THE BLOCK ISLAND SOUND

Press:

“A foreboding score, seething with Force majeure, from Paul Koch gels seamlessly with Andrey Radovski’s discombobulating sound mix to fuse an audioscape of brooding menace.” - Bradley Hadcroft, The People’s Movies

“Paul Koch’s score is incredible, it’s heart-pounding and raises the hairs on your arms every time it thunders in.” - Connor Ashdown-Ford, MovieFestUK

“The music by Paul Koch and sound design needs a special mention, without it, the film would have been impactless” - Rohit Kumar Tanti, Film Reviews Loop

“This is the strong suit of the film, which does a pretty good job of lingering this mysterious force as bait in front of the audience. This element is propped up by Paul Koch’s well-designed score which amps up the lingering tension and dread.” - Will Oliver, We All Want Someone To Shout For

“[Paul] Koch’s bludgeoning, ominous score further seals the characters in, an otherworldly foghorn that warns of hazards ahead while advising against any foolish attempt at brinkmanship with the unknown.” - Isaac Feldberg, Rue Morgue

“There’s a persistent sense of unease, which is then heightened to another degree of terror with a sinister, tumultuous score by [Paul] Koch.” - Dimitri Kraus, Movie Marker

"The score and sound design are also top notch, with much of the tension involved being ratcheted up by the auditory experience.” - Matthew, Awesome Friday

“A lot of the unsettling and eerie nature comes from its music score and sound effects and background sounds blended with the scene.” - Kim, Tranquil Dreams

“Well, THAT was unsettling...I'm not going to sleep any time soon. I mean, the sounds and score alone, come on...” - Marianna Neal, Impression Blend

"Paul Koch’s atmospheric score is filled with a mounting sense of dread that doesn’t let up until the climax.” - Craig Ian Mann, ourculture

“You would hope in a film which begins this way that the soundscape elements would be well-developed and that is the case; from the mysterious ‘noise’ itself to the Paul Koch score, the film sounds fantastic, incredibly eerie and ominous.” - Keri O’Shea, Warped Perspective

“Composer Paul Koch develops a creepy score that sets the disconcerting ambience right from the start” - Simon Rotherk, Infamous Horrors

“The scares in The Block Island Sound are heightened by a spine-tingling collaboration between Paul Koch, whose music for the film coupled with sound design and editing by Shawn Duffy and Andrey Randovski create the unsettling sound of The Block Island Sound, which will have you gripping your seat, gritting your teeth, and fearing the worst.” - Michael Guillen, The Evening Class

“The audio and score seamlessly combine, mixing together to produce an almighty current of sound, which gives the impression of distorting and warping the world. When combined with some breathtaking visuals, it is simply sensational. Paul Koch’s composition channels both Looper and Blade Runner 2049 but, much like the movie itself, it is its own unique creation…Go into The Block Island Sound blind and let the full breadth of the experience (including epic sound design and score) wash over you.” - Kat Hughes, The Hollywood News

“Paul Koch's music hammers home the danger but with a synth-y bass drone that makes the danger seem all-encompassing, rather than coming from some specific direction.” - Jay Seaver, Hollywood Bitchslap
