official soundtrack for the BBC adaptation of H.G. Wells’ classic sci-fi novel, The War of the Worlds. The soundtrack, featuring my hybrid electronic-orchestral score, is now available as of 1st December 2019. You can listen to it here: Stream Now.

Scoring The War of the Worlds was an incredible experience. The aim was to capture the story’s tension, emotion, and futuristic themes by blending sweeping orchestral elements with experimental electronic sounds. This fusion reflects the timeless nature of the story while bringing a modern edge to its classic sci-fi narrative.

The response to both the series and the music is amazing. The soundtrack has been praised by critics, with highlights including:

  • Daily Mail: 5 Stars

  • TV Guide: 5 Stars

  • The Guardian: 4 Stars

  • Daily Mirror: 4 Stars

I hope you enjoy immersing yourself in the soundscapes of The War of the Worlds.
