Press Release from Quartet:
Quartet Records present the soundtrack album of Martin Scorsese’s production ESCAPE, the new collaboration between Victor Reyes (Emmy Award winner for the score of THE NIGHT MANAGER) and multi-awarded director Rodrigo Cortés, following their previous successful films together: THE CONTESTANT, BURIED, RED LIGHTS, DOWN A DARK HALL and LOVE GETS A ROOM.
ESCAPE is an unclassifiable film. It’s not a comedy, it’s not a drama, it’s not an action film, but it’s all of them at the same time, or maybe not. It’s about a young man who wants to live in prison and will do whatever it takes to get there, raising questions such as whether those who care about him will be able to stop him from committing more and more serious crimes.
Victor Reyes also provides an unusual, unclassifiable score—highly melodic, urban, intimate, acoustic. It is performed basically with school and toy instruments (to which he adds the sound of a cello that speaks as the protagonist) along with strings, harmonium, guitar, drums, percussion and piano.
The CD comes with a lavish 16-page booklet that includes liner notes by film director Rodrigo Cortés.
