In 2014, Cliff Martinez was the guest of honour at the annual World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert, where the Brussels Philharmonic, conducted by Dirk Brosse, performed a selection of his music for cinema. Following early stints as a drummer in rock bands - he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a former member of the Red Hot Chili Peppers - the American composer has built a successful and distinctive career in music for screen and is well known for his multiple collaborations with directors Steven Soderbergh and Nicolas Winding Refn. Nevertheless, Film Fest Gent's invitation was considered somewhat unexpected at the time, since, up until then, most composers featured at this event had a largely orchestral oeuvre that was more adaptable to a symphonic concert setting.
Cliff Martinez is, without question, at the forefront of the art of composing for screen - his ethereal and pulsating sounds are always modern, always innovative. Over the years, his music has proven to be a highly effective and essential contribution to the atmosphere of the films it accompanies, yet this album testifies that his scores remain equally spellbinding, and indeed contagious, away from those films.

2014年、クリフ・マルティネスは毎年恒例の「ワールド・サウンドトラック・アワード授賞式＆コンサート」に特別ゲストとして招かれ、ディルク・ブロッセ指揮のブリュッセル・フィルハーモニー管弦楽団が、彼の映画音楽の中から選りすぐりの曲を演奏した。ロックバンドのドラマーとしての初期の活動（レッド・ホット・チリ・ペッパーズの元メンバーとしてロックの殿堂入りを果たしている）を経て、このアメリカ人作曲家は映画音楽の分野で成功を収め、独自のキャリアを築き上げ、スティーヴン・ソダーバーグやニコラス・ウィンディング・レフンといった監督たちとの数多くのコラボレーションで広く知られている。とはいえ、当時、フィルム・フェスト・ゲントからの招待は多少意外なものとして受け止められた。というのも、それまでの同イベントに登場した作曲家の多くは、交響楽コンサートという形式に適したオーケストラ作品を主に手掛けていたからだ。
トラックリストクリフ・マルティネスは、疑いようもなく映画音楽の最前線に立つ存在だ。彼の幽玄かつ鼓動感あふれるサウンドは、常に現代的であり、常に革新的である。長年にわたり、彼の音楽は映画の雰囲気を形作る上で極めて効果的かつ不可欠な要素であることを証明してきたが、このアルバムは、映画という枠を超えても、彼の楽曲が同様に人々を魅了し、そして確かに心を揺さぶるものであることを証明している。
