Andor: Volume 1 (Episodes 1-4)(Original Score) digital soundtrack is now available. The music is written by Oscar®-Nominated and Emmy®-Winning Composer Nicholas Britell. Andor: Volume 2 (Original Score) will be available on November 4 as a digital album. Andor: Volume 3 (Original Score) will be available on December 2.
Andor tells the story of how Cassian Andor came to be a part of the Rebellion against the Empire. It also shows how the Rebellion comes together and how different planets and people became a part of it. Andor: Volume 1 has 34 tracks and is around 50 minutes long.
Britell says, “I feel incredibly grateful to Tony Gilroy and Lucasfilm for giving me this opportunity and entrusting me with creating the score for “Andor.” Working with Tony on this epic series has been profoundly inspiring. Having grown up as a huge fan of the Star Wars galaxy, it’s been a thrilling and actually quite emotional experience to become a part of this universe. I’ve tried to create a musical landscape that feels authentic and integral to the story. Tony and I explored every nuance – from crafting the on-camera music, to creating the ever-evolving score, to imagining each episode’s unique variations on the theme. I am truly excited to be releasing this Volume 1 of the original music to “Andor,” representing the soundtrack from Episodes 1 thru 4. More to come!”
Tony Gilroy, who created the series and is also the showrunner had this to say on the score. “How lucky am I? I had Nicholas Britell score my show. The best part? We needed seven hours of music and Nick lives in my neighborhood, so for the past two years, I’ve been biking to the studio and pretending to work when what I’ve really been doing is recharging my soul. Does it lessen the achievement if I say how much fun we had doing it? Or how humbled we were by the enormity? Or how much we learned? I hope not, cause we’re gonna have to try it all over again next year.”
Nicholas Britell has scored some pretty incredible soundtracks in recent history. This includes Don’t Look up, The King, If Beal Street Could Talk, Vice, Moonlight, The Big Short, and also the upcoming She Said. For television screens, Britell has written the score for Barry Jenkins’ The Underground Railroad along with scores for Succession. He won an Emmy for Outstanding Original Main Title Theme for this series. He is currently working on scoring the fourth season of Succession.
