The latest film from prolific director Yam Laranas premiers on April 30th 2021.
Soundtrack out on April 16th on Moviescore Media.
Following Aurora and Nighthift, MovieScore Media once again teams up with director Yam Laranas and composer Oscar Fogelström on the release of the score for their latest collaboration, Death of a Girlfriend. The film tells the story of Alonzo (Diego Loyzaga) and
Christine (AJ Raval) who fall in love with each other during their walks in a forest. However, the appearance of an elderly farmer and an obsessed warden lead to a tragedy with a Rashomon-inspired investigation as each participant has his own version to explain what happened to Christine in the woods...
“As usual, working with director Yam Laranas on this pshycological drama was a wonderful experience,” explainscomposerOscarFogelström.“Thistime,hemadethespecificrequest of basing the main theme on Solveig’s Song from Edward Grieg’s Peer Gynt as the topics of losing a loved one and keeping her memory seemed like a natural match for this story. The score also features an intercontinental collaboration between three continents - while the movie was produced in the Philippines, I scored and recorded the live strings, the bassoon and the oboe solos with Bylund Strings in Sweden. However, the Chinese insrument called hulusi (which is a gourd flute) was recorded by George Shaw in Los Angeles so that I could incorporate this most unusual sound into the farmer’s theme."
