Lakeshore Records is set to 
release The Copenhagen Test—Original Series Soundtrack digitally today, December 26, with an original score by Nathan Micay (Industry). Micay’s score expands on his distinctive genre-expanding electronic sound adding orchestral flourishes that enhance the tension of the dramatic series. All episodes of The Copenhagen Test produced by UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, will be available on Peacock December 27.
This espionage thriller series follows first-generation Chinese-American intelligence analyst Alexander Hale (Simu Liu) who realizes his brain has been hacked, giving the perpetrators access to everything he sees and hears. Caught between his shadowy agency and the unknown hackers, he must maintain a performance 24/7 to flush out who’s responsible and prove where his allegiance lies.
Note Micay: “Working on ‘The Copenhagen Test’ was a real blast. Coming from a more synth-oriented background, it was really exciting to be able to explore darker and more out-there tones and textures and find ways to mix them with a more traditional orchestral/action film score. The series has a never stopping pulse and I think that comes across especially in the music. It’s adrenaline. It’s dark. But when it needs to, it also has a lot of emotion. There is a careful blend of confidence, experience and naivety, similar to our characters.”
