Lost features an orchestral score performed by the Hollywood Studio Symphony Orchestra and composed by Michael Giacchino, incorporating many recurring themes for subjects such as events, locations and characters, something uncommon in television music. Giacchino achieved some of the sounds for the score using unusual instruments, such as striking suspended pieces of the plane’s fuselage.
On March 21, 2006, the record label Varèse Sarabande released the original television soundtrack for Lost’s first season.The soundtrack included select full-length versions of the most popular themes of the season and the main title, which was composed by series creator J.J. Abrams.Varèse Sarabandereleased a soundtrack featuring music from the second season of Lost on October 3, 2006.
A soundtrack for the third season was released on May 6, 2008, with the fourth season soundtrack released on May 11, 2009.
Pop culture songs have been used sparingly in the series, given the mainly orchestral score. When such songs are featured, they usually originate from a diegetic source. Examples are the various songs played on Hurley’s portable CD player throughout the first season (until its batteries died in the episode “…In Translation”),which featured Damien Rice’s “Delicate”, or the use of the record player in the second season, which included Cass Elliot’s “Make Your Own Kind of Music” and Petula Clark’s “Downtown” in the second and third season premieres respectively.
