MIDNIGHT ZONE (ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK) - OUT MARCH 13, 2026

In 2024 the artist Julian Charrière asked if I would be interested to compose the score for his upcoming film Midnight Zone. The film follows the path of a Fresnel lighthouse lens as it descends deeper into the Clarion-Clipperton Fracture Zone, a remote abyssal plain in the Pacific, rich in rare metals and increasingly targeted for deep-sea mining.

We talked about what kind of music would accompany the emptiness and rhythms of the ocean - how to score a wordless film whose main characters are sea life, the lens, and light beams. I recorded most of the material on a TransAcoustic piano amplifying a Montage synthesizer, alongside viol da gamba, violin, and processed ocean foley.

Listen to single ‘Sunlight Zone’ now! Pre-order and listen 🔗 in bio! Stay tuned for release updates, as well as select live score performances later this year.

Thank you to everyone who has worked on this release, it truly means the world to collaborate on bringing new music to light 💙

Happy to announce that Midnight Zone (Original Soundtrack to the Film by Julian Charrière) is out 𓆝𓆟༝˚。⋆today⋆。˚༝𓆞𓆝 on Awe! It was a beautiful process working with Julian on realizing the sound of this absolutely incredible, powerful and meditative film!

I’m grateful for Julian’s trust to also put out the music as an album on Awe.

A true honor to have @laurelhalo’s composition navigating the pressure and eternal night of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone for the score in the film ‘Midnight Zone’. ⁠

Combined with stacks of violin and viol da gamba, the music possesses trace elements of a human hand in an otherwise sunken, alien landscape: submerged and very much alive. The score captures an "oceanic feeling" by filtering synthetic tones through physical instruments, blurring the line between circuitry and touch. ⁠

So excited for Laurel’s upcoming LP! The original soundtrack will be officially released on March 13. Catch one of her performances in the near future (more info at the link in bio):⁠
