"As for the scoring – composer David Bateman masterfully infuses “The Rain” with a quiet intensity through the film’s mesmerizing soundtrack."
- Frederic Germay, Media BLVD MAgazine

"The Spirit of Isabel, is in the final stages of post-production, local composer David Bateman has created a memorable and moving score to fit the tone of the story" - Robert Joseph Butler (Director, Dark Heart, Retreat, and Spirit Of Isabel)

"The Master of Musical Darkness. That is the nickname being bestowed unto Rain composer David Bateman who has been working tirelessly these past few months to complete the ambitious score for our motion picture. And with each new music piece Dave’s score continues to get darker and more disturbing; and yes that’s a good thing. I’m not quite sure where he’s drawing his inspiration from and perhaps it’s better that way, but the score is nothing short of incredible. Cryptic choral voices mix with bone chilling string arrangements to enhance the film’s macabre imagery. After hearing this latest piece of music I’m half expecting goblins to crawl out of the speakers and steal my soul away."

-Douglas Schulze (Director, The Rain)
