The New Real (Original Soundtrack) is finally out!
The soundtrack is now available to stream on Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, iTunes and other streaming platforms.
Dive into the sound world I created for David Edgar’s epic political play The New Real, directed by Holly Race Roughan for the Royal Shakespeare Company
@thersc in association with Headlong
@headlongtheatre Premiering at The Other Place in Stratford-upon-Avon, the production explored a world reshaped by epoch-defining elections on both sides of the Atlantic.
Blending electronic textures with atmospheric sound design, the soundtrack reflects the play’s shifting political landscapes, human tensions, and emotional undercurrents. Originally created to accompany the drama on stage, these compositions also stand alone as an immersive journey through uncertainty, change, underlying tensions, and the complexities of our contemporary world.
I hope you can experience these pieces as a journey in their own right.
Listen now via the link in my bio.
And don’t miss the two extra tracks I was commissioned to create for the play, both available on my SoundCloud:
🎶 Sunshine’s Call — the Eurovision entry song, composed to David Edgar’s lyrics.
🎶 Angel of the Nation — the national anthem of Straninka, the fictional Eastern European country where the events of the play take place.
