"Before We Die" is a gripping and atmospheric original television soundtrack composed by the talented Jeroen Swinnen. Released on July 16, 2021, under Silva Screen Records Ltd., this dark symphonic score accompanies the Channel 4 series of the same name. Spanning 53 minutes, the album features 21 tracks that masterfully blend orchestral and electronic elements, creating a hauntingly beautiful soundscape that perfectly complements the show's intense narrative.
Swinnen's compositional prowess shines through in tracks like "Krajina," "Requiem for a Lover," and "The Mimica Family," each piece weaving a tapestry of suspense, drama, and intrigue.
