One year ago today, Materialists arrived in cinemas.

Recorded at Angel Studios by The Chamber Orchestra of London , Daniel Pemberton’s masterful score moves effortlessly between delicate intimacy and mounting tension, creating a rich emotional soundscape that sets the film apart within the genre.

Speaking about the score, Director Celine Song asked Pemberton for something “dark and complicated”. The restrained use of music throughout the film allows moments of silence to resonate more deeply, making each orchestral swell all the more powerful.

We’re proud to have played a small part in this beautiful score.

“The album is a bit of a different direction sonically, in that we recorded way more live instruments on it than I ever have before, and I think this song (Slipping Away) especially has a proper band feel to it. So being able to record a live session at Abbey Road and show people what’s to come on the live side of things was so exciting.” L Devine .devine

Accompanying the release of her 2024 album ‘Digital Heartifacts’, rising singer-songwriter L Devine came into Angel Studios to film and record the 6 song live EP, the ‘Abbey Road Sessions’, as part of the Equalise programme.

You can watch all six of the exclusive live performances on L Devine’s Youtube channel.

“We recorded 24 incredible string musicians in a studio called Angel Studios in London, and they were phenomenal. It’s kind of like this living entity on the album, this orchestra. They kind of come in and come out, and they push and pull and there’s moments of levity, and then there’s moments of tension.” Tom Odell

The strings feature throughout Tom Odell’s sixth studio album ‘Black Friday’, adding a refined sense of depth and atmosphere. Recorded in a single day at Angel Studios in May 2023 and conducted by Vincent Ott, the violins, violas and cellos give the record a sense of scale that underpins the raw emotion and vulnerability in Tom’s songs.

Released on 26 January 2024, the title track, written on Tom’s 32nd birthday and a favourite with fans worldwide, was nominated for ‘Best Song Musically and Lyrically’ at the Ivor Novello Awards.

“Just a stunning day of beautiful live magic. We used very few close mics, but had a lot of ambient microphones placed around the room that captured something that we couldn’t explain. It was like the room warmed up just for that perfect take.

We couldn’t beat it. Alex’s gorgeous rhythm and Adrian bowing the guitar. Then the stunning vocals from Ellie, Nilufer and Dove. Anna and I just couldn’t stop smiling between the utter joy and raw emotion of the experience. I’m being overly sentimental again but I honestly wish I could just make records this way all the time.” Producer Catherine Marks

Hans Zimmer’s original score earned an Oscar, Golden Globe and two Grammy awards, while pop legend Elton John & lyricist Tim Rice created a string of classics including ‘Circle Of Life’, ‘Hakuna Matata’, and the Oscar-winning ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’.

Zimmer’s orchestral score and Lebo M’s powerful Zulu vocals bring a distinctive depth and authenticity, blending African rhythms with broadway-style melodies to create a sound that is both global and deeply personal. One that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
