Dan Romer (Luca, Beasts of the Southern Wild, Beasts of No Nation, Atypical, Wendy) is scoring the upcoming HBO Max limited series Station Eleven.

So per this site Dan Romer composed the background music for the HBO series Station Eleven.
I know this is a long shot but I just got done watching Season 1 Episode 9 (Dr Chaudhary) of Station Eleven. I’m trying to find out what song is played starting at the 52:02 mark to 53:12 mark. Can you help identify this song & who composes it? It’s really a great song & very emotional and deep.
Yes!
