High Life represents the pinnacle of Stuart A. Staples' work for director Claire Denis; it is the eighth Denis soundtrack by either Tindersticks or Staples. From the orchestral romanticism of "Trouble Every Day," the dry African landscapes of "White Material" and the dark, electronic brooding of "Les Salauds," High Life is the most ambitious and experimental score to date. Although High Life exists loosely within the sci-fi genre and is set on board a prison spacecraft, the music concentrates on the hypnotic nature of that existence and the intimacy, both violent and tender, of the relationships within. "I approached High Life with the simple idea of creating a sort of random music, existing in a void – like the constellations themselves – a framework that was always hidden from the musician and that they had only minimal or no information to play or react to as we recorded," Staples explains. "I felt the score should be intimate and hypnotic. Music made of hands and breath - acoustic instruments, electric guitars, fingertips."
