Sparks & Shadows is set to release the soundtrack to the second season of the epic saga Foundation, based on Isaac Asimov’s timeless trilogy and featuring original music with themes by Emmy® and BAFTA award-winning composer Bear McCreary (Outlander, Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power), and a score by Sparks & Shadows—a stable of talented composers working within McCreary’s multi-faceted company. Foundation Series 2—Apple TV+ Original Series Soundtrack is available digitally and the series is streaming globally now on Apple TV+.
“Foundation” chronicles the stories of four crucial individuals transcending space and time as they overcome deadly crises, shifting loyalties and complicated relationships that will ultimately determine the fate of humanity. Says McCreary: “When scoring the first season of Foundation, my imagination was ignited by the opportunity to craft an emotional, thematically-driven orchestral score that featured pulsating, algorithmically generated computer performances hidden at the core. I was thrilled to return to Asimov’s stunning vision of the future for the second season of the show, with my dedicated and innovative team at Sparks & Shadows by my side. Together, we’ve strived to bring new melodies, new colors and deeper mathematical layers to this epic saga.” Track List 1. Brother Constant 2. Queen Sareth 3. Hari’s Genesis 4.
