LE HORLA

(Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Director Marion Desseigne-Ravel

Music by Alexandre Lessertisseur

Label Plaza Mayor Company Ltd

Damien and Nadia, in their thirties, are leaving Paris with Chloé, their 8 year old daughter, to settle in the French provinces. Damien is a graphic designer who negotiated a full-time remote working to follow his partner, who has just been offered a position at the Institut de Recherche Rivière, where she would work with her friend Marion. The couple is also expecting a child. But behind this new beginning lies a deafening threat that will soon shatter the happiness of this seemingly perfect family. Loosely based on Guy de Maupassant’s best-seller, The Horla.

From the first discussions with Marion Desseigne Ravel, the director, it was clear that we wanted atonal music. As the main subject is the slide towards madness, it was necessary that the music could hardly be heard at first, but that this rhyme was put in place, repeated and developed the more the hero sank into this madness. And as everything starts following the move of this normal, almost banal family, at the top of a tower, we went on the variations around the sounds of the wind on the balcony. The sounds of the wind led us to the use of wind instruments but played in an aleatoric way (randomly) and often atonal, bringing out the sounds of key for example. Some kind of theme or motif stood out.
