Playing now on Netflix is the awesome sci-fi series ALTERED CARBON. It’s really great TV for those who love the genre!
The show features terrific original music by Composer Jeff Russo (STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, FARGO). For those who collect film scores and soundtracks, it’s definitely one to add to your collection.
Lakeshore Records will release ALTERED CARBON – Original Netflix Series Soundtrack digitally February 9, 2018. In addition to the original score, the album includes three songs including a cover of the Johnny Cash standard “Ain’t No Grave” performed by ALTERED CARBON star Renée Elise Goldsberry (Quellcrist Falconer) and Sune Rose Wagner’s performance of White Zombie’s “More Human Than Human”.
When asked about how he crafted the score for this unique futuristic universe, composer Russo said, “We wanted to play the emotional undercurrent of the story so we decided not to be too on the nose as far as the sci-fi aspect. In ALTERED CARBON, human bodies are interchangeable. So in this story, the idea of playing the core of a person becomes very important. I wanted to make sure to create thematic motifs that could be used to keep track of who was who in the ever-changing landscape of the story.”

Russo won the Emmy and received two additional Emmy nominations for his thrilling and angst-producing score on FX’s Emmy and Golden Globe-winning series “Fargo.” Russo most recently completed the score for season one of CBS’s reimagining of the iconic cult-classic series “Star Trek: Discovery.” Russo also scored Starz’s “Counterpart,” starring J.K. Simmons, and “Power,” produced by Curtis Jackson “50 Cent,” as well FX’s hit series, “Legion,” based on Marvel Comic’s “X-Men,” starring Dan Ste-vens and Aubrey Plaza.
Additionally, Russo scored HBO’s Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated series “The Night Of,” starring John Turturro, FX’s John Singleton series, “Snowfall,” Netflix’s original show, “Altered Carbon,” and Annapurna Interactive’s indie video game, “What Remains of Edith Finch.” Russo also composed the music for Jon Avnet’s film “Three Christs,” starring Richard Gere, which premiered at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival, and Craig Macneill’s film, “Lizzie,” starring Chloe Sevigny and Kristen Stewart, which premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.
