From: Chris Tilton and the Music of the Nightmare

The music of from is an integral part of the claustrophobic and disturbing experience of the series. Composed of Chris Tilton, an American composer known for Fringe, Almost Human and Alcatraz, the soundtrack builds a sound carpet that amplifies tension and horror.

Chris Tilton's Style

Tilton uses a mix of classical instruments and electronics. His style is dark, atmospheric, far removed from traditional orchestral crescendos. Each musical theme evolves with the story: Boyd's theme is heroic and melancholic, the city's is oppressive, and the monsters' theme uses dark, strident percussion.

The theme song: Que Sera, Evening of the Pixies

The theme song for From is a cover of Que Sera, Sera (Whatever Will Be, Will Be) — the famous 1956 song by Doris Day — reinterpreted by PixiesThe contrast between the seemingly cheerful melody and the fatalistic lyrics (“whatever will be, will be”) is perfect for a series where fate is already written, and not in a good way.

Where to listen to the soundtrack

Chris Tilton's original soundtrack hasn't yet been officially released as an album. Fans are hoping for a future release, perhaps after the series concludes with its fifth season.
