Jeff Toyne:
SHADOW IN THE TREES
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

"A nuanced and haunting score that makes effective use of voice, violin and piano; the perfect music to rasie the rural ghosts of the past." - Film Music Weekly

"Shadow in the Trees is the work of a team of perfectionists: it is professional, mature and, most important of all, damn good." - Soundtrack.net

"A big-sounding orchestral score that perfectly captures moments of abandonment, and the revisitation of a seething personal tragedy." - Rue Morgue

"It's nice to hear a young composer writing a film score which is dramatically so mature, clearly tracing a well-considered path... Toyne is clearly a composer to watch, and this is a fine release which may be Moviescore Media's best yet." - Movie Wave

"Show promise for a strong future." - Score Wars

"Intricate orchestration is keynote, with haunting work for solo violin just one of many strong colors." - Intrada

Continuing to explore the music of the most talented and exciting new film composers, MovieScore Media presents Jeff Toyne’s original score from the upcoming horror thriller Shadow in the Trees online as well as on CD distributed by Screen Archives (www.screenarchives.com).

Performed by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra and featuring the leading Canadian women’s choir, Elektra, the score for Shadow in the Trees is a classic, elegant and exciting listening experience. It features a strong main theme and makes use of several other secondary themes, and all of the music is beautifully orchestrated with violin solos (performed by Mark Fewer) playing an important role throughout the work. Besides his work as a composer in his own right, Jeff Toyne has worked as an orchestrator on some of the most exciting action scores to come out of Hollywood in recent time, including Edward Shearmur’s Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrowand Klaus Badelt’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Shadow in the Trees is the first full-length feature film directed by Chris Smith, whose personal experience (losing his father who gave his life to save a young boy from drowning) led to the screenplay and realization of the story about a boy who is suddenly left without a family when his father disappears. The film is produced by TJ Films and stars Chris Smith, Danny Tilles, Nick Smith, Kevin Novotny and Dave Hamilton.
