Brand new OST '2000 Meters to Andriivka' by Grammy Award-winning composer, sound designer, and score composer Sam Slater.
Featuring an 8-page photography booklet, field recordings of the Ukrainian Frontlines, and a liner-note essay about the record and its context.
The documentary film, from Oscar winning filmmaker and Pulitzer Prize-winning AP journalist Mstyslav Chernov, integrates frontline documentary footage from Ukraine with immersive spatial sound design. Quiet yet powerfully affecting, the piece foregrounds listening as a means of bearing witness; an approach emblematic of Slater’s interest in the consonance of sound and story.
Slater says of the music, “The score for Mstylsav Chernov's new documentary 2000 METERS TO ANDRIIVKA demanded an energy-driven score — blunt, visceral, and aligned with its predominantly first-person perspective. Built around a dry funereal drum feeding back into itself, the score is volatile and relentless. Jakob Vasak’s snarling Kobophon and Kai Whitson’s spectral walkie-talkie textures hover anxiously above it. Voices and strings emerge warped and restless until the closing Mysteria ritual, where Hildur Guðnadóttir, Simon Goff, and Maria W Horn briefly resolve into mournful harmony, grounding us in grief as fallen soldiers’ names are summoned into the air.”
Sam Slater is a composer and producer working at the intersection of experimental music, sound design, and contemporary storytelling. A two-time Grammy Award winner, his work has shaped critically acclaimed projects including Joker, Chernobyl, and Battlefield 2042. He has also received the SCL Award for Battlefield 2042, the Icelandic Music Award for Producer of the Year, and the Filmfare Award for Best Original Soundtrack for Netflix’s The Railway Men. Across forms and media, Slater treats sound not merely as accompaniment but as a structural and emotional anchor, constantly probing its potential to reshape attention, space, and narrative.
