New Blood

Peter Gabriel

A bold reimagining of Gabriel's catalog where synthesizers and drums are replaced by a full orchestra. Intense, cinematic, and deeply intimate.

It's Peter Gabriel's greatest songs but reimagined as a dark, sweeping film score.

A majestic and somber reimagining that trades rhythmic drive for cinematic emotional depth.

The instrumentation foregrounds violin far more than the catalogue usually does.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The terrifying orchestral crescendo in The Rhythm of the Heat that replaces the original African drums with frantic strings.
The delicate piano and cello interplay on Mercy Street that highlights the fragility of the vocal melody.
The explosive brass and woodwind tension during the climax of Signal to Noise.
