The Spaceman Original Motion Picture Soundtrack accompanies the 2024 science fiction drama Spaceman, directed by Johan Renck and starring Adam Sandler, Carey Mulligan, and Paul Dano. The official score was composed by Max Richter, known for his atmospheric and emotionally rich work on films such as Ad Astra and series like The Leftovers. Richter’s music for Spaceman blends retro electronic textures, strings, piano, and ambient elements to reflect both the vastness of space and the personal emotional journey of the protagonist.
The soundtrack album was released digitally on March 1, 2024 by Decca Records and Netflix Music and features 17 original score tracks composed by Max Richter. Notable cues include In the Sleeping Chamber, Memory Is a Voyager, Your Loneliness, The Dark Backward and Abysm of Time, and Reflected in Her Eyes, as well as the collaborative piece Don’t Go Away performed with Sparks.
In addition to the original score, the film includes licensed classical and soundtrack pieces such as Mesicku na nebi hlubokém from Dvořák’s Rusalka and Labyrinth. II Part Kinetic Ballet by Václav Kučera, which help set specific moods in key scenes but are not part of the official score album.
