Behind the scenes with The Flight Music recording their incredible score for IO Interactive’ latest Bond adventure, 007 First Light.
“We’ve been blending sweeping orchestral elegance with modern electronics and production to tell the story of a Bond who hasn’t yet become the iconic 007 – a project that feels made for The Flight… It’s been exhilarating and deeply rewarding.” Joe Henson, speaking to Music Week.
The strings were recorded here at Angel Studios Angel Recording Studios, with brass recorded in Studio One at Abbey Road, both performed by the Chamber Orchestra of London, adding that classic cinematic scale to a score that draws on the musical legacy of 007 while bringing a fresh sound to the franchise.
Released in May, 007 First Light has already sold over 3 million copies within it’s first two weeks. Congratulations to The Flight and everyone involved in this truly incredible soundtrack.
