Der Dieb des Lichts - neuer score von andre matthias

[ronin1975]

zu der kazachstanisch-deutschen dramödie the light thief gibts nen limited release bei dem kleinen aber feinen label Kronosrecords. Sehr schöner flotter osteuropäisch angehauchter Score, der mich manchmal an Hans Zimmer erinnerte (und das im positiven Sinne). Musik von Andre Matthias, dessen The Drummer mir auch schon super gefiel. Check it out!

THE LIGHT THIEF/Andre Matthias/Kronos Records

German composer Andre Matthias has provided a beautiful, ethnic-rooted, and deeply affecting score for Aktan Arym Kubat's most recent film, SVET-AKE (THE LIGHT THIEF). The film takes place in a village in Kyrgyzstan, where the local population faces everyday problems after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The village electrician takes on the job of providing light to the locals, but also to spread happiness and love around him. The small film benefits from the honesty of Matthias’ score, which in its folk melodic structure and ethnic instrumentation lends a supportive verisimilitude to Kubat’s gentle film. The music is sublime, drawn from acoustic folk traditions with hauntingly beautiful melodies set on serene cadences. A couple of the tracks are bridged by brief vocal passages from traditional folk tunes, one of which (“The Women’s Song”) is also presented, a capella, fully in its own track. The album concludes with a 9-minute “Suite” that reconfigures the score’s main elements into a very fine progressive suite.
