Oliver Coates - Pillion (Original Soundtrack)
Tax included.
Oliver Coates composes the original score for Pillion, shaping a sound world that moves between hushed fragility and mounting intensity. Known for pushing the cello beyond its traditional role, Coates blends acoustic instrumentation with subtle electronics, building a score that feels tactile and immediate.
Throughout Pillion, motifs emerge and dissolve, shifting from sparse, close-miked passages to swelling, rhythmic undercurrents. Coates’ approach draws on his background in contemporary composition and experimental sound, using texture and repetition to mirror the film’s emotional arcs without overwhelming them.
The result is a score that feels both intimate and cinematic: strings that creak and shimmer, pulses that gather momentum, and moments of stillness that hold their breath before release. It’s a carefully judged soundtrack that enhances the film’s atmosphere while standing confidently on its own.
