In collaboration with Cinétévé, Music Box Records is proud to present on a 2-CD set two original scores composed by Éric Demarsan for two TV series created by Hervé Hadmar and Marc Herpoux (Signature and Pigalle, la Nuit) on the occasion of the release of the new TV series Les Témoins (Witnesses), starring Thierry Lhermitte, Marie Dompnier, Laurent Lucas and Jan Hammenecker.
Disc one is dedicated to the original soundtrack of Les Témoins (2014).
A model home. Unburied bodies found inside. Amongst the corpses, a picture of Paul Maisonneuve is discovered. Paul Maisonneuve: an ex-cop unlike any other, a Crime Squad “legend” in the north of France, who must now get back to work to solve the mystery. Who put the corpses in the model home? And why leave a photo of Paul Maisonneuve there? Paul Maisonneuve and Sandra Winckler, a young police detective, investigate. Two cops whose lives are about to change forever. An investigation during which they’ll have to explore a seaside town and its surroundings.
The truth lies somewhere in Paul Maisonneuve’s past. A past and an enigma embodied by Kaz Gorbier, Paul’s sworn enemy. Kaz Gorbier: a man he had already arrested a number of years before. A man who was supposed to have died a few months earlier in a prison fire. But a man who is very much alive and out to settle scores.
Strings, a piano, percussion and a hint of gamelan… The score composed by Éric Demarsan is mysterious and modern, revealing his ability to capture the universe of this contemporary thriller. The first CD includes the song We Don't Die by Tricky which is used for the main title sequence.
On Disc two, Music Box Records presents the expanded score of Les Oubliées (Forgotten Girls) (2007) the first collaboration between director Hervé Hadmar and composer Éric Demarsan.
A breathtaking thriller which cleverly plays with the genre's characteristics such as a cunning and methodical serial killer, a stubborn police detective and which keeps the audience on the edge of their seat from beginning to end. For six years now, Police Officer Janvier (Jacques Gamblin) has been obsessed by the unsolved disappearances of six girls. Janvier firmly believes that these six forgotten girls, whose bodies have never been found, were targeted by the same killer, even though the case has led to a dead end: no suspect, no trail... until a young woman vanishes in strangely similar circumstances. This time the murderer has left some clues. The moment Janvier has been waiting for so long has come at last: the faceless killer has finally come out of hiding and made his first mistake! The two men engage in merciless battle. But who will prevail?
Éric Demarsan wrote a wide and hypnotic music with some touch of lyricism. For its first CD release, the album includes 6 unreleased tracks.
This limited edition CD comes with an 8-page booklet featuring director Hervé Hadmar's statement.

In late 1960s, Jérôme Savary created the musical theatre company "Le Grand Magic Circus". American audience may be familiar with its name because Richard and Danny Elfman performed with Savary's Grand Magic Circus in the early 1970s. The show, Zartan, included Danny's first public musical performance and compositions. According to Richard Elfman, his work with Jérôme Savary and the Magic Circus helped inspired him to create the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo. Savary has remained active, producing such diverse works in musical theatre (operas, operettas, and musical comedies) until his death in 2013.
La Fille du garde-barrière (aka The Daughter of the Railroad Crossing Guard), the 1975 French sex comedy starring Mona Mour, Michel Dussarat, Annick Berger, Jean-Paul Farre, and Valerie Kling is the second film to have been directed by Jérôme Savary, after Le Boucher, la Star et l’Orpheline. Based on the idea by Roland Topor (screenwriter of Roman Polanski's The Tenant), this very curious completely silent melodrama tells the story of Mona, who has left her father, the railway gatekeeper, after being raped on the train track. She is kidnapped and taken to a Parisian whorehouse. However, a disinherited prince, Dudu who tries to rescue her, is himself kidnapped and forced to serve as a male prostitute. The two captives meet there and fall in love. They are taken away by different rich people - he to an Arab "harem," she to a surgeon's home.
Éric Demarsan composed the score as a long improvisation. He even considered the score as a nod to Jean Wiener (composer from the Golden Age of French cinema). The piano acts as referent to the silent cinema but the composer also used a large-scale orchestra, that of the London Philharmonic. The music refers to all the codes of silent film music: it was entirely written, almost frame by frame, with a precise motif representing each character. The eclectic score highlights all musical diversity such as jazz music, pastiche of oriental dances, mickey-mousing, piano solos with Demarsan's melodic and harmonic strong personality.
In collaboration with Sugar Music, Music Box Records presents this new expanded edition, mastered from the composer’s personal tapes and featuring thirteen minutes of previously unreleased tracks. The CD comes with an 8-page booklet featuring liner notes by Gilles Loison who discusses the film and the score. The release is limited to 500 units.
