Director’s Note on the Film Music
The work on the film score started long
before shooting. Thanks to Terrence Malick, I had the chance of meeting Hanan Townshend. From the start, a
collaboration with him seemed very stimulating. I wanted to combine synthetic
sounds with the concrete sounds of wind instruments, recorded in such a way
that the material component of the instruments emerges. I felt that the two
levels, sometimes with the addition of string instruments, successfully reflect
the two dimensions of the film: contemporary and the 1700s. Just like the
protagonists sum up the characters in the present and past, the music of the
past and future become one. Hanan and Federico Pascucci, along with the wind
ensemble of Errichetta Underground, have made my dream a reality. I couldn’t
have wished for anything better.

Composer’s Note
The score for The Book of Vision comes from
a fruitful composer-director collaboration. Working with various pre-recorded
pieces and improvisations from Errichetta Underground, director Carlo
Hintermann and I created a collage-like score that weaves through different
worlds of the film. The score is built around the saxophone, often riffing off
inspiring classical pieces from the likes of Brahms and Liszt. Compositionally,
the original work is an extension of this world, blending clarinet, saxophone
ensemble and strings to enhance the mystical, woody soundscape. Federico
Pascucci’s additions to the score rounds out the soundtrack and brings a lovely
romantic heartbeat. A very unique collaboration for a unique film.
