Want to know what went into making the score for the film? The Annotator features an interesting interview with composer Daniel Pemberton below. Here’s their description:

In this episode, Daniel Pemberton unties his musical web of themes; instruments and technics he used for Into the Spider-Verse. He dives deep into his unique utilization of the hip-hop staple of record-scratching, where HE employs Londoner DJ Blakey and his multifaceted scratching abilities in a multi-layered recording process that may also be a first. He also talks about writing this score both in London but also, due to the ongoing collaborative nature of the project, in Los Angeles. There, he found himself in a small bit of space in the Sony Animation studio, from where he would complete the score as the production period of the film wound to a close.

    Forged in Fury Vol. 2 – Modular Weapon Sound Design Kit

    Forged in Fury Vol. 2 continues the philosophy of providing fully modular sounds, allowing you to design and customize your weapon audio exactly as you need.
