- The 20-track score is out on Lakeshore Records on July 19th.
Photek's soundtrack for the Daniel Gabriel-directed documentary Mosul is out on Lakeshore Records tomorrow.
Gabriel's documentary traces the uneasy alliance between Sunni tribesmen, Shiite militias, Christian fighters, and Kurdish Peshmerga as they try to oust ISIS from the city of Mosul in 2016 and 2017. Photek, who has been scoring for film, TV and video games for over 20 years, composed the soundtrack to Mosul, which was released in April.
"When it came to compiling the soundtrack album, I realized the music was woven so tightly to the dialogue and background sound that it in many cases the music felt incomplete when listened to separately," the "intelligent" drum & bass pioneer says in the press release. "As a result, I opted to include voices and atmosphere into the album tracks. I think this also enhances the listening experience, maintaining the original context taking the listener back to the film experience. I'm very proud of the music I created for this film and I think that fans of early Photek material will hear some of that original mood and texture coming through in this score."
Listen to "Heading To Work" off Photek's Mosul soundtrack.
