Single UK 2018 on Ondes Positives Recordings label
Electronic and Soundtrack (Ambient, Experimental, Minimal, Soundtrack, Score)
Released in three deluxe box set editions: ● Darkroom Edition ● Museum Edition ● Endless Edition The second release from Ondes Positive’s in-house band LARVA. Recorded live at Flatpack Film Festival [UK] in April 2016, LARVA's re-scoring of Chris Marker's experimental 1962 Science Fiction short sets out to re-frame the film from existential romance to abyssal fugue. The soundtrack is scored, in part, for a new instrument, created specifically for this project: The Glass Chroma-Harp. Based on the Glass Armonica, a classical instrument invented by Benjamin Franklin in the 18th Century, the Chroma-Harp uses glass, water and analogue tape delay to create a unique multi-timbral sound which is in keeping with the film's disturbing fatalism. The Chroma-Harp is intonated in a colour sequence rather than with scaled notes, and the player must use intuition and improvisation in their approach.
