Kattenoog, I Want to Be A Soldier & Ripley’s Game

New releases Kronos Records

In May Kronos Records will release 3 new soundtracks. The first is a soundtrack from Belgian composer Joris Hermy for a television series called Kattenoog. The second release is Frederico Jusid’s score to I Want to Be A Soldier. The third release is music by maestro Ennio Morricone, Ripley’s Game.

Kronos Records is proud to present the CD soundtrack for hit TV series KATTENOOG. Kattenoog is a little village or so we think initially, which sits on the edge of a mysterious lake. scored by Belgian talented composer Joris Hermy. The score is filled with a musical atmosphere and sound that is thrilling and heroic plus there is a menacing air of apprehension and tension which is perfect for the various scenarios and characters within the series. KATTENOOG is more of a mystery or sci-fi/horror experience and this too is reflected within the strong musical score, as it can be uneasy and anxious, then at other points becomes contemporary, melancholy and even upbeat with an edgy but melodic style.

Quoting a segment from the director Douglas Boswell's note, 'For a series like this you need a crew you can rely on and for the music I couldn’t be happier than with Joris Hermy, a young composer with whom I’ve been wanting to work for years.'

It is a great pleasure for us to release this CD and promote this young and very talented composer!
The CD is strictly limited to 300 Copies and will make a great addition to your collection! Pre-order now!

Kronos Records is proud to present the CD soundtrack for Christian Molina's I WANT TO BE A SOLDIER from 2010. It is our first CD with rising star composer FEDERICO JUSID, who we greet to our list of prestigious artists already released by KRONOS RECORDS.

I WANT TO BE A SOLDIER was the fourth feature film directed by film maker Christian Molina, the film tells the story of eight year old Alex, who seems to become almost obsessed by violent images, he begins to develop communication difficulties with his parents at first after his Mother gives birth to two babies, at first he seems happy to assume the role of the older brother, but soon his outlook changes and he also becomes increasingly detached from the other children who attend his school, he basically hounds his Mother and Father into getting him a Television for his room and then shuts himself away watching violent programmes and becoming more and more caught up with the scenes of violence from all over the world that he is able to see.

He then begins to become increasingly secretive and closes in upon himself and develops a friendship with two imaginary characters one an astronaut the other a cruel sergeant called John Cluster who advises Alex on how he can be a better soldier. The quiet eight year old who dreamed of becoming an astronaut one day has changed into someone who wants to be a soldier and go and fight and destroy the enemies of his country. Federico Jusid’s score underlines perfectly the changes that Alex is going through, it supports, punctuates and enhances wonderfully the storyline without being overpowering and gives the film and its storyline soul and a greater emotional depth.

The CD is strictly limited to 300 Copies and will make a great addition to your collection! Pre-order now!

Kronos Records is immensely proud to present the CD soundtrack for Liliana Cavani's 2002 film RIPLEY'S GAME, starring John Malkovich, Lena Headey and Chiara Caselli and featuring a haunting score by none less than legendary Maestro ENNIO MORRICONE!

By the time Ennio Morricone came to score RIPLEY’S GAME in 2002 he was a seasoned film music composer who had already written hundreds of scores for varying genres of motion pictures. The movie was based on the third book in trilogy of novels entitled RIPLIAD, written by Patricia Highsmith. The movie is a captivating one and has an intelligent and consuming storyline, directed by filmmaker and screenwriter Liliana Cavani (GALILEO, THE YEAR OF THE CANNIBALS, THE NIGHT PORTER, LA PELLE etc) it is a must see motion picture and stands up well to the test of time and one which I believe has matured and grown even more interesting with the passing of the years rivalling many of the more recent thrillers that have been released. The musical score incorporates harpsichord performances at certain points within its duration, the composer utilising the instrument to accompany the film’s central figure, it is also a score that is filled with drama and tension, the Maestro masterfully building the atmosphere throughout via his use of strings, brass, electric guitar, woodwind, piano, percussive elements and aforementioned harpsichord which are subtly enhanced by a sprinkling of electronic effects that fuse seamlessly with the conventional instruments of the orchestra to create a score that oozes tension and apprehension but also has at its core highly thematic and melodic material.

As with any soundtrack penned by Morricone one is aware almost immediately that we are listening to the supremely innovative work of Il Maestro, a Master of his craft. There is that sound, that style and that individuality present that just says Ennio Morricone. The score features Morricone’s regular collaborator/performer Gilda Butta on piano and harpsichord, with the composer writing extensively for saxophone and also flicorno performed by Gianni Oddi and Cicci Santucci respectively, both instruments feature throughout the soundtrack and make lasting impressions upon the listener, creating either a mood of melancholy or indeed an apprehensive and threatening atmosphere.

The CD is strictly limited to 500 Copies and is guaranteed to disappear very fast! Pre-order now or regret it later!
