BREAKING it to anyone who’d already mentally filed this under “unexpected Brian Eno side quest”: the soundtrack for ‘At Night’ isn’t his.

According to a new report, the film’s music comes from experimental musician Elvin Brandhi, who has composed the soundtrack for Beatrice Gibson’s Locarno-premiering film. If you’ve seen Eno’s name floating around in connection with the score, consider this the firm, tidy correction.

That clarification matters because soundtrack chatter has a way of rewriting a film’s identity before audiences even see a frame. Slap a famous name on the music and it becomes a shortcut for tone, prestige and expectation. Here, the reality is more interesting: ‘At Night’ is tied to a maker who lives in the experimental lane, and who’s stepping into feature work in a way that’s new for both her and the project.

For Brandhi, it’s a milestone. This is her first feature soundtrack, and the collaboration itself is part of the story. Gibson has shared insights into how the score was made together, spotlighting process over myth-making and suggesting the music isn’t an afterthought stapled on at the end, but a shaped element with its own creative push and pull.

Gibson has also spoken about whether Brandhi might return for more film work, and there’s another thread running alongside the premiere build-up: Brandhi has an upcoming album. In other words, this isn’t a one-off moment that vanishes after the festival credits roll; it sits in a broader arc of what she’s doing next.

There’s something deliciously telling about the whole mix-up, too. The instinct to assume “it must be Eno” says as much about how audiences read experimental sound worlds as it does about who actually made them. ‘At Night’ now arrives with its authorship put back in the right hands — and that, frankly, makes the film feel sharper already.
