DJ Muggs - Divinity: Original Motion Picture Score '2023

Tracks list

Legendary hip hop pioneer DJ Muggs and frequent David Lynch collaborator Dean
Hurley join forces for the original score to the 2023 Sundance-premiering
feature film Divinity. Equal parts sonically punishing and ethereal, the
soundtrack delivers a unique punch that further intensifies the mind-bending,
acid-trip experience of the film. 

Divinity is a sci-fi dystopian odyssey produced by Steven Soderberg hand helmed
by visionary director Eddie Alcazar. Set in the distant future, scientist
Sterling Pierce dedicated his life to the quest for immortality, slowly making
progress developing a serum named Divinity. Jaxxon Pierce, his son, now controls
and profits from his father’s once benevolent dream. Society on their
barren planet has been entirely perverted by the supremacy and pervasiveness of
the drug. Two mysterious brothers arrive with a plan to abduct the mogul, and
with the help of a woman named Nikita, they set on a trajectory hurtling toward
true immortality. 

Amidst the film’s extraordinary tapestry of stark aesthetics and themes,
the score is a ten ton barbell of sonic weight. Crafted with 8-bit samplers,
Wavestation synths, extended choir and string techniques, the soundtrack manages
to swing wildly between the arenas of both music and sound design. Like all rich
soundtracks, listening to the score on its own reconjures the imagery of the
film in the screen of the listener’s mind, an aural experience that
manages to encapsulate and pulse a matched intensity of the film. 

Tracks like ‘The Brothers’ and ‘Reflective Dreams’
cascade Vangelis-esque tones, painting with broad strokes of cinematic grandeur
and ethereal wonder. ‘Main Titles’ and ‘Infinity
Techno’ conversely swing hard into relentless, punishing sonics; with
brutal, pulsing energy representative of the twisted, relentless pursuit of
immortality. A standout of the album is undoubtedly “Divinity 2 Infinity:
The Odyssey,” featuring cult hip-hop hero and lyrical-savant Kool Keith.
Written for the film’s end credits, the track is a satisfying throwback
to the 90’s original soundtrack cut bespoke tailored to the film’s
narrative themes. 

DJ Muggs and Dean Hurley’s synergy yields a soundtrack that takes
Divinity beyond the screen and into a multi-dimensional experience, inviting its
listener along uncharted aural terrain for an unforgettable odyssey in sound.
