Chris Cox & Carl Rydlund - Music Inspired by the Motion Picture "Pieces of Us" by Buildup Music published on 2023-10-10T20:22:09Z A companion reimagining of the score from the award-winning LGBTQ+ documentary is now available digitally from Buildup Music. Music Inspired by the Motion Picture “Pieces of Us,” a new album from Chris Cox and Carl Rydlund that reimagines and expands upon their musical score of the award-winning documentary, is available now to stream and download from all major digital audio platforms. "Pieces of Us" is a documentary feature that focuses on the intimate and personal journeys of five gay, straight and transgender LGBTQ+ hate crime survivors. The film has garnered more than a dozen awards, including from the IndieFest Film Awards and Impact Docs Awards. Cox and Rydlund wrote and produced the score, which received the Award of Excellence for Original Score from the Accolade Global Film Competition. Their music comprises 25 different instrumental cues used to deepen the audience’s emotional connection to the survivors’ journeys, combining ambient textures with South Asian influences and evocative piano-led compositions. The project resonated with the duo long after the movie was completed, and they returned to the studio to reconfigure the original score elements and record additional material, resulting in six expansive new tracks that create a heightened, often meditative journey and stand on their own.
