Producer Chris Clark aka Clark has scored the six-part, crime/drama televison series The Last Panthers starring Samantha Morton, John Hurt and Tahar Rahim. One of the songs used, ‘Omni Vignette’, has now been posted for streaming.

Regarding his choice to hire Clark to score the show, The Last Panthers Director Johan Renck wrote:

“In scoring the series, it felt idiotic to not tap into one of the founding corners of Warp. Thus, we were enamoured by artist Chris Clark and the collaboration found its shape quickly. Chris’ sensibilities and brazen creativity was bang on for a score to deal with everything from the Biblical grandeur of the story, via brooding darkness all the way over to tender sentimentality. He had it covered.”

In a press statement Clark also added:

“It all started on a porch in Melbourne with a viola and a contact mic. I’ve never worked on anything like this before and it’s probably the most exciting/fun/at times panic inducing thing I’ve ever done.

The narrative of the show is vast, deep. It spans many different eras in the characters lives, so it needed to be coherent. The intention was to make the unfolding stories of the characters seem lucid and effortless.

Seeing the show get edited down to this concise, six part slab of dramatic excellence was inspiring, and definitely helped the music stay fresh. I’m honoured that The Last Panthers is the first foray into film I’ve had, it’s an immense project to be involved in.”
