ROBIN CAROLAN |
British Composer Robin Carolan was given a task of epic proportions when director Robert Eggers (The VVitch, The Lighthouse) asked him to create the soundtrack for his ambitious and highly lauded film The Northman (2022).
"Rob (Eggers) wanted the world of The Northman to feel harsh and uncomfortable, and for everything to feel like it was caked in mud and dry blood, so it was crucial for the score to mirror that" said the composer. The album as a whole is a cinematic masterpiece of sound and ambiance, both gorgeous and disturbing, like the film it so beautifully accompanies. The artist stretched himself to the depths of his creativity and the resulting album is a gorgeous sonic tableaux that places the listener right in the centre of the film. Having a background in left field electronic music, Robin felt liberated by the constraint of using a small selection of musical tools for this piece. "Electronic music has almost limitless potential when it comes to making sounds and that’s obviously an incredible thing, but you can also go down the wormhole and get lost in it sometimes. There’s no risk of that happening when you only have a few primary instruments to draw upon." Robin remarked. |
