style

Ulvers soundtrack is orchestral and alternates between calm and bombastic passages. In addition to the strings, there are occasional winds, piano, guitars and electronic effects. In places there are echoes of ambient or jazz . Apart from two pieces with screams and a monologue, the album is instrumental. The atmosphere is gloomy and threatening.

reception

"The gloomy film music by Ulver, which alternates between aggressiveness and melancholy, can also convince without pictures."

- Siggy Zielinski : Baby blue pages

"Multifaceted, exciting, composed with skill and vision."
