Lepage, Robert Marcel

20 H 17 Rue Darling

Label: Ambiances Magnetiques Country: Canada

Robert Marcel Lepage has composed a great deal of music for film, including his work for the film Full Blast. This album presents the music for the full-length film by Bernard ƒmond "20 H 17 Rue Harling". Lepage's original music is interwoven with pieces from Beethoven, including his ÒGhostÓ Trio (for piano, violin and cello). The music is intermingled with the voice of the journalist in the film, GŽrard (played by Luc Picard), and with sound effects. The result is haunting, dark and lyrical, with melancholy harmonies and powerful string arrangements. The result is a coherent album that stands on its own as a fascinating work of music.
