In honor of the upcoming release of “Finch” on Apple TV+ and the release of the film’s soundtrack via Lakeshore Records, we’re thrilled to give our readers an exclusive peek at the score for the sci-fi film from Oscar-winning composer, Gustavo Santaolalla. As you can hear in the title track, “Finch,” the score for the film is just as epic and beautiful as you’d expect from a feature helmed by Miguel Sapochnik and starring Tom Hanks about a man venturing out into the post-apocalypse with his trusty dog and his newly created robot companion.

“The possibility of composing and playing for such a wonderful film as ‘Finch’ was an immediate source of inspiration,” said Santaolalla. “The unusual combination of characters and the mix of suspense, action, humor and tenderness laid out a canvas full of possibilities – from big, powerful action scenes to intimate moments where the emotions of the story and characters take over. Working once again with David Campbell as an orchestrator allowed me to move seamlessly from large orchestra to chamber-sized pieces. In this particular moment we find ourselves living, the music for ‘Finch’ has become very special to me. Happy that finally I can share it with all of you.”
As mentioned, Stantaolalla is no stranger to composing incredible scores. He’s one of the rare composers to actually win back-to-back Oscars, thanks to his work in 2005’s “Brokeback Mountain” and 2006’s “Babel.” He’s also worked on the music for projects such as “The Book of Life,” “On the Road,” and “Wild Tales.”
If you want to hear the rest of the score for “Finch,” you can presave the album before it’s released tomorrow, timed with the release of the film on Apple TV+.
