Dragon’s Domain Records presents the world premiere release of the soundtrack for DESPERATE VOYAGE, featuring music composed by Bruce Broughton (SILVERADO, TOMBSTONE, THE ORVILLE ) for the 1980 television movie directed by Michael O’Herlihy, written by Alvin Sapinsley, based on the book by Ray Kytle, starring Christopher Plummer, Jonathan Banks, Cliff Potts, Christine Belford, Lara Parker, Nicholas Pryor and Michael Swan.

DESPERATE VOYAGE is a survival thriller set on the high seas and was filmed entirely on the water, without any studio sets. The film begins as Captain Burrifous (Plummer) and his demented son, Louis (Banks), find a boat that has stalled on the open sea. They discover a sick man on board who is hopeful for rescue only to discover that they intend to plunder his boat, leaving him to his death after they scuttle his boat with their much larger sailing sloop and leave him to the murky depths... The next target of Burrifous’ criminality are two couples, Cliff and Karen and their friends, Grace and Ralph (both suffering from severe sea sickness). Grace and Ralph accept the comfort of a passing sloop to ferry them to the nearest land. Unfortunately, the sloop belongs to Burrifous and his son... Will Cliff and Karen suffer the same fate?

The music for DESPERATE VOYAGE was composed by Bruce Broughton early in his career and was one of the first scores recorded after the American Federation of Musicians strike in 1980, which gave Broughton the opportunity to put together an enthusiastic orchestra that was eager to get back to work and perform. The music was recorded at Evergreen Studios with engineer Armin Steiner.

Bruce Broughton, who has won ten Emmy Awards and been nominated for an Oscar, began his journey into film music in 1973, scoring episodes of television shows from GUNSMOKE, HAWAII FIVE-0, and DALLAS to JAG and THE ORVILLE, miniseries like THE BLUE AND THE GREY and THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA, and feature films such as SILVERADO, YOUNG SHERLOCK HOLMES, HARRY AND THE HENDERSONS, TOMBSTONE, and HONEY, I BLEW UP THE KID. Broughton has more than 130 scores to his credit.

Dragon’s Domain Records presents DESPERATE VOYAGE, featuring music composed and conducted by Bruce Broughton. The music has been mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and the liner notes have been written by author Randall Larson, with the participation of the composer.
