German composer Johann Sebastian Bach’s age-old musical form, toccata, appears to have formed the crux of the John Abraham-starrer, Attack, composed and scored by Shashwat Sachdev. Toccata is a virtuoso piece designed to exhibit a performer’s touch and technique. “We created a metal version, another hip-hop creation, a western piano version, as well as an epic iteration of it,” says Sachdev, adding that while it took a fair share of convincing, he managed to win director Lakshya Raj Anand’s trust. “I was keen to [revisit] the toccata, because I wanted to create an epic soundtrack for this film. The music is larger-than-life, yet entertaining. Toccata is extremely expressive. It is a melody that begins at one point, but transforms into something else. The protagonist in the film also has a similar arc; one in which he transforms into a super-soldier.”
That Sachdev has attempted to do something out of the ordinary is evident from the trailer. A distinctive score enhances both the action sequences as well as the romantic scenes. “Lakshya told me to do as I pleased. That is also how a good collaboration should be — artistes should have the freedom to introduce their own colour into the movie. I wanted the music to be conversational,” he says of the film that, apart from Abraham, also stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Rakul Preet Singh.
