THE STORY: Marc and Anna decide to change houses with Hans and Olga, a German retired couple they met online, little by little the change of houses becomes a nightmare for Marc and Anna who discover that they have other plans for them.
THE SCORE: “This film’s premise, and also its title, is the cuckoo bird. Since the cuckoo bird and the cuckoo clock are always present in the film, my first idea to build the main theme was the movement of the second hand of a mechanical clock. That is why, during the piece, the first thing we can hear are the violas playing the same note (G#) in exact one-second intervals, with a bow articulation called col legno, where the strings are struck with the wood stick. As the cuckoo bird had to be present in the main theme, the second idea was to include the classic melodic interval of the cuckoo calls. In this case, C natural/G#, played by the first violins, producing harmonics just touching softly a string with the finger while the bow is used normally. The main theme in a thriller tone written for string orchestra, piano, harp and percussion includes a small choir for three sopranos in order to highlight the idea of a ritual or spell, which plays a significant role in the film. Then, I introduced a mixed choir in other pieces to cast the spells mentioned before with the orchestra. The music evolves with the film, on a journey from light to darkness, always led by that cuckoo bird interval or melody, a motif that already always have been part of the collective memory.” - Diego Navarro

マル・タルガローナ監督、ベレン・クエスタ、マリナ・ガテル出演、Barry FilmsとRodar y Rodar Cine y Television製作、Filmax（スペイン）2023年公開の長編ホラー・スリラー映画のオリジナル・スコア。
トラックリスト第24回コスタ・デル・ソル国際映画祭2023で最優秀音楽賞を受賞。
ストーリー： マルクとアンナは、ネットで知り合ったハンスとオルガというドイツ人の定年退職夫婦と家を変えることにする。
スコア： "この映画の前提は、タイトルにもなっているカッコウ鳥である。鳩の鳥と鳩時計は常に映画の中に登場するので、メインテーマを構築するために私が最初に思いついたのは、機械式時計の秒針の動きだった。そのため、曲中、最初にヴィオラが同じ音（G#）を正確に1秒間隔で演奏しているのが聴こえるが、これはコル・レグノと呼ばれる弓のアーティキュレーションで、木の棒で弦を叩くのだ。メインテーマにはカッコウを登場させなければならないので、2つ目のアイデアは、カッコウの鳴き声の古典的な旋律的音程を入れることだった。この場合、第一ヴァイオリンが弾くCナチュラル/G#は、普通に弓を使いながら指で弦にそっと触れるだけで倍音を出す。弦楽オーケストラ、ピアノ、ハープ、打楽器のために書かれたスリラー調のメインテーマには、映画の中で重要な役割を果たす儀式や呪文のアイデアを強調するために、3人のソプラノによる小合唱が含まれている。その後、他の曲では混声合唱を導入し、オーケストラと一緒に前述した呪文を唱えるようにした。音楽は映画とともに進化し、光から闇への旅に出るが、常にあのカッコウの鳥の鳴き声やメロディーに導かれている。このモチーフは、すでに常に集団の記憶の一部となっている。" - ディエゴ・ナヴァロ
作曲家：ディエゴ・ナヴァロは、現在スペイン映画音楽界で最も有名な人物の1人である。彼の最新作は、『夜明けへの航路』でワールド・サウンドトラック・アワードにノミネートされ、『キャプチャー・ザ・フラッグ 月への大冒険！』でIFMCA賞にダブルノミネートされるなど、数々の賞を受賞し、ノミネートされている。『マウトハウゼンの写真家』の音楽は、第11回ガウディ賞と第2回スペイン・オーディオビジュアル音楽賞の“最優秀管弦楽曲賞”にノミネートされた。『El cuco』は、2023年の第24回ファンタスティック・コスタ・デル・ソル国際映画祭で最優秀音楽賞を受賞。指揮者としてのナバーロは、現在、映画音楽界で最も重要な指揮者の一人とみなされている。また、2023年7月に第17回を迎えた世界的に知られるテネリフェ国際映画音楽祭"Fimucite"のディレクター兼創設者として、このジャンルの主要なプロモーターでもある。
