Original score from the 2023 horror feature film directed by Simon Sandquist, starring Omar Rudberg, Wilma Liden and Amanda Lindh, produced by Scandinavian Content Group and released by Splendid Film (Germany) and Nordisk Film (Sweden).
THE STORY: An exclusive private Halloween night at Liseberg quickly turns into a true nightmare.
THE SCORE: “Doing a movie score is never simple nor easy, but it can be fun, and this one really was. Having read the script, talking with the director and producers, we figured out the ”sound world” of the score. And then, later on, screening an early version of the film with the director we sorted out the general dynamic and emotional arcs. The whole score ended up being comprised of 32 cues ? 72 of the 87 minute film was scored. After some considerations, my first priority in the score became the villain. Like most bad guys in these kind of movies he doesn’t say very much, he’s not very happy and he never runs. I came up with a very simple, slow three note motif not rooted in major or minor. This freed me up to play the more emotional and big heroic stuff in minor key without it being connected to the crazy murderer. I created a good amount of original Kontakt instruments from my own samples (including a vintage Oberheim OB-Xa, Make Noise Strega, a Brazilian made EMW WCS-1 synth and my old Ensoniq EPS sampler). Karusell is a wildly dynamic score with lots of twists and turns, ups and downs and things happening around every corner. Much like the experience of a really good amusement park!” ? Cristian Sandquist

オマール・ルドベリ、ウィルマ・リデン、アマンダ・リンド主演、サイモン・サンドクイスト監督長編ホラー映画『HALLOWEEN PARK (KARUSELL)』のオリジナル・スコア。
トラックリストストーリー：リセベルクでのハロウィーンの一夜が、悪夢へと変わる。
スコア：「映画音楽を担当するのは決して簡単なことではないが、楽しいことでもある。脚本を読み、監督やプロデューサーと話し、スコアの "音の世界 "を把握した。そしてその後、監督と一緒に映画の初期バージョンを上映しながら、大まかなダイナミックさと感情の弧を整理していった。結局、全体のスコアは32キューで構成され、87分の映画のうち72分がスコアされた。いくつか検討した結果、私がスコアで最優先したのは悪役だった。この手の映画の悪役の多くがそうであるように、彼はあまり多くを語らず、あまり幸せではなく、決して逃げない。私は、長調でも短調でもない、とてもシンプルでゆっくりとした3音のモチーフを思いついた。そうすることで、より感情的で大ヒーロー的なものを短調で演奏しても、それが狂気の殺人鬼と結びつかないようにすることができたんだ。自分のサンプル（ヴィンテージのオーバーハイムOB-Xa、Make Noise Strega,、ブラジル製のEMW WCS-1シンセ、古いエンソニックのEPSサンプラーなど）から、オリジナルのKontaktインストゥルメントをかなり作った。Karusellは、紆余曲折、浮き沈みが激しく、あらゆるコーナーで何かが起こる、ワイルドでダイナミックなスコアだ。--- Cristian Sandquist
