Kelley and starring Nicole Kidman is streaming now.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nNine new strangers connected in ways they could never imagine are invited by mysterious guru Masha Dmitrichenko (Kidman) to join a transformational wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps. Over the course of a week, she takes them to the brink. Will they make it? Will she? Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself.<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nNotes Beltrami: \u201cThe goal of the score for season 2 was to keep a connection with some thematic elements from season 1, but yet also come up with new ideas for the new locale and characters. &nbsp;Jon wanted to invoke some of the classical roots of Europe, but in a light-hearted, contemporary way that didn\u2019t get melodramatic. &nbsp;The \u201cprepare for arrival\u201d and \u201cseason recap\u201d tracks on the album is the initial idea that came to mind, and were the first pieces we presented to him. As always, Miles and I and Buck Sanders had a great time collaborating on this unique and wonderful show; full of inspiration from the&nbsp;amazing&nbsp;Jonathan Levine!\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nAdds Hankins: \u201cWe had a lot of fun with season 2, getting to dive further into the mystery of Masha\u2019s backstory, and accompanying a terrific new ensemble with their own set of quirks, hidden traumas and ticking clocks.&nbsp;&nbsp;We introduced a vocal element to the score this season, and created a new set of themes and textures which descend into a kind of musical madness as we follow these intersecting journeys down the rabbit hole.&nbsp;&nbsp;We hope the audience will enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed creating!\u201d<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<u>Track List<\/u><br \/>\n01.
