about

This is the music I made for the film documentary "L'envers du...des corps" by my dear friend Clémentine Raphel.

I loved the process of working with a film director (who also edited it), and having my music serve something bigger. Helps a lot with making decisions faster – or making decisions at all.

Most of the music in "Libre et ancré" existed before working on the film project. The other pieces were made for the film project in Spring 2021.

The film was screened many times in Geneva and will be web-released in Autumn 2023 on this page : www.lenversdudescorps.com/le-film

I'm looking forward to be working on another soundtrack or orignal score for a film, TV series or a video game!

'Libre et ancré' was created in my daily music practice before the film project. It was an exercise where I was imitating 'Ritual' from Illum Sphere. I basically sampled the composition (I didn’t sample the master) and later got the license from the publisher of the original work, splitting the writer’s share with the original composer, Ryan Hunn.

I think I proposed a bunch of pre-made music to the film-maker and she felt in love with the piece that became Libre et ancré. Following her suggestions for the use of the music in her film, I made edits and finished the production of that piece accordingly.

So 'Libre et ancré' gave us the tempo at the beginning of the editing of the film.

All the rest of the music was written and produced explicitly for the film.

'Décor intérieur (Dreampad Theme)' uses a steel tongue drum owned by Clémentine. I played it with my fingers.

'Le corps à nu' was made for a specific vulnerable part of the film which needed an extra female energy. I first programmed the piano chords and exported it as a video – in sync with the part of the film where it plays – and sent it to Léa (Ms. Sticks) and asked her to improvise some humming over the piano, while watching the scene from the film. Not sure if she did many takes, but think I got just two files and used them both in layering. Because of the film’s theme and 100% of the characters being women, it felt important to involve a woman in the making of this music.

'Libre et ancré (Costalenvers Remix)' was made specifically to go with the final dance and end credits. I mixed together stems from Libre et ancré and Décor intérieur (Dreampad Theme). Luckily, both the kalimba and the steel tongue drum were in the same key – everything was perfect and felt effortless.

Costals Geneva, Switzerland

Sounds like Future Gainsbourg. She said to him: « you’re a force tranquille ». Costals’ unique universe elegantly merges influences ranging from hip hop to trance via electronica and IDM. Bathed in cozy atmospheres that are like caresses to the ears, his simple and refined lyrics express an honest desire for lust, the playfulness of the eternal child, and sometimes a sprinkle of stoicism. ... more
