My new album The Real Charlie Chaplin (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is out today!
The day is finally here, friends. I hope that you can take the time to listen to these cues from The Real Charlie Chaplin. It was such a joy to make this score and also a huge learning process. I'm really proud of where it landed and thrilled to be sharing it with you today. Coinciding with Bandcamp Friday, this soundtrack album also marks the creation of my label Up in the Attic Records.

COMPOSER ROBERT HONSTEIN RELEASES DEBUT FILM SCORE:
THE REAL CHARLIE CHAPLIN SOUNDTRACK
AVAILABLE DECEMBER 1ST, 2023
BOSTON, MA (October 27th, 2023) – With fifty minutes of original music, The Real Charlie Chaplin marks composer Robert Honstein’s first foray into the world of film music. Each cue reflects the various sides of the dynamic actor-comedian and his life, from his mesmerizing on-camera antics to the tumultuous and secretive personal life. Much like the documentary narrative, the music follows his harsh childhood, through the years of stardom and scandal, to the later years of fatherhood and mystery.
The film premiered at the 2021 Telluride Film Festival, and the soundtrack was nominated for Outstanding Music Composition in the 43rd News & Documentary Emmys. Directed by Peter Middleton and James Spinney, the film received documentary award nominations from the Zurich Film Festival, Hamptons International Film Festival, British Independent Film Award, with three Critics’ Choice nominations. The documentary began streaming on Showtime in December 2021 and premiered in UK theaters in February 2022.
