This is the study score featuring the complete original music by Mica Levi composed for Jonathan Glazer's stunning 2013 film Under the Skin, starring Scarlett Johansson.

Her collaboration with the London Sinfonietta caught Jonathan Glazer's attention, who wanted to use her talents with creating uncomfortable and jarring yet beautiful soundscapes to complement his starkly unusual imagery. Levi won a European Film Award for best composer for this work, and she was also nominated for a BAFTA. / Conducteur De Poche

Par EICHBERG NILS SOREN. „Oryx and Crake“ tells the story of the only human survivor on Earth. In flash-backs, revealing only bit by bit, we must ourselves put together the pieces of the drama that lead to the apocalypse. The opera unfolds within 24 hours, beginning at dawn and finishing the next morning. Atwood’s love-triangle offers plenty of classic music drama, her dystopia is painted in complex, industrial soundscapes and the post-armageddon solitude in contemporary-contemplative open spaces. Electronics extend and augment the orchestral colours and help achieving the unreal „haunted“ atmosphere and the different reality levels of the protagonist’s memory. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Orchestre Symphonique

For Wind Band and Pre-Recorded Soundscape L4. Par SHAPIRO ALEX. Ascent reflects the effort to get off the ground, literally or figuratively. It's a micro-overture that begins with the promise of upward transcendence, yet soon flies off into rogue disorganization. A raucous flock of notes finally converges into a united upward-headed murmuration, but the freedom of soaring through the sky brings an uneasy mystery before settling into the tranquil air of anticipation./ Répertoire / Concert Band
