Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry details debut solo film score for The Nest
Richard Reed Parry of Arcade Fire has shared details of his debut solo film score for The Nest, which stars Jude Law.
The Nest, directed by Sean Durkin, will star Jude Law, Carrie Coon and more, and is due to arrive later this month. The film tells the story of a family relocating from America to England in the 1980s.
Arcade Fire's Richard Reed Parry is behind the film soundtrack, marking his debut solo score for a film.
According to Pitchfork, the multi-instrumentalist said, "When I watched the very first rough cut of The Nest without any music, I could feel right away what I wanted the score to be: Music that sounded like it was written and played somewhere within the massive old manor house that so much of the film centers around…. I am very grateful to my fantastic musical collaborators, and for Sean Durkin’s trust in my own intuitive musical process and the artistic space and freedom he gave me to explore the musical landscape of his film."
Durkin added, "Long before Richard was the composer for the film I was listening to his Music for Heart and Breath album while writing the script, so for him to come on to the project was very exciting for me. It’s been an incredible collaboration working with him. He’s created a stunning score that captures the atmosphere and emotion I wanted the film to encompass."
