Oscar Fogelström Composes for Documentary “MAKE DEMOCRACY GREAT AGAIN”

Album Link: https://shorturl.at/nqtxY

Date Oct 20th 2023 - Oscar Fogelström, renowned for his evocative musical compositions, has unveiled his recent work on the score for the provocative documentary, "MAKE DEMOCRACY GREAT AGAIN". Filmed on location across the globe, from the USA and UK to South Africa and Hungary, this documentary raises the pressing question: "Will democracy survive?" At present, only 13 percent of the global population live in democracies, and the trend shows a troubling decline.

Directed by John Lundberg and produced by Ulrik Medin, the film captures a snapshot of our current world. Fogelström's scoring process, which spanned the spring and early summer of 2023, sought to complement and amplify the gravity and hopes presented in the documentary.

On his collaboration, Fogelström shared, "Working with Director John Lundberg and producer Ulrik Medin was truly rewarding. I genuinely felt their trust throughout our journey, allowing me to craft a score that truly resonates with the film's poignant message."

Aided by esteemed musicians such as Rachel Lanskey and David Bukovinszky, and Mixed by Rich Aitken, the soundtrack promises to be an auditory experience that mirrors the depth of the documentary's narrative.

ABOUT THE FILM

Based on the short story of award-winning author Andy Jones and directed by Stuart Fryer, "Bad Dreams" (2018) tells the story of a child who believed in monsters, then became one as an adult.Besides the excellent make-up effects by Pinhead's creator Cliff Wallace, horror fans must take note of the spine-chilling score as well.
"As Stuart was using the horror genre to talk about the serious issue of sexual abuse, he really wanted a straight up horror score to complement the effect", details Oscar.

Soundtrack for feature film “Aurora” by Yam Laranas. Released on MovieScore Media/Screamworks thorugh license from N10Y Records.

ABOUT THE FILM

Co-written and directed by Filipino filmmaker Yam Laranas, Aurora is supernatural drama with strong thriller elements. The story follows Leanna (Anne Curtis), who lives peacefully on an island with her younger sister Rita (Phoebe Villamor). Their life takes a turn for the worse when the eponymous passenger ship Aurora crashes near their island. The movie premiered at the Metro Manila Film Festival on December 25, 2018.

ABOUT THE SCORE

Given the fact that they had previously worked together, Oscar got on board on Aurora quite early on. In fact, the movie was tempted with his music after he sent over a couple of his own cues and demos based on the director’s brief. Though these pieces made up the foundation of the score, in terms of tempo and mood, the rewrote everything to match the new themes and instrumentation. As he recalls: “Early on we talked about writing a requiem for the (many) people that die in the fatal boat accident that is central in the films story. It was a lot of fun and a great challenge to turn that idea into a real thing, a device that I could use throughout the score. I adapted and rewrote part of the classical lyrics from the requiem mass and had it performed by a choir.”

ABOUT THE FILM

N10Y Records and MovieScore Media once again team up with Oscar Fogelström, the composer of Aurora, to present his latest collaboration with Filipino filmmaker Yam Laranas. Nightshift stars Yam Concepcion as Jessie, a young woman stuck in the morgue on her first day due to a super typhoon. Working as an assistant to pathologist Dr. Alex (Michael de Mesa), she starts to notice that the dead begin to manifest signs of resurrection. Is she hallucinating, the victim of a cruel prank by her mentor or is there something more supernatural going on?

”For this particular project we were looking to get a modern ’noir’ feel," explains Oscar about the score. ”The entire film has a sort of noir vibe, with a mystery that deepens the longer the film progresses, and gets more and more existentialist in a sense. The entire film and score is propelled forward by an unrelenting motion towards an inevitably bleak and gloomy end. The most prominent theme is the main theme which is introduced in the opening cue ‘Nightshift‘. This theme symbolises the protagonists search for the truth, and it gets more and more twisted as the mystery unfolds.”
