We are excited to announce that the soundtrack for Jimmy In Saigon by composers John McDowell and Sabina Sciubba (pictured above) will be released in 2024. The score is a beautiful tapestry of music that emulates the timeline and settings of the film from 1960s psychedelic rock, and Vietnamese motifs to modern classical idioms. The soundtrack features Sabina Sciubba’s evocative vocals, McDowell’s keyboard work, as well as string arrangements with cellist Noah Hoffeld and many other top studio musicians.
The process of releasing a soundtrack involves several steps and expenses involving rearranging the tracks, adding additional instruments with live musicians, mixing, and mastering. The goal is to produce 30 tracks and we estimate that the work should be completed in 2024. We estimate that these costs will cost at least $5000.
We invite you to join us on this journey with an opportunity to purchase a pre-release of the soundtrack for $30. This will help fund the immediate costs of producing the soundtrack.
Here’s a sneak preview of one track from our soundtrack – our take on “Let The Sunshine In” originally from the musical Hair:
