Official Releases

In February 2016, Harry Gregson-Williams confirmed that he will be scoring Alien: Covenant. Gregson-Williams had previously collaborated with director Ridley Scott on Kingdom of Heaven (2005) and Prometheus (2012). However, in November 2016, Gregson-Williams revealed that he was no longer attached to the film.

Upon the release of the film’s first trailer, it was revealed that Australian musician and composer Jed Kurzel would take over composing duties. “When I first met Ridley, we talked a lot about these organic-sounding instruments being corrupted either by foreign sounds or from within themselves,” said Kurzel on his writing process. “Even within the more lush orchestral pieces there are elements suggesting a threatening presence, like breaths and pulses.”

The Alien: Covenant score makes extensive use of Jerry Goldsmith’s main title from the Alien soundtrack and also quotes the tracks “Life” and “We Were Right” from Gregson-Williams’ Prometheus score.
