The Wachowskis are known for their striking use of music in their famous trilogy. The siblings made a brave choice of hiring composer Don Davis to craft a truly brave post-modern orchestral score when they started putting together the original 1999 film. The fusion of sound, music and image was absolutely impeccable in The Matrix – both original score and pre-existing tracks did wonders for this s-f actioner.

One of the most famous pieces of music used in the original 1999 film was Clubbed to Death. It was created in 1996 by Rob Dougan. It wasn’t all that famous to begin with but The Matrix made it popular, even though the film uses only a tiny snippet of it.  In any case, the musician was hired to create a cue for the Chateau fight sequence. It’s based on the very same motif that opened the Clubbed to Death “woman in red dress” scene, although arranged more conventionally for big brassy orchestra and electronics

This time, however, not all was lost. The Wachowskis hired Ben Watkins of Juno Reactor to spice up the mix and provide some electronica pieces. The musician was asked to use Davis’ existing piece and fuse it with his own analogue synthesisers. The two artists worked on the sequence together and created an exciting mainstream crossover of two musical worlds
