The Solitude of Prime Numbers (2011) is a soundtrack album by Mike Patton for the film The Solitude of Prime Numbers, directed by Saverio Costanzo. The album contains all the music used in the film, along with additional pieces that the director rejected. It also includes music inspired by Patton's reading of the novel in both the original Italian and English translation.
The track "The Snow Angel" was later featured in The Place Beyond the Pines (2012), Patton's next film score. An edited, slowed-down version was also used in that film's trailer.
