A peak into the recording sessions of #whalefall. A film about being swallowed by a whale turns into so much more. So honored to have been supported by over 100 of LA’s finest musicians and singers, as well as the incredible filmmakers.

Scoring the climax of Whalefall required a delicate balance between momentum and deep emotional catharsis. “Son of Whale” carries the emotional resonance of everything that came before it, compressed into a singular moment of resolve and survival.
Most of my process happens in isolation, so being able to pull back the curtain on the scoring stage is rare. Watching this incredible ensemble of musicians breathe humanity into this piece was unforgettable. I am immensely proud of the collaborators who brought this music to life.

In Brian Duffield’s Whalefall, a diver is trapped inside a whale with the clock—and his oxygen—running out. The sound team makes that impossible space feel startlingly close: every shift in the whale’s body and every muffled trace of the ocean presses in around Jay, played by Austin Abrams. Beneath it all, Joseph Trapanese’s score pulses with the urgency of the escape, while keeping us connected to the human story at its heart.
Whalefall is based on the 2023 bestselling novel of the same name by Daniel Kraus.

So incredibly proud and humbled to share that #Whalefall has been nominated for an HMMA alongside artists I’ve studied, revered, and looked up to my entire life.
Huge thanks to @hmmawards for including our score in such legendary company, and thank you to @briancduffield @sasbell @20thcenturystudios for making it all possible. A true pinch-me moment.

The score for Whalefall is anchored by the human voice.
Wordless vocals act as a Greek chorus throughout the film, a counterbalance to the intensely masculine father-son survival story. They appear at the film’s deepest inflection points.
Watching @ourtonality and @alexanderlblake breathe life into this score was magical. Step inside the studio and see how these incredible vocalists shaped the emotional landscape of the film.

“This score really allowed me to crack into some emotions that I really haven’t been able to digest fully, and explore something that I haven’t really explored in many years.” - @joecomposer
It’s fitting that Trapanese believes that the best movie experience is one in which “you go into a dark room, and you emerge changed.” It’s also surprising that the movie that Trapanese has called “the most personal thing I’ve ever done” is about a young man who gets swallowed by a whale. That movie is Whalefall, directed by Brian Duffield and starring Resident Evil’s Austin Abrams and just about everything’s Josh Brolin.
But although Whalefall presents as a survival thriller, and while those moments are appropriately nail-biting, it is ultimately a father-son tale between the guilt-ridden Jay (Abrams) and his emotionally volatile father, Mitt (Brolin).

Mutant, in conjunction with @hollywoodrecords and @20thcenturystudios are proud to present the debut physical release of @joecomposer original soundtrack to Whalefall.
Joe Trapanese’s work on Whalefall is some of the best of his prolific career. A beautiful and kinetic symphony. Like the ocean itself, it is equal parts terrifying and serene. It delicately evokes the dread inherent in the film’s premise, but finds beauty in the belly of the beast.
2xLP pressed on 140-gram color vinyl, with liner notes by Trapanese and director Brian Duffield. Also available on CD.
Now available in the shop.

Behind the scenes building the musical heartbeat of *Whalefall*.
We wanted the percussion to feel raw and claustrophobic, mimicking the crush of depth and Jay’s ticking clock.
Volume UP!
