Today, A24 Music releases Sing Sing (Original Score), by Bryce Dessner. The composer has reunited with director Greg Kwedar for the movie, having previously worked together on Transpecos and Jockey.
Sing Sing stars Colman Domingo, Clarence Maclin, Paul Raci, and Sean San José, and was co-written by Kwedar and Clint Bentley. The story follows a theater troupe who find escape from the realities of incarceration through the rush of putting on a play. This stirring, true tale of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of art stars an unforgettable ensemble cast of formerly incarcerated actors.
Dessner took a unique approach to scoring Sing Sing. It’s the Grammy-winning guitarist’s first set of orchestral compositions for a partnership with Kwedar. Dessner regularly writes for some of the world’s leading ensembles, including Orchestre de Paris and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. This time around, his ideas were brought to life by the celebrated London Contemporary Orchestra. The end result is dynamic and poignant, helping Sing Sing’s moving storyline soar to new heights.
Stream the original score for Sing Sing via A24 Music and see the film in select theaters now and nationwide on August 2.
