About the Composer(s)
Pierre-Henri Wicomb is an acclaimed South African composer, arranger, and sound designer based in Cape Town, celebrated for his versatile scores spanning theater, television, and film. Trained in both classical composition and electroacoustic music, Wicomb has carved out a unique style characterized by tense, minimal string arrangements and psychological, ambient sound design. For Jaco Bouwer's 2026 sci-fi psychological thriller *Orion*, Wicomb delivers a claustrophobic and atmospheric score. He utilizes distorted synthesizers, low-frequency drones, and sparse orchestral elements to emphasize the amnesiac confusion of the protagonist and the sterile, high-stakes environment of the NASA interrogation room.

About the Movie
Orion is an upcoming psychological sci-fi thriller film directed by Jaco Bouwer and written by Anne Vithayathil. The intense narrative centers on a veteran NASA interrogator (played by Andrew McCarthy) who is tasked with extracting memories from an amnesiac astronaut (played by Drew Van Acker). Having recently survived a crash landing back on Earth, the astronaut is the sole survivor of a deep-space mission, and the interrogator must piece together the truth behind the mysterious and violent deaths of the rest of the crew before the clock runs out. The film also stars Debby Ryan, Karin Ann (portraying Morgan), Theodora Miranne, and Natalia Lesz.
Supporting the film's tense, claustrophobic atmosphere and deep-space mystery is an original score composed by South African composer Pierre-Henri Wicomb. Known for his electroacoustic compositions and minimal string design, Wicomb crafts a moody, soundscape-driven score featuring low-frequency synthesizers and dissonant brass to evoke the protagonist's mental disorientation and the sterile tension of the interrogation chamber. This directory will be updated with the complete tracklist, trailer music, and licensed song details upon the film's theatrical release.
