JOHAN SÖDERQVIST

it did have a castaway feeling, but I always love / or am scared by the use of sharks, so I was intrigued by the second part

I'm interviewing Söderqvist live in Oslo when he comes here for the premiere of KON-TIKI in a few days.

Unfortunately for most of you, it will be a sound interview, and it will be in Norwegian/Swedish. But I'll see if I can get some bits translated eventually.

So envious! Please send him my greetings!

Cannot wait ! Did you remember to send him my greetings? The other day I was taking to him via Facebook and in the recent past he was kind enough to send me a bunch of his scores on his own

He is a great guy, love his work. Him, the spanish guys and Kantelinen are some of my favorite composers.

I can promise you that you ALL will love it. So haunting and beautiful, also with brilliant action writing.

And here's the interview, for those of you who understand Norwegian & Swedish:

Any chance of a soundtrack release Thor?

Maybe eventually, I'll transcribe/translate it.

Maybe run it through Google Translate in the interim?

Here's the intro I wrote, translated by Google:

"With the exception of a discussion about freedom of historical adaptations, the Kon-Tiki received very good reviews in the Norwegian newspapers, both for its visual expression and its adventurous story-telling. There have, however, have pointed out, it is important musical contribution. We will remedy any of it, and took us therefore Samal with composer Johan Söderqvist.

Söderqvist has recently grown to be one of Sweden and Scandinavia's most sought-after film composers. In addition, he enjoyed great recognition, particularly the music of Tomas Alfredson beautiful epic Song the wheel, the (2008). He has been Susanne Biers regular partner ever since her debut Freud moves hemifrån ... (1991), and the next year, their tenth project together - the US-manufactured Serena with Jennifer Lawrence and Bradley Cooper in the lead roles. In Norway he has written music for films such as The Invisible (2008), Limbo (2010) and King of Bastøy (2010). And now that is Kon-Tiki.

Personally I followed him with vigilant ears for several years. The unique instrumentation, the piercing melancholy, caressing the melodies - he can never quite stepping completely wrong. Kon-Tiki joins really just one of a series of such emotionally charged scores. The morning after the star-premiere party at the Opera, I sat down with Söderqvist for a half-hour informal discussion about such Bier cooperation, Song on the wheel, in, the Norwegian films and of course, some aspects related to the Kon-Tiki, including challenges to replace another composer. Did you know that the air horn theme is performed on a conch?

Good listening!"

SONG THE WHEEL, THE you mean?

Vigilant ears. Now that's expressive!
