The Dark Angel

Tomb Raider: The Dark Angel is a proposed studio version of the musical score for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness, Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation, and Tomb Raider Chronicles, originally created by Peter Connelly. The project was announced on 27 August 2018 and will be financed using a Kickstarter campaign.

The first Kickstarter campaign started on 1 October 2018 and ran until the end of the month, but was unsuccessful in raising the £180,000 Peter aimed for. If it had been successful, the project was to release a re-imagined version of the original soundtrack rearranged for orchestra alongside the remastered original versions.

A second campaign - subtitled "Reborn in Shadows" - was set up on 1 November 2018 with a financing goal of only £60,000 that will not include an orchestra but rather a version done by Peter himself using synthesizers; however, the campaign includes four stretch goals of up to £300,000. If he manages to raise the originally aimed for £180,000 this time around, the orchestra will be back!

People Involved

The original Kickstarter campaign was backed not only by fans of the music of Peter Connelly, but also by musical professionals. Note that participation of most of the people listed below is now due to reaching the corresponding stretch goal.

Project Leader, Composer
Co-composer of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness

Recording

If the Kickstarter campaign is successful in raising £180,000 (second stretch goal) the orchestral recording will take place at the Air Lyndhurst Studios in London.

Stretch Goals

Main Goal

The Main Goal of this Kickstarter campaign is £6,000. Reaching this goal will result in remade, rearranged and re-imagined music from Tomb Raider 4, 5 and AoD. The sole contributor will be Peter Connelly himself and recordings will be made using synths, samplers and libraries to imitate an orchestra. Additionally the original music from Tomb Raider 4, 5 and AoD will be remastered and included as separate CDs.

Stretch Goal 1

If the project manages to raise £90,000, Richard Niles will additionally be hired to arrange the music.

Stretch Goal 2

Raising £120,000 will additionally bring soloists Tina Guo and Julie Elven on board, as well as a choir. This will add live music elements to the mix.

Stretch Goal 3

If the campaign manages to raise £180,000 - the original target of the previous Kickstarter -, the complete Tomb Raider: The Dark Angel Symphony will be performed by a live orchestra (instead of using synthesisers) and recorded at the Air Lyndhurst Studios in London, UK. This is basically what the original Kickstarter intended to do.

Stretch Goal 4

Should the project manage to raise £300,000, there will also be one live performance of the entire symphony in front of an audience. The first 1500 top backers will receive free tickets for this show.
