Sony Classical announces the release of the original motion picture soundtrack of The Maze Runner, by composer John Paesano, available today, September 16. Directed by Wes Ball, the film is based on James Dashner's New York Times best selling young-adult novel.
The Maze Runner stars Dylan O'Brien in the role of Thomas, who wakes up trapped in a massive maze with a group of other boys with no memory of the outside world other than strange dreams about a mysterious organization known as W.C.K.D. Only by piecing together fragments of his past with clues he discovers in the maze can Thomas hope to uncover his true purpose and a way to escape. American film composer John Paesano studied classical music with professor Sally Dow Miller of Conservatoire de Paris, and continued his studies at Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he focused on composition. On his path to scoring films on his own, he served minor roles amongst some of the industry's most prestigious composers, including Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams, and Hans Zimmer's Remote Control Productions. In 2012 Paesano received an Annie Award for Best Music for his work on DreamWorks' animated series Dragons: Riders Of Berk, which is based on the Academy Award® winning film How To Train Your Dragon. In addition to his work on TheMaze Runner, Paesano recently scored Sony's sports drama When theGame Stands Tall.Sony Music Masterworks comprises Masterworks, Sony Classical, OKeh, Portrait, Masterworks Broadway and Flying Buddha imprints.
