Machinefabriek - Engel (2018)

After scoring Marta & Kim's short performance 'As Much As It's Worth' (machinefabriek.bandcamp.com/album/as-much-as-it-is-worth), they asked me to do the music for their full length piece 'Engel'. It existed already as a 30-minute version, but they decided to develop is further, and to have new music created for it. Marta & Kim's combination of contemporary dance and circus acrobatics is truly magical, and composing a soundtrack for it was a true joy. It resulted in a truly transportive performance.

One of the most refreshing moments in the score can be credited to Paal Nilssen-Love, the brilliant Norwegian drummer from whom I used a snippet of a live recording in the scene 'Two High Running'. After all the electronic, atmospheric sounds, his hard-hitting and playful drums are a breath of fresh air.
