Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (soundtrack)

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the official soundtrack album for the 2024 film Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes. The album was released on May 10, 2024 by Hollywood Records.
==Background==
The music for the film was composed by John Paesano, marking his fourth collaboration with director Wes Ball after working on the Maze Runner film trilogy. Paesano is the third composer in the Planet of the Apes reboot series, following Patrick Doyle and Michael Giacchino. He aimed to honor Jerry Goldsmith's score for the original 1968 film and Giacchino's work on the previous installments. He also took the score in a new direction to match the franchise's evolution.
The soundtrack features a blend of organic instrumentation and a soundscape that includes a detuned and imperfect piano cue, reflecting the post-apocalyptic setting of the film. The percussion base incorporates motifs from Goldsmith's original themes, using oil drums to add a unique texture to the score. The album is noted for its thematic depth, with three recurring themes representing the discovery of a new world, the eagle clan, and the character Noa's journey of self-discovery. These themes evolve throughout the film, culminating in a powerful climax during the water chase sequence.
