The Midwich Cuckoos is based on the 1957 science fiction novel by John Wyndham, and tells the story of an English village where the women become mysteriously pregnant.

Hannah Peel`s score is described as a unique and intricately produced soundscape, working in harmony with the sound design of Sky's adaptation.

With analogue synthesisers recreating the horror of the `Hive Mind', tape manipulations, drones, woodwind and melodies echoing the song of the cuckoo bird, Peel creates a score that perfectly balances the organic instrumentations and melodies, juxtaposed with an increasingly dark electronic `invasion'.
