Barbie - Mark Ronson And Andrew Wyatt

Finally saw this film today, didn't notice very much score in the movie, but I did think it was strange that the music section in the credits mentioned 4 different scoring studios!!!

 

I can't imagine with how little score is actually in the movie that they really had 4 different sessions in 4 different locations, unless it combined song and score credits together under the score section; but even still why would they spread out recording like that?

The score album is 45 minutes long (and we don’t know if that’s even the complete score as recorded). Four sessions seems plausible, especially if they were spread out over time as various sections of the film were finished.

I personally can't understand how this is so mystifying, really. Many scores have multiple ensembles for different types of scene (orchestra, soloists, etc) and it sounds like the number of active recording studios in L.A. is shrinking. The idea of having to go across town a few times to different places, depending on where's available and what they need on that particular occasion, doesn't seem even remotely strange to me. And that's without considering any pick-ups if they decided later in the process that they needed an additional bit of score for something.
