Trust No One

I had previously worked with Luke on the ‘Hoop Schemes’ episode of Bad Sport (also for Netflix). For Trust No One, we talked early on in the process about the story and tried to establish what the tone of the soundtrack would be. It was a murky world and we knew the score wanted a certain level of darkness and grit, but it was also a wild ride, full of excitement and excess. The music had to be propulsive and driving, and sometimes downright fun. But then had to turn on it’s heel and take you down more sinister paths. It’s a stylish doc, expertly filmed by Tim Cragg.

It was the perfect excuse to fire up my modular synths and get busy with some analogue bleeping! I wrote quite a few of the tracks while the film was still being edited (by the excellent Otto Burnham), so lots of my music was quite bedded into the film by the time they locked the edit. Then it was a case of developing some of the themes and bringing out the different characters and really pushing the ups and downs of the story. I’m really happy with the score I wrote for Trust No One, and I am trying to encourage Netflix to do a soundtrack release, though I’m not sure that will be allowed / possible yet! In the meantime, I’ve included a few tracks here in case you want to hear them!

UPDATE: I heard that Trust No One was the no 1 watched film on Netflix across the world a few days after it’s release, so that’s pretty exciting!

UPDATE 2: Very pleased to report that the soundtrack to Trust No One is now out on Spotify and elsewehere!
