Hauschka’s score for the 2018 Sky Atlantic series “Patrick Melrose” is a stark, unnerving electronic soundscape that perfectly captures the bleakness of Benedict Cumberbatch’s titular character. The composer’s signature prepared piano is here a warped, menacing presence.
- The album was released June 8, 2018, on the SATV/Patrick Melrose label.
- The series “Patrick Melrose” stars Benedict Cumberbatch as the titular character, based on the semi-autobiographical novels by Edward St Aubyn.
- Hauschka received an Oscar nomination in 2015 for his work on the score for “Lion” with Dustin O'Halloran.
Hauschka is the performance name of German composer and pianist Volker Bertelmann. He is known for his prepared piano technique, altering the instrument's sound by placing objects on or between its strings.
