Anna Rosenkilde - Dreaming Murakami (Original Score) (2021) [Hi-Res]

DREAMING MURAKAMI
Original Score release May 21, 2021 - music by Anna Rosenkilde
The film score for Dreaming Murakami invites you into beautiful and disturbing soundscapes, atmospheric compositions, poetic piano pieces, and dreamy sequences creating a remarkable universe of their own.

Dreaming Murakami directed by Nitesh Anjaan has become a succes on film festivals and with audiences all over the world. The film follows Mette Holm’s work on translating Haruki Murakami’s novels into Danish. During one of Mette’s travels to Japan, a two-meter-tall frog shows up at an underground station in Tokyo. The Frog follows her, determined to engage the translator in its fight against the gigantic Worm, who is slowly waking from a deep sleep, ready to destroy the world with hatred. As Mette struggles to find the perfect sentences capable of communicating what Murakami’s solitary, daydreaming characters are trying to tell us, the boundary between reality and imagination begins to blur.

“For a long time I have loved reading Murakami’s books, and working on the music for the film, it was important to me to create a specific universe for the audience to step into. In the beginning I made a lot of little sketches and sound experiments we could play with to help evolve and define an atmosphere and evoke our curiosity. Then as the film took form, the music also developed into longer pieces supporting Mette’s story, Frog’s mission and the fading distinction between dream and reality”- Anna Rosenkilde
