Hear the soundtrack to British filmmaker Carol Morley's spellbinding Typist Artist Pirate King by BAFTA nominated composer Carly Paradis. Carly scores BBC's Line of Duty and since 2022 plays live keyboards for Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The atmospheric score beautifully balances witty percussion and angelic voice for a road journey that Audrey Amiss, the typist, artist, pirate king herself, takes in the film, elegantly reflecting her expanded sense of reality and the uncanny delights of her abstract art. The music features the experimental vocal group Shards led by Kieran Brunt, percussion extraordinaire Joby Burgess and Anna Drysdale on other-worldly horn alongside prepared piano and a one-holed flute. Paying homage to the yellow electric car at the center of the film, it's pressed onto transparent yellow vinyl, with art design by Jane Pollard and Iain Forsyth (20,000 Days on Earth) and examples of Audrey's art on the label and sleeve.
