Bleep

Following his work on award-winning HBO series Industry, Sydney Sweeney-starring film Reality, and critically acclaimed 2023 album To The God Named Dream, Nathan Micay continues his stellar scoring work with his soundtrack to the HBO original documentary Time Bomb Y2K directed by Brian Becker and Marley McDonald. As the clock counted down to the 21st century, the world faced the largest potential technological disaster to ever threaten humanity: the millennium bug. Crafted entirely through archival footage, the feature documentary looks back at this millennial milestone with an eye towards the power and vulnerabilities of technology. Micay’s score captures the paranoia of the approach to the millennium and infuses the sounds of the time into the soundtrack: breakbeat-infused underscoring, chill-out, and trip-hop.
