In 2012, Mikel Lauki was invited to participate in Cinetone, a festival where classic films are projected and their soundtracks are reinterpreted and performed live, fusing the cinema of the 20s with the advanced music of this century. Lauki recreated the soundtrack of “Herr Arnes Pengar” (Mauritz Stiller, 1919), a Nordic tragedy that tells the story of a love, a crime and a cruel trick of fate. The frozen atmosphere that envelopes the plot, the Scandinavian winter, get its own role, conditioning experiences and the emotional and dreamlike worlds of the characters and the viewer.
All tracks written and producer [sic] by Mikel Lauki at the turn 2011-2012. Except “Visions from Branehög” (original name “The Last Letters”), and “Redemption” (original name “V”) by Bartosz Dziadosz (Pleq) and Mikel Lauki.
Thanks to the whole Cinetone team for fueling the production of this work, and Luscinia records for publishing it.
