Rostam Scores His Brother’s New Netflix Show “The OA”

“The OA” is a new sci-fi/drama series that debuted on Netflix today. Starring Brit Marling, it was also co-written by Marling alongside her frequent collaborator Zal Batmanglij—who happens to be the brother of Rostam Batmanglij. Now, it has been revealed in T Magazine that Rostam was responsible for composing all the music for “The OA,” as Stereogum points out. Speaking on Rostam’s song “Wood” and its influence on her writing, Marling said, “This story touches a lot of dark places, but ultimately reaches for something very bright and expansive. Sometimes while I was working on the character in my imagination, I would listen to Rostam’s song, and it would remind me of that dazzle.” Rostam composed the score with Danny Bensi & Saunder Jurriaans.

Earlier this year, Rostam came together with the Walkmen’s Hamilton Leithauser for a joint album, I Had a Dream That You Were Mine.
