Chilean composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer’s original music for the six-part series will be available on CD and to download from Monday 7 October.
Utopia aired on Channel 4 series earlier this year and starred Nathan Stewart-Jarrett (Misfits), Paul Higgins (In the Loop), Alexandra Roach (The Iron Lady) and Neil Maskell (Kill List).
Based in Canada, composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer moved to London for six months to complete “six months of guerilla composition” for Utopia. The score features instruments ranging from a rare Chilean trutruka recorded in Borough tube station to the percussion sounds of a rhino turd from Zimbabwe.

Channel 4 announced in March that Utopia will return for a second series next year, featuring “more cerebrally-taxing, visually stunning madness”.
