White Boy Rick OST

StudioRichter / Deutsche Grammophon

Award winning British-German composer Max Richter once again showcases why he is the best in the game with his soundtrack to the upcoming Yann Demange-directed and Oscar-tipped film,

White Boy Rick. The intense yet expansive soundtrack draws on a heady concoction of drone, classical, industrial, ambience and electronica influences to create a dark, brooding atmosphere that brings the senses of the murky underworld of the 1980’s Detroit drug scene closer to life. Richter’s ability to merge traditional and orchestral instruments together with machines to create something so organic and cohesive is unrivalled. A bristling bottom end induces immediate feelings of tension, fear, stress and unease whereas there are lighter moments where piano motifs and drifting melodies allow beauty and peacefulness to flood in. Throughout, gradual evolutions in the mood slowly approach until those very sensations crawl beneath your skin. This utterly compelling soundtrack is another masterclass from one of film’s most highly-rated composers.
