Milan Records has released a soundtrack album for the documentary Seeking Mavis Beacon. The album features the film’s original music composed by Fatima Al Qadiri (Atlantics, Skincare, The Grandmother). Visit Amazon or any other major digital music services to stream/download the soundtrack. Also listen to the composer’s first track (Cyber Doula) after the jump. Seeking Mavis Beacon is directed by Jazmin Renée Jones and centers on the educational software Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing that was launched in the late ’80s and taught millions globally, but the program’s Haitian-born cover model vanished decades ago. The movie follows two DIY investigators as they search for the unsung cultural icon, while questioning notions of digital security, AI, and Black representation in the digital realm. The documentary premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and is being released in select theaters this weekend by Neon.
