Edvard Egilsson; Pall Ragnar Palsson - Edvard Egilsson; Pall Ragnar Palsson: Skjalfti

What happens when a soundtrack is taken from a film and given a life on its own?

When two Icelandic composers Pall Ragnar Palsson and Edvard Egilsson finished scoring Quake, a psychological family drama, they were not ready to stop just there. What followed was a voyage of musical discoveries as they allowed for new ideas to enter the creative space. Just as a plant spread itself over the whole garden, cues from the movie scenes become independent, mature songs. The soundscape dwells on the border of acoustic and electronic and drifts from song-based to textural, from atmospheric to cinematic with lustrous cello in the foreground.
