    Screamworks Records presents

    Thale (Raymond Enoksen & Geirmund Simonsen)

    http://moviescoremedia.com/screamworks/ … -simonsen/

    Following last year’s surprise hit from Norway, Troll Hunter, the fantasy thriller Thale combines Norwegian folklore with contemporary thriller storytelling. The film has a quickly growing fanbase and is on the verge of reaching cult status, currently being shown in festivals and getting its US release early 2013.

    Screamworks Records is proud to release the original score from the film, composed by Raymond Enoksen and Geirmund Simonsen who works out of Dreamscores Studios in Oslo. Their atmospherically rich and stylistically unique contribution to the film makes use of Norwegian folk music elements, beautiful cello, fiddle and vocal solos (sung by folk music specialist Liv Ulvik) and mesmerizing, ominous and foreboding electronic sonoroties. It is one of those scores that get under your skin with its seductive beauty and underlying elements of terror!

  2. Here's what I said about this earlier over in the Now Playing thread:

    "Released today from Mikael's Screamworks Records label, Thale is a score that I think will grow and grow with more listens (a "slow-burner"). And that's not to say that it doesn't have an immediate effect.

    This is a great little score. Prominent cello, (Norwegian?) fiddle, electronics and beautiful ethereal female vocals feature in the score that has Norwegian folk influences. It's not an out-and-out horror score but rather there's a sadness running through the score - particularly for Thale her-/it-self.

    Well worth a listen."

    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    I really like the sound and feel of this one - it was one of those instant feelings. The use of the cello, fiddle and soulful vocals gel together very well to my ears. And the subtle folk influences make it all sound more like a fairytale than a horror (I am not sure that the film itself is a true horror film).

    There is a bit of soundscape in the score but it's in keeping with the fairytale feel somehow and isn't too brash and intrusive - which would not be in keeping with the rest of the score.
