Original score from the 2025 documentary feature film directed by Alex Holmes, produced by Sylver Entertainment and Independent Entertainment, released by Sky (UK).

THE STORY: Featuring exclusive, intimate interviews with Damon and his family – tells how he overcame the adversity of losing his legendary father Graham Hill to follow in his footsteps and become a world champion himself.

THE SCORE: Fragmented Music approached scoring Damon Hill’s early story by focusing on the core of his journey – personal loss, the weight of expectation, and the relentless pursuit of success. We avoided the usual ‘big and bombastic’ approach. Rather than relying on full orchestra or oversized percussion, we built tension from within: the tick of a clock, the shift of a gear, the low idle of an engine. These mechanical, close-up textures allowed us to create energy and momentum without overwhelming the emotional heart of the story. For the more personal, introspective moments, we collaborated with Ale Marti to develop custom tension tones using a bowed GuitarViol. This unique instrument provided a wide emotional range – fragile, raw, and often uneasy – becoming central to expressing the quieter, more intimate side of Damon’s journey. Fragmented Music charted the emotional arc of Damon Hill’s early life – his setbacks, resilience, and final push toward the championship – with a score that stays honest, focused, and close to the road.

THE COMPOSER: Fragmented Music is a composer collective headed by Lorne Balfe with colleagues such as Taran Mitchell, Jamal Green, Jeremy Earnest and Will Prime contributing music to the team’s scoring projects. Hill is their first soundtrack album release under this new name. Lorne Balfe, of course, is one of the busiest A-list film composers at the moment, having scored such box office hits as two Mission: Impossible films, Top Gun: Maverick and Black Widow.
