Chauveau, Sylvain “Nuage” [Type]

Music written for the Sebastian Betbeder’s films Nuage and Andrea’s Hands, spread over 20 short tracks.

The music is uncomplicated: stark noodlings on the piano, occassionally accompanied by slowly drawn out strings. The whole affair has the non-urgency of Satie’s music.

Rainy day music if ever such a thing existed.

And if you were to ask for a disparaging idea of what the films may be about? Picture a Wes Anderson flick with all the quirk removed and all that remains is a messed up family and a suicidal Wilson brother.
