Two new films with music composed by Pascal Gaigne…

LASA & ZABALA
Music Composed by Pascal Gaigne
Performed by The Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by Claudio Ianni
Release date: 09/29/2014



French composer Pascal Gaigne (Verbo, Chaika, The Last Days of Lucifer) returns with two new films, very different from each other. The first one is Lasa & Zabala, a new film by Pablo Malo, starring Unax Ugalde, Francesc Orella, Aitor Mazo and Oriol Vila.

The film is a thriller about the first action headed by the paramilitary antiterrorist group GAL in 1983. Two Spanish policemen, following the direct orders of General Rodriguez Galindo, kidnapped two ETA activist members, Jose Antonio Lasa and José Ignacio Zabala. Lasa and Zabala were taken to La Cumbre palace, in San Sebastian (Basque Country), where they were tortured and interrogated. Both activists were later killed and buried in the city of Alicante, where their bodies were found in 1985.

Pascal Gaigne provides an energetic, dark and crude orchestral score that reflects the turbulent years of repression in the Basque country in the early eighties. Performed by the Bulgarian Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Claudio Ianni.




LOREAK (FLOWERS)
Music Composed by Pascal Gaigne
Performed by The Bratislava Symphony Orchestra
Conducted by David Hernando
Release date: 09/29/2014



The other new film composed by Pascal Gaigne (Amaren Eskuak, Los mundos sutiles, Matka Edeniin) is Loreak (Flowers), directed by Jon Garaño y Jose Mari Goenaga (who worked with Gaigne previously on the film 80 Egunean).

Loreak (Flowers) is the story of three women whose lives are altered by the mere presence of flowers. Ane's life takes a turn when a bouquet of flowers is delivered to her house every week, always anonymously. Lourdes and Tere's lives are also affected when a stranger leaves a weekly bouquet in memory of someone important in their lives.

Composing the music for this film was a very special challenge for Pascal Gaigne. He gave his score a kind of romantic and impressionist complexion, with delicate orchestration and a beautiful, flowing leitmotif that unfolds slowly throughout the entire score. Performed by The Bratislava Symphony Orchestra, conducted by David Hernando.

LOREAK is too minimal and ambient for my taste but the samples I listened to from LASA & ZABALA won me over easily - this is a very solid work!
