Flickan (The Girl) OST Album is out

So, it has been out for a while, but this is a formal announcement.
You can buy the soundtrack to Fredrik Edfeldt’s truly lovely film Flickan on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, etc.

Here’s the trailer to the original film (in Swedish);

It was quite a conceptual one for me as the music was needed to convey a variety of tones and moods on what is a sensitive subject matter (the isolation of a child) without becoming maudlin or over sentimental. We went with Piano, some very intimate cellos and violins, and lots of vintage analogue synths.

“Flickan” received two special mentions at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival.

And you can buy the album here;

New Site; No more Music-Pro-Gratis

Hi there.

Following a few problems with the last site, this new one is under development.

Sorry but the Music Pro-Gratis element bit the dust. It was something I was offering for the One Minute to Save the World competition entries, but I won’t have time to get it up and running again.
Apologies to those who were using it. You can still email me direct

cheers

Leaving nominated for prestigious BIFA awards

“Leaving”, a short film (featuring original music by Dan Berridge/Broadway Project), is one of five films nominated for the prestigious award for Best British Short at this year’s BIFA awards.

To be eligible for the Short Film category, the film must have already won an award at a festival, making the competition particularly strong. Kierston Wareing, the female lead in Leaving, has also received one of eight nominations for Andrea Arnold’s feature film Fish Tank for Best Supporting Actress.

Leaving has already enjoyed success at various festivals and competitions including 1st prize at TCM classic shorts competition in 2008, the Silver Dragon at Crakow Film Festival, Best Film from the South West at Encounters and the Fuji Award for Best Cinematography.

More info can be found on the Omni Productions blog.

Identity of the Soul

Fresh from sold out full-size (5 cinema screens) screenings in Norway, Qatar, Palestine, Jordan and UAE, the “Studio” version of “Identity of the Soul” takes on its 2nd half of its mini-UK tour. You can catch it in the venues below. It really is a feast for the eyes and ears! And the closest you’ll get to see personal appearance by me.

2.30pm Saturday 7th November Cameo Picturehouse, Edinburgh

6.45pm Tuesday 10th November Scala Cinema, Prestatyn

7pm Wednesday 11th November Chapter Cinema, Cardiff

6.45pm Tuesday 17th November Regal Picturehouse, Henley

time tbc Sunday 20th December Pictureville Cinema, Bradford

time tbc Thursday 21st January Birmingham Library Theatre

“Identity of the Soul” is a live cinematic performance about revenge, reconciliation and the individual. The score was written by Paul Noble and myself.

“The performance is not just a supreme technical achievement, it is also profoundly moving and offers a rare insight into the human condition. … powerful, visually impressive and emotionally stirring. If you miss Terje Vigen – Identity of the Soul …you will miss something great.”

Flickan (The Girl) OST

If you are living in Europe (outside the UK) then you should keep an eye out for the Swedish film “Flickan (The Girl)”, which is doing the rounds in selected cinema’s.

I’m very proud to have written all the music for this film.

The film recieved a special mention at the 2009 Berlin Film Festival and is a beautiful piece of work IMHO. Details of a UK and US release are still to be worked out, but I’ll post as soon as I know (they don’t tell me anything).

I will be releasing the soundtrack as per usual on ODS Recordings, which you’ll be able to find on iTunes, Spotify, et’al soon. Again, I’m not sure when.

To celebrate, here’s a track from the score:
