Eric Demarsan - Juillet En Septembre / Les Mal Partis

In collaboration with Universal Publishing Production Music and StudioCanal, Music Box Records presents the premiere CD release of the original soundtracks of S�bastien Japrisot's only two feature films composed and conducted by �ric Demarsan (Army of Shadows, Special Section): Juillet en septembre (July in September, 1988) and Les Mal Partis (The False Start, 1976).For Juillet en septembre, �ric Demarsan provides a thunderous score with a touch of melancholy, referring the imagination of the main character, who has dreams about the United States and wide open spaces. The saxophone/guitars/bass guitar/drums combination dominates sharp strings and powerful rhythmic basses, creating a surprising cocktail. This ambiguous ballet where dangerousness, strangeness and softness cohabit creates a surprising mirror effect between an intimate drama and a thriller.For Les Mal Partis, it tells the story of a 14-year-old boy who has a passionate love affair with a nun during the German Occupation in France. �ric Demarsan provides this haunting, melancholy yet joyous theme whistled by Michel Ganot. Japrisot asked his friend Darry Cowl to compose the main title theme, arranged by Jean-Michel Defaye.The two scores have been fully remastered by Christophe H�nault from the scoring session elements. The package includes an 8-page booklet featuring exclusive liner notes by writer G�rard Dastugue and new comments by �ric Demarsan on his collaboration with S�bastien Japrisot (author of One Deadly Summer and A Very Long Engagement).
