It’s an excerpt from the UK artist’s debut ballet score, recorded with the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra
Floating Points has shared a new song, ‘Falling To Earth’, which he recorded with the help of the San Francisco Ballet Orchestra.
Combining elements of orchestral music with the modular synthesis that the UK artist has long built his sound around, the new cut is an excerpt from Floating Points’ debut ballet score for Mere Mortals. He was originally commissioned to produce the soundtrack by San Francisco Ballet Artistic Director Tamara Rojo, with his work and the ballet itself premiering in January 2024 at San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House.
Floating Points is currently involved in further San Francisco performances of Mere Mortals. Another run of dates for the show will follow at the Edinburgh Festival in August and London’s Sadler’s Wells in September.
His full score for the ballet will be released sometime in the future, with a date yet to be announced.
Listen to ‘Falling To Earth’ below.
‘Falling To Earth’ is out now on Deutsche Grammophon.
