FRENCH FILM VERSION OF THE BESTSELLING NOVEL BY MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ FEATURES ECLECTIC SCORE BY GERMAN COMPOSER MATHIS B. NITSCHKE

ORCHESTRAL SCORE PERFORMED BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC COUPLED WITH SONGS, INCLUDING ‘TANZE!’ WITH LYRICS BY MICHEL HOUELLEBECQ

Famous author Michel Houellebecq directed the film version of his novel La Possibilité d’une île last year and hired German composer Mathis B. Nitschke to write the strikingly original score. Nitschke has written numerous scores for the stage as well as concert works, and his score for Possibility of an Island showcases a composer with a style of his own, channeled through different settings in the score: Possibility of an Island is an orchestral score with several epic elements, such as a big fanfare and big romantic statements where the orchestra is joined by choir, but it also features many intimate moments with solos for viola and piano, and a quirky electronic waltz.
