GALAXIS / DNA

Quartet Records, in collaboration with MoviScore Media, presents a limited-edition CD featuring two exciting sci-fi action and horror scores by Christopher L. Stone: GALAXIS (1995) and DNA (1996), both directed by William Mesa.

GALAXIS, starring Brigitte Nielsen, Richard Moll and Cindy Morgan, is a science fiction adventure about a sacred crystal believed to be the source of all life, and a warrior who travels to Earth to prevent it from falling into evil hands. DNA, starring Jurgen Prochnow, Mark Dacascos and Robin McKee, follows a terrifying genetic experiment that brings a deadly jungle creature to life.

Both films offered Stone the opportunity to unleash his energetic, rhythmically driven orchestral writing, combining relentless action, suspense and spectacular musical set pieces. Working with relatively small orchestras, the composer achieved remarkable clarity and precision in the intricate, lightning-fast passages that characterize his exciting action music. Stone particularly enjoyed the creative freedom afforded by these projects, recalling: "I love fast cars and fast music. It's all Rock 'n' Roll!"

Christopher L. Stone is an accomplished composer for film, television and video games whose credits include PHANTASM II, TICKS, TREASURE ISLAND, THE STUPIDS, WALKER: TEXAS RANGER and TALESPIN, as well as the groundbreaking orchestral score for the video game DRAGON'S LAIR.

Bringing together two entertaining examples of mid-1990s genre film scoring, GALAXIS / DNA is a thrilling showcase of Stone's exuberant orchestral style, now available together on one limited-edition CD.
