Draumalandið (Dreamland) Music by Valgeir Sigurðsson
Loading...
Uploaded by BedroomCommunity on Mar 8, 2010
Here are a few music examples from Draumalandið (Dreamland), a documentary about the exploitation of Iceland's natural resources, tells a story about huge things—the fortunes of a whole nation; the destruction of vast landscapes; and the global economic forces, greater still than any nation, that fuel it all—and for his soundtrack to the film, Valgeir has brought out a heavier set of tools. His entire roster of Bedroom Community labelmates contributes in some way to the creation of the score: classical composers Nico Muhly and Daníel Bjarnason, industrial wizard Ben Frost, and American folksinger Sam Amidon, along with a host of others, and the small orchestra assembled for the record swells from moments of expansive beauty into massive, surging symphonic force. Its harmonies are anxious, pulsing, driven.

Great composition. I love the combination of low, dark timbres with high energy rhythm and swelling large-scale harmonic motion. One does feel a little sympathy for the reindeer, although I suspect they were designed to run and survived.
