Some exciting news from Erased Tapes… who have announced they will be releasing the soundtrack to forthcoming film Falling Into Place, a collaboration between Jon Hopkins and Ben Lukas Boysen, featuring performances by pianist Lisa Morgenstern and cellist Anne Müller.

He takes up the story: “The film in general, and therefore the score, deals a lot with reflecting on needs and the feeling of belonging. Each piece of the score is devoted to one of the many stations our protagonists visit on their journey and Some Kind Of Pattern represents an early and careful approach towards their feelings and who they want to be, for themselves and also for each other.”

Some Kind Of Pattern is the early taster of what the soundtrack will be like, a contemplative but assured piece of work whose descriptive powers are evident. It has a compelling stillness that bodes well for the album.

The score to Falling Into Place will be released on Erased Tapes on 28 March, in conjunction with Piano Day 2024.
