From Milan Records:

Recorded in Glasgow with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra alongside a rock band and solo violin, the score fuses rich orchestral textures with pulsating synths and unconventional sounds, including bendy saw, whistles, and detuned violin, crafting a sonic world that is at once thrilling and unpredictable. Leonard-Morgan describes it as a collision of "orchestra, rock band, and cyberpunk electronics." The music draws listeners into the film's setting, carrying tension, momentum, and character-driven motifs throughout. A standout cue, "One Last Dance," mirrors Uma Thurman's Devora, turning each choreographed movement into part of the score, while themes for the central women evolve and reach a striking culmination.

Soundtrack Notes from Paul Leonard-Morgan

"When you get a call asking your take on a Ballerina Slasher movie, you reply with 'I see this as Orchestra meets Punk Band meets Cyberpunk electronica' and they welcome you with open arms, you know it's going to be a fun ride! Three years ago, I wrote my album of Etudes for Piano and Cello, little knowing it would lead to scoring this epic movie. Tired and needing to be refreshed, I took a month off to write my album. Then dancers from around the world started randomly choreographing it. Then I get a call asking me to score this movie, and 'had I ever worked with dance before?' It was literally a case of putting yourself out there in the universe, and things will happen!"

"Director Vicky Jewson and myself shared the same vision for this film. Girl power, punk attitude meets the beauty of ballet. These aren't your usual fight sequences. Blades on ballet shoes, pirouettes to escape the attacks, every beat carefully scored so that the fight sequences go from hard core EDM one moment to classical orchestra the next. Tchaikovsky on steroids! And then to finish up, I got to score an entire two-minute ballet sequence – it's a composer's dream job. We've included my remixes of Rhythm Is A Dancer that they used in the film as a special treat."
