Singles
- Don’t Go Away – Max Richter feat. Sparks: Richter collaborated with others on the score, including Sparks on the track ‘Don’t Go Away.’
Max Richter said, “The visual language of the film really informs your musical decisions”
While composing the song for Spaceman, he added, “The visual texture, the way the light is, and the haptics of the images really tell me a lot about how the music should feel.
“The score’s palette is 1970s-period electronics that have been treated with ’70s effects – recorded on tape as they would have been recorded back then.
And then we have acoustic instrumentation that is mostly strings, some piano, and the strings we’ve done in two layers: a very closely mic-ed, intimate sound and also big-picture strings”
