Mortal Kombat: Motion Picture Score
''Mortal Kombat: Motion Picture Score'' is the instrumental score album released to accompany the ''Mortal Kombat'' film. The music was composed by George S. Clinton with additional guitar work provided by Buckethead and drums by Brain. The album contains two unused tracks in the film named "Farewell" and "Kids" with the latter been heard off at the end of Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Clinton based his main themes on traditional taiko drums, emphasizing the film's mystical atmosphere and Asian-influenced style. It is also notable that he used Shakuhachi flute, didgeridoos and a Tuvan throat singer to give a more exotic musical landscape unlike other similar scores of the early 90's.
In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter celebrating the 20th anniversary of the film, Clinton mentioned that "For the first test screening they had put a temporary score under it that was mainly traditional orchestral action music, and it became clear that the target audience, which was used to hearing techno music blasting during game play, was not happy with that approach. So that gave me the opportunity to come up with an approach I called “Techno-Taiko-Orcho.” My score would have a techno core with a layer of Asian ethnic instruments (Taiko drums, shakuhachi, Tuvan throat singer) surrounded by an orchestra. But not just a regular orchestra, a Testosterone Orchestra. No treble clef instruments (no flutes, clarinets, trumpets, violins, etc.). Just 18 violas, 14 celli, six basses and lots of low brass — and percussion. It was massive. When music supervisors John Houlihan and Sharon Boyle introduced me to guitar wizard Buckethead, I knew he would become a major element in my score as well".〔http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/mortal-kombat-movie-oral-history-815287〕
Clinton also created the sound effect that suggests the presence of Shang Tsung in the film echoing the usage of multiple didgeridoos in a hall, a popular musical choice along with segments of this score that are used extensively in other film teasers and trailers,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title="Mortal Kombat Score" review )〕 most notable in Roland Emmerich's Godzilla and the Final Destination franchise.
