Intrada presents the first of four volumes of music from the COSMOS: A SpaceTime Odyssey, with Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson taking over as host in this 2014 continuation of the series Carl Sagan produced in 1980. Featuring all-new state-of-the-art CGI, animation and a wealth of cutting-edge scientific fact, the new Cosmos takes the viewer on a journey through space and time, often presenting breathtaking visuals to enhance amazing facts about the origin and wonders of how the world came to be and why.

To support this stunning voyage, Alan Silvestri was hired to compose a large-scale symphonic score to capture and unify the different stories in each episode. This wealth of music is presented across four volumes, the first of which Intrada presents today. The album, produced by the composer, includes bonus tracks not previously released, including an alternate main title. The score is rich and full of wonder, often reminiscent of previous Silvestri scores such as Contact and even parts of Judge Dredd.

Join us on a musical journey through spacetime and feel the mysteries of the cosmos.

Composed and Conducted by Alan Silvestri

Volume 1 of Alan Silvestri Cosmos soundtrack music premieres on CD with bonus tracks! Cosmos: A SpaceTime Odyssey is epic 2014 continuation of famed Carl Sagan television series from 1980. New series features Neil deGrasse Tyson as host with cutting edge CGI, animation, science fact blending into new, compelling journey through space and time. Along for the ride, sometimes leading, sometimes in tow is rich symphonic score by Alan Silvestri. Launching with memorable main theme, equal parts thoughtful and stirring, Silvestri’s score brings unity to massive visual and musical undertaking. Spread across four volumes (2, 3 & 4 arrive in the coming months), each is produced by composer Silvestri. CD versions include bonus tracks not available on digital downloads plus gorgeous full color packaging. Silvestri covers wide range of musical material, from gentle and mysterious to powerful and exciting. Highlights are many: the broad, major key orchestral/choral sonorities trading with delicate solo colors of “Giordano Bruno”, the lively rhythmic pulse and brass fanfares surrounding contemplative ideas for “The Cosmos Is Yours”, the soaring and spirited flourish and sweep of “Revelation of Immensity”, numerous others. Lavishly recorded by Simon Rhodes at Abbey Road in London, mixed by Dennis Sands, mastered by Patricia Sullivan at Bernie Grundman Mastering. Mark Graham, Gavin Greenaway, Alan Silvestri conduct.
