Nathan Furst scores Need For Speed

Posted on March 14, 2014 by Dan Goldwasser



A few months ago, composer Nathan Furst recorded his score for the new Aaron Paul action film, Need For Speed. Directed by Scott Waugh (Act of Valor), the music for the film was recorded at the Sony Scoring Stage, with a 77-piece ensemble. The film opens on March 14, 2014, and ScoringSessions.com is thrilled to bring our readers the exclusive photos from the sessions!

Tim Davies conducted a 60-piece string ensemble of the Angel City Studio Orchestra at the Sony Scoring Stage.
