It’s not always that we find a decent movie or TV soundtrack. But to find an excellent one? David Buckley has composed a solid musical gem that goes with this fantastic Netflix series, The Sandman. I’ve been a fan of Neil Gaiman for more than twenty years. You can imagine how it felt upon hearing that they’re making a TV adaptation of the graphic novel!

The Sandman is Morpheus, the god of the dream/nightmare realm. To appreciate the story of Sandman, you need to have an insight into Jungian Psychology, Religion, and Mythology. The music captures the mood of the series. His realm is beautiful, magical, brooding, and often baffling. This idea is beautifully translated into moving visuals, thanks to the special effects team and people who designed the set. Neil Gaiman is involved with the series as the executive producer. 

Composer David Buckey has excellent credits, like The Good Wife, The Forbidden Kingdom, Papillon, Angel Has Fallen, Nobody, The Stranger, and Greenland.

He was a cathedral choirboy before studying music.
