WaterTower Music: "SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE" music by Evgueni Galperine and Sacha Galperine

WaterTower Music is proud to announce the release of the soundtrack to the HBO® Original Limited Series Scenes from a Marriage, which features music from fraternal composing duo Evgueni Galperine & Sacha Galperine (The Undoing, Loveless, Radioactive, Paterno). A modern adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's classic Swedish series of the same name Scenes from a Marriage is a five-part limited series following Mira (Jessica Chastain), an ambitious tech executive left unfulfilled by her marriage, and Jonathan (Oscar Isaac), an accommodating philosophy professor desperate to keep their relationship intact. The soundtrack is now available, and show airs on HBO and is available to stream on HBO Max. 

 

Composing brothers Evgueni and Sacha Galperine, who merged their exceptional talents to create the score, discussed their work and approach to the music for the HBO series.  "We thought that a minimalistic and repetitive approach would be the appropriate musical key to Scenes from a Marriage. It seemed to perfectly fit the idea of some everyday routine with its repetition of the same gestures and actions in which every little detail, every little change, could be of a huge importance. The score,” continued the acclaimed composing duo, “is acoustic, intimate, and employs melodies which are simple in appearance but in which we always include some little twists, some ‘out-of-the-box’ elements giving the ensemble the perfume of something unexpected."

 

In 1990, brothers Evgueni and Sacha Galperine relocated to France, from their native Russia, to complete the classical music training they’d begun in Moscow. Soon after arriving in Paris, Evgueni was drawn to composing film scores while still studying symphonic composition and electro-acoustic music at the National Conservatory (CNSM) in Paris. Sacha turned to rock and electronic music after receiving a first prize for violin performance at the Conservatory of Versailles.
 
For several years, Evgueni and Sacha have pooled their respective talents and experience to create music for cinema. Their exceptionally broad musical palette, knowledge of cinema and distinctive sound, has rapidly won the duo the notice of directors from diverse origins and genres. Examples of their work include scores for Loveless by Andrey Zvyagintsev, The Past by Asghar Farhadi, The Wizard of Lies by Barry Levinson, The Family by Luc Besson, Corpus Christi by Jan Komasa, By the Grace of God by François Ozon and Beanpole by Kantemir Balagov.
 
The Galperines have also scored a number of acclaimed TV shows and limited series including The Undoing by Susanne Bier (HBO), the French hit series Le Baron Noir by Ziad Doueri, and the recent Scenes From a Marriage by Hagai Levi (HBO).
 
2021 sees the brothers working on two of the most remarkable European films: Happening by Audrey Diwan (Golden Lion at Venice IFF) and Murina by Antoneta Alamat Kusijanovic (The Camera d’Or at Cannes IFF).
