Now available from Madison Gate Records comes Morbius Original Motion Picture Soundtrack – Music by Jon Ekstrand from the latest blockbuster Marvel/Sony superhero film.

Morbius is directed by Daniel Espinosa and stars Jared Leto, Matt Smith, Adria Arjon, Jared Harris, Al Madrigal and Tyrese Gibson.

The soundtrack features 23 tracks by Ekstrand, who researched sounds that bats make and pushed his orchestra to replicate those sounds using instruments throughout the score.
Also due to the vampiric nature of the infamous Marvel antihero, the Swedish composer was also inspired by classic horror scores by the likes of John Carpenter, leaning in to the character's monstrous nature rather than creating your expected superhero score.

Directed by Ekstrand's longtime collaborator Daniel Espinosa, Morbius follows one of the most compelling and conflicted characters in Sony Pictures Universe of Marvel Characters with Oscar® winner Jared Leto transforming into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius.
Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While at first it seems to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil – or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?

About Jon Ekstrand

Jon Ekstrand is a Stockholm based Swedish film composer and artist. He began his career under the mentorship of acclaimed sound designer Owe Svensson, where he sharpened his skills at understanding the power of sound and its dramaturgic importance in helping a story realize its potential. In 1998, whilst attending Stockholm Film School, Ekstrand met Director Daniel Espinosa, in which the two formed a tight creative relationship which continues to this day.

Ekstrand and Espinosa have collaborated on seven films, including the hit trilogy “Easy Money” as well as Hollywood Studio Films “Child 44,” “Life,” and the Marvel film “Morbius.” Jon is also scoring the 2022 biopic feature “Hilma,” by acclaimed director Lasse Hallström, about the life or revered abstract artist and spiritual pioneer Hilma af Klint.

Jon has had a rich career within films, having worked the entire spectrum of the sound team – from boom operator, sound recordist, to sound designer and today as accoladed composer. Ekstrand is a self-confessed synthesizer addict, and generally starts building his scores around electro acoustic elements. His scores range in genre from more minimal arthouse ambient to epic thriller dramas, where he has recorded with full orchestras at both Air Studios in London, Colombia Studios and Sony Studios in Los Angeles. To date, Ekstrand has scored over 30 films and TV series, has been nominated for Three Swedish Gullbaggage Awards, and in January 2020 was awarded The Danish Film Institutes Robert Award, for his 2019 score to the film Queen of Hearts.

Ekstrand is passionate and actively engaged in expanding diversity within the film industry and is part of a composer’s mentorship program arranged through the Swedish collecting society STIM.
