LAKESHORE RECORDS PRESENTS
DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS - ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK
Featuring Original Music by Tom Holkenborg (aka Junkie XL)
(November 22, 2016 – Los Angeles, CA) – Lakeshore Records will release the DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS - Original Soundtrack digitally on December 2 and on vinyl in early 2017. The album features the original music by Junkie XL (DEADPOOL, MAD MAX: FURY ROAD). DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS, the second feature in Red Bull Media House’s THE UNRIDEABLES franchise starring surfer Ian Walsh goes on sale across platforms December 2.
Distance Between Dreams captures the energy of one of the most historic surf seasons on record through Walsh’s eyes, pairing vivid cinematography, with an immersive custom score by Tom Holkenborg, aka Junkie XL. The Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum producer, musician, and composer uses a mix of modern aesthetic, and analog synthesizers to capture the essence of riding big waves with elegance and drama.
"Trying to tell Ian's story was a tremendous learning experience for me," said Holkenborg. "Surfing is a dangerous, solitary, and very noble pursuit, and I think the majority of people are unaware of just how athletic guys like Ian are. The work he has to put in and out of the water is tremendous. The ocean is a magical place, but it’s also dangerous. Capturing Ian's spirit and the dichotomy of his environment is what is at the heart of this score."
Early in the process Holkenborg was inspired by Walsh's dedication, the sacrifices that he has made, and his unwavering commitment in and out of the water. A 'full contact composer' who composes and produces using analog equipment, Holkenborg immediately connected with Walsh's physical drive to survive and thrive paddling into massive, 40+ foot waves. He wanted to give viewers the experience of being in the ocean with the select handful of surfers that ride the biggest waves in the world. In tandem with the film’s state-of-the art cinematography, the score, using a mix of modern aesthetic and analog synthesizers captures the drama and elegance of the big wave amphitheater.
Holkenborg's other recent projects include Mad Max: Fury Road, Deadpool, Black Mass, Kill Your Friends, and Batman v Superman with Hans Zimmer. Forthcoming projects include Justice League and Dark Tower.
Red Bull Media House presents DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS available through digital platforms on December 2. Lakeshore Records will release the DISTANCE BETWEEN DREAMS - Original Soundtrack digitally on December 2 and on vinyl in early 2017.

Please tell me what moments you like about "The Shore". It's the one weak spot for me on the album and I'd like to know how to reappraise it, maybe you can give me a fresh perspective?
I actually like the opening minutes, with those 'shimmering' electronic horn calls, and then the rough riff underneath -- like endless waves flooding onto sandy shores. I can often enjoy a good modulation or two (like Jean Michel Jarre's "Arpeggiator"), and this is all about that. Then it eventually gives way to this deep bass line about 5:30 in, which then gradually builds towards a more well-defined riff.
It's certainly not the best track on the album -- but I kinda like how it sits there, statically -- inbetween tracks that are more progressive and defined in nature.
I have a deep hope that this score (and JXL's upcoming BRIMSTONE, which sounds like straight-up classical music!) will change some people's minds regarding this composer. But I somehow doubt it. 
Thanks for offering those thoughts Thor, I went back and checked out those points you mentioned. While I do like the rough riff underneath that you mention and I do like the idea of a track standing still among others that are about movement, the higher-pitched electronic horn calls you mention are a bit too harsh to my ears and ultimately I can't fit it in with the rest of the flow of the album. I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion.
Curious about Brimstone. Very much wish that his score for Point Break would get a decent release aside from the end credits, and nothing from his score to Spectral was released although I heard it is properly badass. Sigh.
