About the Utopia OST by Peter, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…As you all know, arguably the most important British TV series has just started its second run and we have once again been introduced to Cristobal’s on-the-money sounds.

Utopia, critique d’album par Noémie, France Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Cristobal Tapia de Veer a réussi un double exploit : celui d’avoir une bande-son allant parfaitement avec sa série mais aussi, et surtout, d’avoir créé une musique qui possède sa propre identité.

In Conversation With Cristobal Tapia de Veer, interview by Christian Murphy, Hyponik, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Centered around a conspiracy theory to sterilise the majority of the planet, the show was a triumph of clever casting, black humour, ultraviolence, spectacular cinematography, relentless pacing and an endlessly bizarre score. Save for the omnipresent hue of yellow in nearly every shot, the latter feature was perhaps Utopia’s calling card – something for which […] read more
Utopia, une série pas comme les autres par Dominique Montay, France Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…La musique. Oeuvre de Cristobal Tapia de Veer, musicien de Dance canadien, qui nous pond une musique sortie de merdes séchées et d’os, pour un résultat là encore hypnotisant. Trois composantes qui offrent un tout d’une cohérence artistique remarquable. Une claque visuelle. Tout simplement une belle série…” Read the article here read more
The Crimson Petal and the White by David Butcher, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Everything contributes to the claustrophobic atmosphere: the dreamlike, shallow-focus photography; the strange, breathy music (take a bow, Cristobal Tapia de Veer); and tiny details like the hissing of the gaslights on the landing of William’s house…” Read the article here read more
Utopia (Diciottesima Puntata), Alessandro Giordano, Italia Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Utopia coniuga il fascino per la cospirazione governativa, uno degli elementi base del buzz Internettiano, alla cultura nerd addicted, mai di moda come di questi tempi, filtrando il tutto attraverso una messa in scena di altissimo livello, dove la grande cura nelle ambientazioni e nella fotografia non è solo esercizio di stile ma parte integrante […] read more

“Utopía”: el lado oscuro de la imaginación por Pedro Luis Barbero, España Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…La música, compuesta por Cristobal Tapia de Veer, es completamente distinta a la escuchada en cualquier otra serie… Sonidos que son música o música que son sonidos.

If there isn’t already then Cristobal Tapia de Veer just invented it with the soundtrack to Channel 4’s huge summer hit, Humans (ahh, remember when we were all sweating Pimms and wondering what Colin Morgan’s character Leo was?).
