Great project! I’ve thought about doing this myself. Couple of questions…

Have you reinstated the score across the whole film?

Did you find a cue sheet online somewhere to get the timing as Alex would have planned it or did you just make educated guesses about where and when each cue would start?

All available originally recorded cues were edited back into to the film per their original spotting notes. ALEX NORTH’s 2001 is presented in a visual documentary format with text cards giving context to the each cue and the history of the score and why it was rejected. The whole of the film is not presented as North did not complete the project per Kubrick’s request. As a result the film ends at the moon shuttle bus landing just before the reveal of the monolith. Similarly, as the original film sources cues were applied multiple times, North’s score was extended in this presentation to include the reveal of the Star Child and End Credits.
