BEN SALISBURY, THE INSECTS & GEOFF BARROW - Devs (OST) - 3LP - Vinyl

The original score to Devs, by Ben Salisbury, The Insects and Geoff Barrow. Both physical formats include all 37 tracks from the stunning score! Ben Salisbury says, “As with all of Alex’s projects, we started working on ideas for the music after reading the scripts, and as well as being blown away by the material, we knew the music would need to reflect the strong religious thread that runs through story, and that we would need a number of developing themes that had a warped devotional vibe to them. But the music also needed to work with the thriller and tension side of things and the moments of outright horror, as well as sitting alongside the sheer beauty and scale of the amazing cinematography and set design. Crucially, the score also had to reflect and emphasise the human and emotional aspects of a story that is ultimately about grief and love.”

Ben Salisbury is an Emmy®-nominated and Ivor Novello award-winning composer with over 100 film and television composing credits including Ex Machina, Annihilation, Hanna, Luce, Free Fire and Beyoncé Knowles self-directed documentary feature Beyonce: Life Is But a Dream.
