Milan Records today releases AFTER YANG (ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK) with an original score by ASKA MATSUMIYA and contribution from RYUICHI SAKAMOTO. Available everywhere now, the album features score music written by Matsumiya for the A24’s newest science fiction drama about a human family and their android child. Inspired by the film’s futuristic setting and subject matter, Matsumiya utilized A.I. technology throughout her scoring process, feeding both her own compositions and Sakamoto’s contribution into a special A.I.-driven software developed by Luke Fischbeck (of Lucky Dragons) that generated infinite musical variations. Several of the A.I.-generated variations were incorporated into the final score, with three specific tracks composed primarily by the technology. Forward-thinking in composition, the score remains grounded in poignant and delicate instrumentation to create a body of music befitting the film’s onscreen narrative and themes. Directed by Kogonada and starring Colin Farrell and Jodie Turner-Smith, After Yang is available now in theaters and streaming on Showtime.

But it's not a sickly child, much-loved grandparent or even a beloved pet that shuffles off their mortal coil – it's the death of a 'technosapien' robot helper named Yang. After his passing, the family who owned him slowly start to appreciate n...

  • 'After Yang' is ultimately encapsulated by Aska Matsumiya's wonderful score / The Film Magazine
    Posted At: September 4, 2022 12:00 AM
    The Film Magazine's Mark Carnochan writes…..After Yang is set at an undisclosed time in the future. Kogonada creates a beautiful and unique vision of what this future would look like, with an almost postmodern feel to it. However, importantly, we rarely get to see this vision, the director instead choosing to focus on the human side of the story. What we do see looks beautiful and incredibly interesting, bu...

The composer was on the phone with director Julia Hart discussing the possibility of her scoring "I'm Your Woman" when a melody just popped into her head. "I heard a melody and I actually paused to record a voice memo of the melody while I was speaking to Julia because I just felt so synchronize...
