The show Severance is an instant classic, and one of the reasons is Theodore Shapiro's amazing score. As a composer myself, I was instantly drawn to the haunting beauty of the piano, the descending chords, and the many variations on the theme that Theodore uses in the show. 

While the theme is absolutely perfect for the show as is, I thought it would be fun to see what it would sound like as an epic orchestral track with a huge choir. So what began as a fun little experiment turned into a remix. The fact that the music still sounds great with a different orchestration just goes to show how well written it is.

I hope you enjoy the moment of distraction during the long wait for Season 2 to arrive!

(You can find Severance on AppleTV+ and go listen to Theodore Shapiro's amazing soundtrack on streaming services!)
