Ghost of the Sea

Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

Director Virginia Tangvald

Music Rémi Boubal

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Born at sea, Virginia was just five when her father, the famous Norwegian adventurer Peter Tangvald, died tragically in a shipwreck. When her elder brother, Thomas, also disappeared mysteriously at sea in 2014, Virginia decided to investigate her origins, which became the documentary Ghosts of the Sea . She explores the archives and memories of those who encountered this atypical family. What she discovers is staggering: two of Peter's wives died under suspicious and potentially criminal circumstances. More questions arise. In seeking to understand where she comes from and uncover her family's dark secrets, Virginia has made a compellingly beautiful film that challenges what she believed to be true and calls into question the idyllic image of the sailor in search of absolute freedom. At the end of her courageous journey is the hope that a toxic cycle has been broken.

For The Children of the Sea, I was looking for music that does not emphasize emotion but rather traverses it. Rémi Boubal managed to find this balance by composing a score that is both delicate and expressive, capable of supporting the narrative without ever weighing it down. He was able to convey the ambivalence of the adventure at sea — both exhilarating and melancholic, luminous and unfathomable — without pushing, without illustrating. His music carries the tragic aspect of the film with great finesse, always leaving space for silence, doubt, and wandering. It evokes memory without freezing it, loss without pathos. The final theme concludes nothing, but it brings calm. It lets go. This soundtrack is for me a sensitive, underground trace of this journey.
