Zero Dark Thirty

Alexandre Desplat's Zero Dark Thirty is a masterful soundtrack that accompanies the 2012 film of the same name, directed by Kathryn Bigelow. Released on 19 December 2012 through Madison Gate Records, this 52-minute album is a testament to Desplat's versatility as a composer. Featuring 18 tracks, including 'Flight to Compound', 'Drive to Embassy', and 'Ammar', the score is a clever blend of muted orchestral colours, biting and bubbling beneath the surface of the drama.

Desplat's seventh and final score of 2012, Zero Dark Thirty showcases his ability to add depth and emotion to complex scenes. The music sits low in the film's mix, yet it is an integral part of the overall experience. Performed by The London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Desplat himself, the soundtrack is a work of art that complements the film's intense and dramatic narrative.

As a composer, Alexandre Desplat has had a prolific career, with notable works including Argo, Moonrise Kingdom, and Rise of the Guardians. His score for Zero Dark Thirty is a prime example of his skill in creating music that enhances the cinematic experience. With its dark and dramatic tones, this album is a must-have for fans of film soundtracks and Alexandre Desplat's work. Available in various formats, including CD and digital, Zero Dark Thirty is a compelling addition to any music collection.
