Confidenza (English: Trust) (Music for the Film by Daniele Luchetti) is the soundtrack for the 2024 Italian drama-thriller film Confidenza, composed by the English musician Thom Yorke and produced by Sam Petts-Davies. It is Yorke's second feature film score. It will be released on 26 April 2024 through XL Recordings.
The film's director, Daniele Luchetti, first worked with Yorke on a documentary about Carla Fracci, Codice Carla, which used music by Yorke's band Atoms for Peace.[1] Yorke agreed to compose for Confidenza after the script "evoked some musical threads". Luchetti described their process as finding "a way in sideways; building the music more through the subtext than through the narrative itself". Yorke and Luchetti "were constantly searching for something that sounded a bit off".[1] Luchetti said they worked to create tension while also revealing the feelings of the main characters as somewhat ridiculous.[2]
The score features the London Contemporary Orchestra and a jazz ensemble including the drummer Tom Skinner and the saxophonist Robert Stillman, both of whom have performed with Yorke's band the Smile.[3] It was produced by Sam Petts-Davies, who produced Yorke's 2018 soundtrack Suspiria and the 2024 Smile album Wall of Eyes.[4][5]
Yorke's involvement was announced in January 2024, ahead of the film's premiere at the International Film Festival Rotterdam.[6] Yorke's music was used in the main trailer.[7] In February, Yorke played the track "The Big City" during one of the Smile's "Artist in Residence" shows for BBC Radio 6 Music.[8]
The soundtrack was announced on 22 April 2024, alongside the singles "Knife Edge" and "Prize Giving". A video was released for "Knife Edge", featuring footage from the film arranged by the film's editor, Ael Dallier Vega.[9][10] The score will be released on streaming services on 26 April to coincide with the film's Italian release, with a retail release on 12 July.[11]
All tracks are written by Thom Yorke.
