Laurel Halo‘s score for “Possessed” will see an official release on April 10.

“Possessed,” released in 2018 and the work of artist collective Metahaven and Rob Schröder, produced by Dutch Mountain Film, was nominated for the IFFR Tiger award and the CPH:Dox New Vision Award. It was Halo’s first foray into writing music for screen, and London label The Vinyl Factory will now release it as a 13-track album. Note that the digital version has only 12 tracks, leaving off the reprise of “Last Seen.”

The soundtrack traverses both the synthetic and acoustic, providing a rich variety of sounds, from aqueous, subterranean drones, to plaintive folk pieces for violin and cello, and uncanny pseudoclassical piano mutations. Violinist Galya Bisengalieva and cellist Oliver Coates also contribute, and renowned engineer Paul Corley lends additional production.

Halo has released on labels including Hyperdub, Honest Jon’s, Latency, and Livity Sound.
