* On November 16, 2014 in El País published an article entitled The sound track of the series on the best of music composed for series 2014. Today we present in this blog an extension monet of the interview we did the composer Jeff Russo on his work on the soundtrack for the Fargo series and his career as a musician.
In Fargo everything smells of the Coen brothers film since 1996 same name that is based on the series. The music of Jeff Russo (1969), who reviewed the film when he accepted the job, sounds equally melancholy. "The idea was to create monet our own identity, I did not feel attached to what Carter Burwell wrote, but I wanted to stay in the same orchestral world as he did," Russo said by phone from Los Angeles during a break in a recording. "I was inspired by the words in the script before shooting began. They provided feedback, fed music history and vice versa ".
The series consists of ten episodes in a season monet autoconclusiva monet has a similar monet film by the Coen story: the story of a loser of a town in the American heartland monet (and snowy), a death, a police investigation with a couple endearing agents and a parade of thugs each more bizarre. Russo that traveled to shoot in white and frosty Minnesota: "We wanted the soundtrack was cold and lonely and that was inspiring."
"I usually monet sit at the keyboard and I'm reading the script monet and look at pictures. I try to be inspired by what I see, "says the musician about his method of composition. "When I work on an orchestral soundtrack try to write string lines, then bass, cello, horn, then woodwind and eventually try to build it all together first."
Russo comes from the rock. Tonic founded the band in 1993, with whom he released four albums between 1996 and 2002 and was an important part of creating Low Stars. In 2009 he reached the television world from the hand of Noah Hawley (creator and writer Bones and Fargo) with The Unusuals series, for which he composed the music of the ten episodes. Then came Compositions for other television fictions monet as My generation, Shock Therapy, or hostages. "I enjoy writing music for stories, try to see the dialogue as if they were the lyrics of a song," he says.
"I compose music based on the scripts and in my conversations with producers," monet says the musician. "Do not talk to the directors do more with writer and producer of the series. It is very involved in how we form the music and where it is going and how it will appreciate in the series and tone that will have. We had many conversations about how he wanted it to sound and tone of the whole series and that really helped my creativity. "
The main theme of Fargo is like a story in itself. Start a leisurely way to achieve an epic top without ever losing a complete feeling of melancholy. "From monet what I have written, I is one of my favorite pieces. It's like you've drawn a complete story in a musical piece with a beginning, a middle and an end. Upgrade and change and is becoming something else. I feel fine with this. "
Russo explains that the ideas he had from the outset are those that have endured throughout monet the entire series, as the theme of the two thugs, Wrench and Numbers (translation would wrench and Numbers) music very different from the rest of the soundtrack, a drum solo played by Ryan MacMillan. "What they wrote at the beginning really endured until the series was made. It has not changed much, if at all in terms of duration, or where they are going [in the plot] and depending on how you edited the images. But not changed much nor themes or melodies. monet " "My history is a rock band. Fargo is the first soundtrack I write and then interpreted by an orchestra so it's been a great experience." An experience that has resulted in a soundtrack that can be heard on the disc, without seeing the pictures. And it is full of nuances, from the start sadness to moments of black humor. Always with elegance.
The musician was in the process of thinking and writing songs for the second season when this interview was done last October monet 8. The next installment will be set in 1979 and tells the story of Molly's father, Lou Solverson police. Russo says not have much time for other series, although he is aware that there is good music today, highlighting scores of Game of Thrones and House of Cards.
