Product Description

Music Composed by Johan Söderqvist

Perseverance Records teams up with Johan Söderqvist to release his score for the historical epic Amundsen. A true hero of Norway, Roald Amundsen is best-remembered for his incredible achievement of reaching the South Pole in 1911. Directed by Espen Sandberg, Amundsen stars Pål Sverre Hagen as the arctic explorer who is caught in a race to reach both the North and the South Pole and also becomes an early pioneer of flying over the Arctic scene - with tragic results...

Johan Söderqvist is one of the busiest and most successful Scandinavian composers. He has collaborated on a regular basis with Danish director Susanne Bier for whom he scored Brothers (2004) the Oscar-nominated After the Wedding (2006), the Oscar-winning In a Better World (2010) and the romantic comedy Love Is All You Need (2012). His other credits include the Oscar-nominated Kon-Tiki (2014), the British/American horror The Limehouse Golem (2016) and the cult classic vampire film Let the Right One In (2008).

    [Perseverance Records] has released the soundtrack to Norway’s historical epic AMUNDSEN, which tells the story of the Norwegian polar explorer. “The director Espen Sandberg had a vision for the music – to create a whole new aural world for the South Pole, a place that was as unknown to the people at that time as Mars or Jupiter,” said Söderqvist. “We wanted it to feel like we’re arriving to a whole new world, a new universe. We recorded many different crazy things but in the end we really liked the sound of Indian native flutes being blown (or more like screamed into) through a wonderful new Russian electronic voice/breath processor called “The Pipe.” Together with heavily distorted ambiences & drums, this became the signature sound of the film.” The score is thoroughly compelling, evoking the hostility of the environment in a fresh and invigorating manner, with ringing sonorities and long, sustained tonalities. Söderqvist conveys a depth of tension throughout the score, bringing to life the dangerous expeditions Amundsen undertook, celebrating his triumphs in a glorious melodic upsurge in “He’s Alive,” mourning his death (while participating in a rescue mission for the airship Italia in 1928, an incident dramatized in 1969’s THE RED TENT) in “He’s Dead,” and honoring his legacy in “Epilogue – Dream of the North Pole.”
