Blood Orange’s Dev Hynes Shares Music From an Unused Film Score

When life hands you lemons, just post the lemonade online. Devonte "Dev" Hynes (a.k.a. Blood Orange) created an instrumental score for an upcoming indie film. But after being fired from the project, he's uploaded the nearly 46 minutes of atmospheric music on YouTube.

Hynes said on Twitter, "I spent the last few months working on a film score, then I got fired. No hard feelings. Here’s some of the music. Listen & zone out if you want." Hynes wrote, performed and produced all the music himself using cello, piano, synthesizers, drum machines, flute and more. Listen to the music for the movie (which he doesn't name) below.

Hynes previously created the score for Gia Coppola's 2013 film, Palo Alto, based on a collection of stories by James Franco.
