The Beforetime Orchestra is the brainchild of Los Angeles-based arranger/composer Tim Weed (grandson of the film’s subject) and celebrated songwriter/composer duo Bryan and Sarah Vanderpool (The Well Pennies). Known for their unique orchestral arrangements and lush string textures, this project was born after the trio started experimenting with short instrumental pieces inspired by Tim’s family films. Their debut project serves as the soundtrack to a compelling new documentary film, which showcases never-before-seen 16mm color footage of famed explorer Admiral Richard E. Byrd. The Beforetime Orchestra paints vivid sonic landscapes that perfectly complement the never-before-seen historical footage.
