Lakeshore Records has released Rosario 
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack digitally featuring music by Brooke and Will Blair (Blue Ruin, I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore). The duo’s evocatively ominous score augments key aspects of the film in their choice of instruments that enhance the characters as well as reflects their deep knowledge of the film’s details such as the Palo Mayombe religion. Rosario is available on all major digital platforms including Amazon, iTunes, Direct TV, Fandango at Home, Google Play and You Tube.
Wall Street stockbroker, Rosario Fuentes, returns to her grandmother’s apartment after her sudden death. While sorting through her grandmother’s belongings, Rosario uncovers a horrifying secret—a hidden chamber filled with occult artifacts tied to dark generational rituals. As supernatural occurrences plague her, Rosario must confront her family’s buried secrets and face the truth about the sacrifices and choices they made.
Note the Blair brothers: “Before any compositional work began, we worked closely with Felipe Vargas (the director) to absorb as much as we could about Palo Mayombe — the Afro-Caribbean religion that many of the rituals and hauntings in the movie are based on. Practitioners of Palo often communicate with the dead through offerings made of deeply organic materials: sticks, stones, thorns, worms, and dirt. So, the first thing we did was build a foundation of percussion across most of the film with these elements in mind. Each offering, so to speak, had its own percussive tone and movement, ranging from soft and discreet to completely chaotic.”

THE BLAIR BROTHERS
Brothers Brooke and Will Blair are award-winning composers for film and television, renowned for their work across a variety of genres and mediums. They began their nearly 20-year career in composing with Jeremy Saulnier’s 2007 horror-comedy Murder Party, but it was Saulnier’s 2013 Cannes and Sundance favorite Blue Ruin that established the Blairs as rising talents in demand, known for their versatile scoring and expansive, story-specific approach to instrumentation. The brothers most recently scored Saulnier’s Netflix thriller Rebel Ridge, the culmination of over two years of exploratory composition.
For Rebel Ridge, the brothers drew inspiration from lead actor Aaron Pierre’s powerful yet restrained performance as former Marine Terry Richmond. The Blairs captured both Terry’s silence and his brutality with aggressive solo bass and cello, frenzied solo contrabass flute, and methodical yet explosive percussion. The film marks the fifth collaboration between the Blairs and Saulnier. Previously, the brothers scored Saulnier’s punk-thriller Green Room, starring Sir Patrick Stewart, which returned them to Cannes and Sundance in 2016. They also worked on Saulnier’s Netflix original Hold the Dark, which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2018.
Hold the Dark, an epic tale of survival and revenge, allowed the brothers to expand upon their signature hybrid synth textures with larger orchestral ensembles and heavy world percussion, even incorporating Inuit throat singing by sisters Karen and Kathy Kettler.
The Blairs have also distinguished themselves in episodic television scoring, with notable work on comedies such as Tim and Eric’s Bedtime Stories for Adult Swim and This Close for the Sundance Channel. Their television portfolio further expanded with their scoring of Netflix’s acclaimed true crime series Sins of Our Mother and Nightstalker, for which they earned a 2022 ASCAP Screen Music Award.
The brothers further defined their eclectic and evolving sound with their score for the Netflix original I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore, which premiered at Sundance in 2017 and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Dramatic Feature. This dark crime-comedy called for a moody, messy, and heavily improvised wall-of-sound score, featuring Jon Natchez of The War on Drugs on baritone saxophone. The Blairs have scored over 35 feature films and more than 10 multi-episode television shows to date. They are currently based in Philadelphia, PA.
