Original score from the 2025 drama feature film directed by Gaby Dellal, starring Fiona Shaw, Katherine Waterston and Chaske Spencer, produced by Rimsky Productions and Washington Square Films.

THE STORY: Paralyzed with her life as a rancher, Charlotte runs away from her controlling husband and returns to her mother’s apartment, rediscovering her teenage love and the life she left behind. Now mother and daughter will face unshared truths.

THE SCORE: “The score for Park Avenue needed to be personal, eccentric and not be outside the scale of the story. We wanted Kit’s unique vision of life to be reflected in the music. The director, Gaby Dellal, was determined that the music should never seem sentimental or mawkish. A few months before the recording, I was on holiday  and I saw an outdoor gig featuring Lars Danielsson who was playing with a friend, John Parricelli. Listening to him play, I wanted to put his sound at the centre of the composition., and I constructed the music around this. I also built a lot of it around the interplay between the cello (Nick Cooper) and the bass. The ensemble that recorded this music is made up of a mixture of jazz and classical musicians.” – Stephen Warbeck
