The music
The sound, the music and the silences of the
film will heighten this progression of doubt
toward anguish. The noises, sounds,
breathing change into music, and then this
music metamorphoses back into noise, an
organic concentration of sound. Each
setting, each state of soul has its theme, its
cadence and its musical punctuation over
the ambient sound, and is underlined by the
tones of certain Afghan instruments and the
vocal strength of the characters. This noise,
these sounds take on so much more
importance coming out of silence. A silence
that gives voice to Yassin's universe, the
world of a child going deaf as bombs drop
on his village.
It's about giving musical expression to the
gesture, the gaze, the silence of the
characters.
***Francesco Russo & Khaled Arman (They
made the score for the movie "Earth
And Ashes. It,s a mixture between
traditional Afghanistan music and dark
soundscapes. It,s quite different from their
band Kabul Workshop. This cd is
a beautiful thriller that doesn,t need a movie
to make an excellent
impression! » Jan Willem Broke Radio 100
