A NOTE FROM THE COMPOSER | |||||||||||||||||
|
Deep Water (Dybt Vand) is a suspense thriller shot in Denmark by the renowned Danish director Ole Bornedal (Nightwatch). The story is an intense character piece as it chronicles a prominent, honest man's descent into the basest human survival impulses as he gets entagled into a web of deceit and greed. In the music I tried to reflect this character distortion by taking a simple motive and developing it contrapuntally into a cacophonic brangle. This thematic development is perhaps most completely stated in the "Deep Water Overture. The film, while very classical in its subject matter and setting, is quite radical in its visceral impact and Ole is a master at keeping the viewer's comfort zone constantly upset. So too, I thought the music should have a traditional, refined reference and depart into the more primitive and disorienting. (In fact the listener may notice the actual use of Bach's Eb cello suite reharmonized towards the ending reconciliation of the film - we are back to civilization, yet the familiar setting can never be viewed the same for those who just witnessed the limits of their humanity.) The inclusion of "techno" as a separate element of the score was used as a part of the underworld accompaniment, and in particular, the heroine's involvement in a phone sex operation. The score was recorded January 1999 by Danish Radio Orchestra. | |||||||||||||||||
