ALEX SOMERS – Audrey – Original Soundtrack [Repress] – 2LP – Transparent Red Vinyl

2LP – Limited Edition Transparent Red Vinyl Repress housed in a Gatefold Sleeve.

Originally released on white vinyl for Record Store Day 2021, this much sought after soundtrack is now available on a limited run of Transparent Red Vinyl.

This original soundtrack to the documentary about Audrey Hepburn, recently streaming on Amazon Prime, is scored byAlex Somers, composer, producer and frequent collaborator withSigur Ros.

Alex Somers was a perfect choice of composer for Audrey. He created a poignant sound world and immersed within it the visual portrait of a conflicted and complex human being. Audreys strengths and vulnerabilities together with her insecurities, challenges and love of life and humanity, make her a presence still felt worldwide today.

Audrey Hepburn was such a special person Says Alex Somers. It was my goal to tap into what made her such a one-of-a-kind soul and create a melodic and sonic accompaniment for her. Collaborating with Helena was a beautiful and rewarding experience. The music poured out and together we experimented and pushed deeper to tell Audreys story; there is music here that is dark and there is music here that is light and uplifting, but the common thread is that it is honest and true to the spark that was Audrey.
