The original score to the 1991 science-fiction action film, Terminator 2: Judgment Day is composed by Brad Fiedel. The film, directed by James Cameron is a sequel to the 1984 film The Terminator, and the second instalment in the Terminator franchise. Fiedel who scored for the first film using synthesizers and electronic instruments, had produced the score for Terminator 2, in an "acoustic and organic manner". According to Fiedel, he created the score in such a way, to bring a "warmer tone" on depicting the relationship with young John Connor and the Terminator. The recording and production process involved two Fairlight CMI machines and synthesisers, with an ensemble orchestra assisting the electronic sounds.
