LRC歌词
Max Richter embarks on many scoring projects - most prominently, his music for the award-winning Israeli film Waltz with Bashir - and it’s easy to hear why: albums such as The Blue Notebooks and Memoryhouse feel like, as the cliché about instrumental music goes, soundtracks for films that haven’t been made yet (though a piece from The Blue Notebooks was even used in the soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island). Like Bashir, an animated documentary about the 1982 Lebanon war, Infra is another high-concept project, a ballet inspired by T.S. Eliot's classic poem of yearning and regret, The Waste Land. In turn, Richter's score, which was originally 25 minutes but is expanded to 32 here, was influenced by Schubert's Winterreise. Even in its longer form, many of Infra's pieces are brief, recalling the brilliant miniatures of Richter's ringtone album 24 Postcards in Full Colour. Infra's palette is classic Richter, blending piano, brass, and a string quartet with electronic textures that span luminous washes to ghostly static that lends an alien quality, almost as if the listener is tuning into the score’s frequencies. Like The Waste Land, this music is subtle, its open-ended glimpses adding to its poignancy.
