In a recent tweet, Beck said, “Working off of the paper. Recording orchestrations for the film @ROMACuaron by @alfonsocuaron which will be released soon.” What this exactly means is anyone’s guess, but it seems as if Beck is contributing music for “Roma” in some capacity.

With the picture of the sheet music and the massive publicity push that Netflix is giving Cuaron’s film, it appears that Beck will be doing a performance of the music from “Roma,” sometime in the future. Perhaps, Netflix is preparing for a special screening of the film with a live performance of the score from Beck? That wouldn’t be a complete shock, with the streaming service looking to make news with “Roma” as awards season continues. Another option could be that the musician is working on performing some music that will be used in some sort of soundtrack or accompaniment for the film. Either way, it’s interesting that Beck, of all musicians, would be the artist that Cuarón and Netflix would choose to collaborate with for a Spanish-language film set in 1970s Mexico City.

We’ll keep an eye out to see what Beck and Cuarón have up their sleeves with this collaboration. Because so far, everything we’ve seen and heard from “Roma” keeps raising our anticipation up more and more.

Here’s the synopsis for the film:

The most personal project to date from Academy Award®-winning director and writer Alfonso Cuarón (Gravity, Children of Men, Y Tu Mama Tambien), ROMA follows Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio), a young domestic worker for a family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma in Mexico City. Delivering an artful love letter to the women who raised him, Cuarón draws on his own childhood to create a vivid and emotional portrait of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst the political turmoil of the 1970s. Cuarón’s first project since the groundbreaking Gravity in 2013.
