Last weekend saw a lot of press for the new Netflix Cyber-Punk series, Altered Carbon. The new futuristic murder mystery show premiered on Netflix and commercials for it ran during the Super Bowl, including the show’s trailer. Now, Skydance Television and Lakeshore Records have released the Original Series Soundtrack for the show.
The Altered Carbon Original Soundtrack features 11 tracks from Fargo composer Jeff Russo. In addition to the original score, the album includes three songs including a cover of the Johnny Cash standard “Ain’t No Grave” performed by ALTERED CARBON star Renée Elise Goldsberry (Quellcrist Falconer) and Sune Rose Wagner’s performance of White Zombie’s “More Human Than Human”.
“We wanted to play the emotional undercurrent of the story so we decided not to be too on the nose as far as the sci-fi aspect. In ALTERED CARBON, human bodies are interchangeable. So in this story, the idea of playing the core of a person becomes very important. I wanted to make sure to create thematic motifs that could be used to keep track of who was who in the ever-changing landscape of the story.” – Jeff Russo, Composer
Lakeshore Records has released the ALTERED CARBON – Original Netflix Series Soundtrack digitally. You can pick it up on iTunes or streaming on Spotify.
