Pigalle, la Nuit - 09/10 - Recensie van John Mansell, ingevoerd op (Engels)


Eric Demarsan is a composer that up till a few years ago I did not really know a great deal about, nor had I heard any of his scores in their entirety, just themes here and there on compilations etc. This was remedied by Universal Music in France who released some of his scores and also a handful of other labels that issued his soundtracks. Demarsan is I suppose is one of those composes that works steadily in film and creates many wonderful scores, but for some reason does not enter the limelight or gather many followers in the film music collecting fraternity. This is a tragedy as I think if collectors were to buy just one Demarsan score then they, like I was would become hooked on his somewhat subdued or sparse sounding soundtracks and crave more and more. Why not then, begin your Demarsan collection with this appealing and entertaining compact disc from Music Box records. Pigalle LA Nuit, is not a film score but music from a television series, but it is in effect film music or music for the moving image, I emphasize this point because I am aware that there is a certain amount of snobbery where film music collectors and TV music is concerned, but why ? There are some great TV scores out there, and this is certainly one of them. Once you have listened to this soundtrack I guarantee you will be returning to the beginning of the disc to listen to it all over again and likewise will be searching online or elsewhere for more of Demarsan. Although Demarsan posses a style and a sound that is most certainly innovative and all of his own, there is always an underlying sound that shines through each and every score making it attractive and interesting. I suppose one could liken his music to Lai or maybe Magne in places but saying this Demarsan has the ability to create affecting, inventive and haunting themes that are understated within the context of each project that he works upon, these themes or musical passages that he pens have a magical and profound way of working to serve the picture and also stand alone and remain interesting and entertaining when played away from the images on screen. Demarsan is a talented composer who has a gift when it comes to creating discreet but effectual music. PIGALLE LA NUIT is an earthy and realistic looking series and Demarsan reflects this or at least compliments this atmosphere with his at times sombre and at times slight sounding score. Thomas (Jalil Lespert) who is a Frenchman living in London, travels to Paris to discuss a business venture for his company. One night he goes to a club called, 'Folies Pigalle' where on stage he sees his sister performing.
Thomas attempts to speak to her but she disappears, thus this is how this intriguing and addictive television series of eight episodes begins. The storyline makes effective use of Pigalle, which is the seedy or most nocturnally active area of Paris and is filled with numerous twists and turns that cover revenge and redemption, making this a real nail biting suspense filled drama. The actors involved on the series make their characters convincing and believable and the atmosphere of the entire storyline and series is also helped by the use of camera shots which are for the most part hand-held, giving the film a more gritty down to earth ambience. Demarsan’s score enhances and embellishes perfectly this series, I love the atmospheres he conjures with the use of strings and also the inclusion of vibes and piano, plus there are some nice saxophone solos that pop up every so often throughout the work, which convey a tone which is romantic and somewhat steamy. It can be a score that in places sounds apprehensive, but even within the suspense and edgy atmospherics the listener will still be able to find hints of melodies and fragments of themes that are enticing, attractive and haunting. Music Box records should be congratulated on releasing this score and have done a great job of the presentation and packaging. More Demarsan please.
