Netflix and Fifth Season invite fans 
to step inside the world of East of Eden, the highly anticipated limited series from co-showrunners Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart, starring Florence Pugh, Christopher Abbott and Mike Faist. Launching at 12:00 a.m. globally, the official score soundtrack composed by Academy Award-nominated, five-time Emmy award winning composer Laura Karpman will be available on all music streaming platforms via Lakeshore Records.
Composer Laura Karpman built the score for East of Eden around three original themes: a sweeping orchestral Home/Brothers waltz for the story’s paired generations of siblings, an unresolved four-note motif for Cathy Ames that shifts restlessly between piano and voice, and a slow-burning, hybrid electro-acoustic “Snake in the Grass” theme that mirrors the creeping nature of evil.
Karpman shares her inspiration for the music in the series, noting “There’s no fast music in East of Eden. It’s all music that grows and contracts and breathes, and lives with these magnificent characters that Steinbeck created, as though they exist as the very heartbeat of the American soul.”
