Fire Of Love - Music From And Inspired By The Motion Picture

Description

Record Makers is pleased to announce the release of the vinyl edition of Fire of Love, the sumptuous soundtrack to the film of the same name, composed by electronic music producer and AIR founder Nicolas Godin. The 15-track album includes his score for the film, which has just received the award for Best Original Music at the recent Cinema Eye Honors ceremony, as well as the original music inspired by the film. Fire of Love tells the extraordinary love story of the fearless French scientists Katia and Maurice Krafft, who died as explosively as they lived: by capturing the most spectacular images ever recorded of their greatest passion, volcanoes. “When director Sara Dosa and I first discussed Fire of Love, we wondered what kind of music would best suit the spirit of Katia and Maurice. We focused on the DIY experimental method they practiced throughout their lives to make their films, and I thought: ‘what if in their own laboratory they had a tiny room filled with electronic instruments and oscillators; they would record the soundtracks for their films themselves with carefully selected loyal collaborators.’ One word came to mind: artisanal. No expensive orchestra or pretentious percussion,” explains Nicolas Godin. He continues: “Coming myself from the world of home studio recording (like all the original members of the late-90s French Touch electronic music scene), it was natural for me to imagine myself in Katia and Maurice’s laboratory, creating sounds, noises and melodies with a few antediluvian keyboards and analog tape recorders. That’s how the Fire of Love soundtrack was born.” The result of this musical work is a lush krautrock electronic composition in the vein of Tangerine Dream or Oneohtrix Point Never.
