Quartet Records, in collaboration with Solisterrae Music, present the score by renowned composer Pascal Gaigne (EL SOL DEL MEMBRILLO, PIEDRAS, EL OTRO BARRIO, HANDIA) for the film DANTZA, directed by Telmo Esnal in 2018, which has become a cult movie.
DANTZA is a musical film that, through Basque dances and all the symbolism they embody, tells a story about the cycle of life and the evolution of man. A story of effort, mastery of nature, myths, the struggle for survival, celebration, love and death, where gestures, songs, rhythms and the whole wide range of nonverbal language envelop the central discourse woven by the dances.
Composing the music for this film was a challenge. Adapting several folk dances and adding his own compositions, Gaigne weaves a common thread through the musical history of the Basque Country with his original arrangements and approaches, drawing on an unusual ensemble of musicians, percussionists and string and woodwind sections.
It is one of his most daring and captivating works, which deserved to be released as an album. Limited edition: 300 units.
作曲家パスカル・ゲーニュ（『マルメロの陽光』『クリミナル・プラン 完全なる強奪計画』『43年後のアイ・ラヴ・ユー』）による、テルモ・エスナル監督による2018年製作の映画『DANTZA』のサウンドトラックがリリース！本作はカルト映画としての地位を確立している。
トラックリスト『DANTZA』はバスクの舞踊と、それらが体現するあらゆる象徴性を通じて、生命の循環と人間の進化を描く音楽映画である。努力、自然の支配、神話、生存競争、祝祭、愛、そして死の物語。そこでは身振り、歌、リズム、そしてあらゆる非言語表現が、舞踊によって紡がれる中心的な物語を包み込む。
本作の音楽制作は挑戦であった。複数の民俗舞踊をアレンジし自身の作曲を加えながら、ガインはバスク地方の音楽史に共通の糸を紡ぐ。独自の編曲とアプローチで、打楽器奏者、弦楽器奏者、木管楽器奏者からなる異例のアンサンブルを駆使している。
これは彼の最も大胆で魅惑的な作品の一つであり、アルバムとしてリリースされるに値するものである。
300枚限定盤。
