Mutant, in partnership with Back Lot Music and Focus Features, are proud to present the premiere physical release of Academy Award® winning composer Volker Bertelmann's score to Edgar Berger's Conclave.
Berger and Bertelmann's follow-up to their award winning collaboration, 2022’s All Quiet On The Western Front, Conclave follows the high-tension, behind-closed-doors events surrounding the catholic church's process for choosing a new Pope. Unique rituals, dark secrets, betrayals, and political manipulation - Conclave holds up a gilded mirror to the modern democratic process.
"Bertelmann is a master at knowing when to raise the temperature - and this score brings the tension to a boil." says Mutant co-founder Mo Shafeek "The main recurring melody is arresting and melodic. Strings shriek in swirling stereo, bouncing like the fragile allegiances between cardinals, adding intrigue to each plot twist and turn. It is a triumphant follow-up to his award-winning modern classic."
This limited edition vinyl release is pressed on 140 gram gold nugget vinyl and comes housed in a gold foil stamped jacket. It features package design by Mutant co-founder Mo Shafeek.
