Background.
On June 14, 2017, Tom Holkenborg was announced as the film's composer for "Tomb Raider". He was originally scoring Zack Snyder's "Justice League" but was replaced by Danny Elfman. Holkenborg commented that "It pains me to leave the project, but a big thanks to Zack for asking me to be part of his vision, and I wish Danny, Joss, and Warner Bros all the best with "Justice League"."
For the basis of the score, Holkenborg looked to the late Jóhann Jóhannsson's score to Sicario. But the majority of his inspiration came from the film score album, Birdy by Peter Gabriel which served as the foundation for the island scenes in the film. On creating the sound for "Tomb Raider", Holkenborg combined a bunch of different animal sounds to create a canvas for the score and then worked on top of that. He then employed an original approach with director Roar Uthaug, with an emphasis on raw sound design and music to portray the journey of Lara, one of which was through the use of strong percussion to give that sense of grittiness and realism.
Scoring took place over two days at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London, with the London Studio Orchestra conducted by John Ashton Thomas. Aljoscha Christenhuß and Antonio Di Iorio provided additional music.
