Sony Music proudly announces the release of ADRIFT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) with original music by Oscar® nominee HAUSCHKA.Starring Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin and directed by Baltasar Kormákur, ADRIFT is based on the inspiring true story of two free spirits whose chance encounter leads them first to love, and then to the adventure of a lifetime.As the two sailors set out on a journey across the ocean, Tami Oldham (Woodley) and Richard Sharp (Claflin) couldn’t anticipate they would be sailing directly into one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in recorded history. In the aftermath of the storm, Tami awakens to find Richard badly injured and their boat in ruins. With no hope for rescue, Tami must find the strength and determination to save herself and the only man she has ever loved.  ADRIFT is the unforgettable story about the resilience of the human spirit and the transcendent power of love.Written by Aaron Kandell & Jordan Kandell and David Branson Smith, and based on the book by Tami Oldham Ashcraft with Susea McGearhart. Produced by Baltasar Kormákur, Aaron Kandell, Jordan Kandell, and Shailene Woodley. An RVK Studios Production presented by STXfilms, Lakeshore Entertainment, Huayi Brothers Pictures and Ingenious.Hauschka says about the soundtrack: "Collaborating with Balthasar Kormákur was a wonderful experience and he gave me a lot of freedom to find the right sound for the film. Adrift tells a story about love and the fragility of human existence, so I wanted to create some sort of instrumental tension to reflect both the darkness and peril, as well as the lightness and love in this film. We ended up recording a full string orchestra at British Grove in London and added piano and experimental electronics to create a diverse and dynamic score. I'm very happy with the result and I feel fortunate to have been part of this powerful film."ABOUT HAUSCHKA:Hauschka is the artistic moniker of German pianist and composer Volker Bertelmann, who is widely acclaimed for his experimentations with the prepared piano. Bertelmann’s debut as Hauschka came in 2004 with the release of his Substantial album. His relentless work ethic has since spawned over a dozen full-length records and almost as many film scores.A frequent collaborator, Hauschka paired up with renowned American violinist, Hilary Hahn, on an improvised album in 2012, Silfra, which was released by Deutsche Grammophon. In 2016, he collaborated with Dustin O’Halloran on the score for Garth Davis’ Lion, which was nominated for an Oscar®, a Golden Globe® and a BAFTA for Best Original Score.His recent soundtrack work, in addition to Lion, includes the films In Dubious Battle (2016), Exodus (2016) and TV mini-series Patrick Melrose (2018) starring Benedict Cumberbatch.  Beyond his work as a recording artist, Hauschka is also prominent in the world of theatre and took up an artistic residency at the MDR Leipzig Radio Symphony Orchestra, where he partnered up on an orchestral piece with experimental pop band Múm.The track list of ADRIFT (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is as follows:OpeningDestination UnknownTami Meets RichardEerie KnockDinner SunburntMakeshift MastBroken RibsSo Far NorthHang Left Sail to HawaiiLetter MontageSunset Monet10 Days AdriftBeer Cigars GuitarFreighter Bow WaveWill You Marry Me?Cross the HorizonSalvationThe StormI Hope That I Don't Fall in Love with You - performed by Emilíana Torrini
