The main theme is used sparingly during the first half of the score, which is actually somewhat subdued. The main theme is a six note piece for brass, and is first heard at 0:16 of the вЂњTokyo Ghoul Main Title,вЂќ a great opening cue which initially has a creepy-beautiful Christopher Young vibe with its use of light chimes and celesta tones, but which gradually becomes livelier through the addition of a strong percussion undercurrent. Obviously, having not seen the film, I canвЂ™t comment on how it works in context, or whether it hits the right emotional notes, but I will say this: from a purely musical perspective, it works like a charm. There are several recurring themes вЂ“ including one which gets an absolutely monumental statement, but IвЂ™ll get to that later вЂ“ and varying emotional content that ranges from quiet and contemplative to rousing and epic. Now, Kaneki must also eat human flesh to survive, and soon becomes drawn into вЂghoul societyвЂ™ while simultaneously trying to keep his identity hidden from his human companions.ДavisвЂ™s score is a large, fully orchestral work, recorded in Nashville (of all places!), and is occasionally augmented by a small amount of electronics to give it a contemporary bang for its buck. The protagonist of the film is a college student named Kaneki, who is transformed into a half-ghoul against his will after being attacked by one while out on a date. I donвЂ™t know much about the film, but online resources indicate that it is set in an alternate reality where ghouls вЂ“ individuals who can only survive by eating human flesh вЂ“ live among normal humans in secret, hiding their true nature to evade pursuit from the authorities.

The film is a Japanese-language dark fantasy action horror based on the manga series of the same name by Sui Ishida.

We may never know the reason itвЂ™s taken almost 14 years for him to return to the podium but, whatever the case may be, we should be thankful to director Kentaro Hagiwara for hiring him to score Tokyo Ghoul вЂ“ the score which, if the film music gods are just, will re-establish Davis back amongst the film music composing fraternity for the foreseeable future. For this to happen to a composer as brilliant and talented as Davis is, and as red hot as Davis was after The Matrix, is completely incomprehensible.

Between November 2003, when The Matrix Revolutions opened, and now, DavisвЂ™s film music career has comprised just four films (only one of which, The Marine, actually played in theaters), one TV movie, and one documentary TV series for the BBC called Space Odyssey. He was actively looking for films to score throughout the latter half of the 2000s and into the 2010s but, for some reason, no-one hired him.

I donвЂ™t know the full details of exactly what was happening, but my understanding is that this was in no way DavisвЂ™s choice. In the meantime, something utterly inexplicable happened: Davis stopped getting film work. Following the completion of the Matrix series, Davis stepped away from film music for what was expected to be a brief sabbatical, so that he could complete his long-desired passion project, the opera Rio de Sangre, but this took longer than expected excerpts from the opera were performed in Los Angeles with the Los Angeles Master Chorale in 2005, and more was performed at the New York City Opera in 2007, but it did not receive its full premiere until 2010. He followed that up with a string of excellent scores for genre pictures, notably Jurassic Park III and House on Haunted Hill, and then finished the Matrix trilogy with his scores for The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions. Having spent much of the 1990s working a dual career, both as a successful TV composer and as a first-rate orchestrator for many of HollywoodвЂ™s leading talents, he burst into the spotlight off the back of his score for the smash hit 1999 sci-fi movie The Matrix.

In 2003, Don Davis had the film music world at his feet.
