Unleashing the Epic Main Theme: Ruby Gillman, the Teenage Kraken Takes the Stage [EXCLUSIVE]

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken introduces a fresh take on monsters in the DreamWorks universe. Departing from the traditional portrayal of krakens as devourers of ships, this film follows the adventures of Ruby Gillman and her family as they navigate the challenges of everyday life on land. It cleverly defies expectations and, in typical DreamWorks fashion, delivers a delightful combination of heart and humor that can be enjoyed by the whole family.

This film skillfully combines sweeping mythological concepts with the relatable experiences of being a teenager. The masterful composition by Grammy-winning composer Stephanie Economou contributes to its seamless execution. Economou's impressive body of work includes notable projects such as Jupiter's Legacy and Manhunt. Additionally, her collaboration with renowned composer Harry Gregson-Williams has resulted in beloved films like The Martian and the live-action Mulan. We are thrilled to present the main title theme that Economou composed specifically for Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken. Take a listen below:

Stephanie Economou perfectly captures the essence of Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken, with a main title that is both dramatic and contemporary. By incorporating modern instruments and a lofi musical aesthetic, "Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken" stands out from other film main title pieces while effectively complementing the film itself. Economou explains that the theme for Ruby Gillman needed to reflect her vibrant and unique personality, leading her to draw inspiration from dream pop/shoegaze influences in the score. The combination of atmospheric soundscapes, lofi effects, and a teenage tonality captures the essence of water and truly embodies Ruby's character. The title track showcases her theme using omnichord and rubber bridge/electric guitars played by Jon Monroe, vocals by Ari Mason, electroacoustic harp with pedal effects by Emily Hopkins, and vintage synths.
