Interview


- Which are your main musical influences, in and outside film music?

Artists that I like: Björk, Nick Cave, Frank Zappa, Danny Elfman.

- How did you get involved with this film?

I was on holiday visiting my dad, who is working in Madrid, when I received the call from the main composer of the project. He said: we need a song for the opening sequence within 10 days!. Three days later I returned to Berlin. After five days I sent my first layout to the director.

- What were the main indications of the director?

The director used a Bob Dylan song as a layout music. The song worked pretty good for me. So, I aimed for a similar mood: Slow and full of pain and sorrow.

- Which what orchestra or musical instruments have you worked with in the song?

For What's the difference? I worked with a guitar player who performed backing vocals as well and a violin player. Although I can play guitar myself I preferred having someone else improvising. I did the main vocals by myself. Everything else was programmed by the co-producer Nils Vogel and by myself. One could call the movie intentionally trashy - that's why we added some bits that are slightly out-of-tune.
