In 2018, Adam Wingard directed ɢᴏᴅᴢɪʟʟᴀ ᴠꜱ ᴋᴏɴɢ. I met Adam working on music for ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ɴᴏᴛᴇ with Netflix. Before GVK was filmed, he asked me to write some music for his vision of Godzilla. There was a loose idea of what the film would be, but there was no script yet.

In my head, I heard sort of something between the original Godzilla composer Akira Ifukube and something akin to John Carpenter. I spent a few weeks composing and created about an hour of music.

Monsutā (Monster) is a condensed version of what I wrote as a concept before the film was made. This work is not part of the film and, until now, has never been heard.
