Robin Carolan's latest soundtrack for Robert Eggers' highly anticipated Nosferatu is a haunting, gothic-infused and meticulously crafted work that draws from a vast palette of sounds, instruments, and inspirations. Following their successful collaboration on The Northman, Carolan reunites with Eggers to bring the legendary tale of Nosferatu to life, infusing the film with a score that is as complex and nuanced as the story itself. With Daniel Pioro, one of Britain's most exciting young classical musicians, at the helm as the orchestra leader and first chair for a vast majority of the recording, the soundtrack features a vast orchestration, including 60 string players, a full choir, various horns and woodwinds, a harpist, and two percussionists. Despite the grandeur of the orchestration, one of the most challenging pieces was the music box used at the film's beginning. Carolan and Eggers struggled to perfect it's sound, a process marked by their meticulous attention to detail, which Carolan describes as almost telepathic. Set in the 1800s, Nosferatu allowed Carolan to incorporate contemporary instrumentation, though he made a deliberate effort to ensure the score didn't sound overly modern. Letty Stott, who also worked on The Northman, contributed ancient horns and pipes, enhancing the soundtrack's eerie atmosphere. Additionally, percussionist Paul Clarvis custom-built a toaca-like instrument for added authenticity. Carolan's inspirations for the soundtrack were as eclectic as they were profound. He frequently drew upon the works of Bartok and Coil, while films like The Innocents, Angels and Insects, and Eyes Wide Shut provided cinematic inspiration. Additionally, he explored the more obscure side of Hammer Horror soundtracks and found a deep connection to the music of the Ukrainian film The Eve of Ivan Kupalo, which helped shape the score's otherworldly tone. Carolan intentionally moved beyond the typical horror score, focusing on capturing the tale's melancholy and tragic elements while weaving in a sense of warped romanticism. The result is a soundtrack that not only complements the film but also stands on it's own as a testament to Carolan's artistry and the enduring power of collaboration..

ロバート・エガーズ監督(ウィッチ、ライトハウス、ノースマン 導かれし復讐者)の期待作『ノスフェラトゥ』のサウンドトラックは、ロビン・キャロランの最新作である。ロビン・キャロランの最新作『ノスフェラトゥ』のサウンドトラックは、ゴシックに彩られ、綿密に作り上げられた作品である。サウンド、楽器、インスピレーションの膨大なパレットから引き出された作品である。ザ・ノースマン』でのコラボレーションの成功に続き ザ・ノースマン』でのコラボレーションの成功に続き、キャロランはエガーズと再タッグを組み、伝説的な『ノスフェラトゥ』の物語に命を吹き込んだ。物語そのものと同じくらい複雑でニュアンス豊かなスコアを映画に吹き込んだ。
トラックリスト英国で最もエキサイティングな若手クラシック音楽家の一人であるダニエル・ピオロを指揮者に迎え、オーケストラ・リーダー兼首席奏者を務める。このサウンドトラックは、レコーディングの大部分でオーケストラ・リーダー兼ファースト・チェアを務めている。このサウンドトラックには、60人の弦楽器奏者、フルコーラス、様々なホルン、木管楽器、ハープ奏者、そして、英国で最も注目される若手クラシック音楽家ダニエル・ピオロが、レコーディングの大部分においてオーケストラ・リーダー兼首席奏者を務めている。ハープ奏者、そして2人のパーカッショニストだ。オーケストレーションの壮大さにもかかわらず、最も困難だった曲のひとつは、映画の冒頭で使われるオルゴールだった。
1800年代を舞台にした『ノスフェラトゥ』では、キャロランは現代的な楽器を取り入れることができた。ザ・ノースマン』でも活躍したレティ・ストットが古代のホルンとパイプを提供し、サウンドトラックの不気味な雰囲気を高めている。さらに、パーカッショニストのポール・クラービスがトアカのような楽器を特注し、信憑性を高めた。
キャロランは、このサウンドトラックのために様々なインスピレーションを得た。彼は頻繁にバルトークやコイルの作品を引用し、『イノセント』、『天使と昆虫』、『アイズ・ワイド・シャット』といった映画は映画的なインスピレーションを与えた。さらに、彼はハマー・ホラーのサウンドトラックのより無名な側面を探求し、ウクライナ映画『イワン・クパロの前夜祭』の音楽に深いつながりを見出し、それがスコアの異世界的なトーンを形作る助けとなった。
キャロランは意図的に典型的なホラー・スコアの枠を超え、歪んだロマンティシズムを織り交ぜながら、物語のメランコリーで悲劇的な要素を捉えることに集中した。
その結果、映画を引き立てるだけでなく、キャロランの芸術性とコラボレーションの不朽の力を証明するサウンドトラックが完成した。
