Did you know that there is a new Nosferatu film on release around christmas and the new year,depending where you are in the world? We love a good vampire film at DeClunk, from the old black and white 1922, to Hammer and Christopher Lee, to Klaus Kinski, and David Bowie in The Hunger. The third piece from the soundtrack is now released. It’s called ‘Daybreak’, the usual time for a lie down in a coffin for any self respecting bloodsucker. The other two are here for your pleasure too. The whole soundtrack is set for release on November 22nd, you can pre-order now. Should sit nicely next to Thom Yorke’s ‘Suspiria’. Have a listen, then read the info on who is responsible for this new cool gothic soundtrack.
Robin Carolan’s latest soundtrack for the highly anticipated Nosferatu is a haunting, gothic-infused and meticulously crafted work that draws from a vast palette of sounds, instruments, and inspirations. Following their successful collaboration on The Northman, Carolan reunites with Eggers to bring the legendary tale of Nosferatu to life, infusing the film with a score that is as complex and nuanced as the story itself.
With Daniel Pioro, one of Britain’s most exciting young classical musicians, at the helm as the orchestra leader and first chair for a vast majority of the recording, the soundtrack for Nosferatu features a vast orchestration, including 60 string players, a full choir, various horns and woodwinds, a harpist, and two percussionists. This orchestral richness brings a profound depth to the score. “From the get-go, it was important to me that I not just write something you’d solely think of as a ‘horror score’,” Carolan explains. “I wanted to really lean into the melancholy, tragic aspect of the tale, and even make room for something akin to romance, albeit a very warped kind of romanticism.”
