Writing the score for Pascal Laugier’s Martyrs was such an intense and extreme experience that I don’t know where or how to start.
We got the gig very late in the process of making the movie. We were hired as a replacement: some ‘high profile’ musician had fled when confronted to the task ahead I guess. More seriously, composing the soundtrack turned out to be a painful process indeed.
The combination of stress, lack of time, lack of sleep, lack of natural light and fresh air, extremely long hours (on our last day we worked 35 hours in a row with small 15-minute naps every once in a while) and the darkness of the movie itself put us in a kind of altered state. Some sort of daze where reality would sometimes fade into something very strange, hard to describe beyond that. To the point where I personally started thinking that Pascal was performing some kind of mental torture on us so we would at last be able to identify with the characters of the story and thus create music that would seem to be oozing from the images themselves…
We felt like martyrs, literally.
I have never told this to Pascal actually, and I don’t really think he was playing with our minds either because he’s way too honest to do this. If anything I have to thank him for this experience because in the end, some of the songs created for Martyrs, I feel will stay with me for a long, long time. They mean something, to me, personally.
Some people have asked us what our musical influences for this particular work were. I don’t really want to deconstruct the creative process and put names on what is essentially unconscious and instinctive. For sure a lot of artists have participated in giving some shape and form to the mental magma that in the end crystallized into music pieces and songs.
We had talked a lot with Pascal about the characters’ feelings, the tragedy in the story, the melancholy and most importantly the love story upon which rests the whole movie. That’s mainly what we concentrated on. Then there was the general conviction that we should go for a sound that would induce some sort of nostalgia, which was also very interesting because we usually have a quite futuristic sound, very dark and cold. This time we had to put some of the more modern aspects of our sound aside, reinvent ourselves as a musical entity while retaining what makes our sound interesting and personal.
Overall, working with Pascal on Martyrs was a very enriching experience, a roller coaster ride into hell and heaven. I sincerely hope that is what we will make you ‘feel’.

Martyrs (2008)
Ein kleines Mädchen wird von den französischen Behörden aufgegriffen - lethargisch, halbnackt und verwundet streift sie durch die Straßen Frankreichs. Sie erfahren, dass sie eben ihren Peinigern entkommen ist, die sie über Jahre hinweg gefangen gehalten und gefoltert haben. Auch in dem Waisenheim, in dem sie untergebracht wird, entkommt sie ihrem Trauma in Form eines entstalteten Dämons nicht.
Der Dämon verfolgt sie bis ins Erwachsenenalter. Dem Wahnsinn verfallen findet sie ihre ehemaligen Peiniger aus, die ein friedliches und ungestörtes Familienleben in einem schönen Haus führen. Mit einer Schrotflinte bewaffnet löscht sie jedes einzelne der vier Familienmitglieder aus. Mit den blutigen Überresten ihrer Opfer beschmutzt ruft sie ihre Freundin an, die ihr anschließend beim Entfernen der Leichen hilft.
Ihnen ist jedoch nicht bewusst, dass die Tat nicht unbeobachtet geblieben ist und die Peiniger zurückschlagen.
(10/10)

SEPPUKU PARADIGM – I am Cronos (WELCOME TO HOXFORD Fan Film OST)
This song really worked well at the end of the short film Welcome To Hoxford: The Fan Film.

WELCOME TO HOXFORD – THE FAN FILM
It is a shame that the short film was not longer and that this song did not get to play in full as a final action scene happened or something.

There was no time to age
It was tough from the start
But you're holding my hand
We're all that we have
I cry when you bleed
And I bleed when you cry
I don't wanna lie
I love what you are
I would do anything
Give you everything
I've seen where you've been in your eyes
Your bruises and cuts
They're ghosts from the past
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
The pain will go away and I slowly realise
I miss you so deeply, I wanna be where you are
I will do anything, give up everything
I've seen through this hell in your eyes,
Live 'til the day that you die ...

Unrequited: songs for Obito and Rin [fanmix]
I made this playlist a few years back, before Spotify. This is available on Spotify now! I miss Naruto and I’m trying to write fic again. I can’t find the song “Your Witness” by Seppuku Paradigm on Spotify, I first heard it on the credits of the French film Martyrs.
Listen on Spotify
a new tattoo - urbandub
Desperately trying to speak the words / I've been wanting to say for a long time / Tongue tied, every time I try to talk to you / In time, I'll find the right lines
worry about you - ivy
Bye bye baby / Don't be long / I'll worry about you while you're gone. I'll think of you in my dreams / You'll never know just what you mean to me...
sleeping with ghosts - placebo
Soul mate dry your eye / Cause soul mates never die / This one world vision / Turns us in to compromise / What good's religion / When it's each other we despise / Damn the government / Damn the killing / Damn the lies
seize the day - avenged sevenfold
I found you here, now please just stay for a while / I can move on with you around / I hand you my mortal life, but will it be forever? / I'd do anything for a smile / Holding you 'til our time is done / We both know the day will come / But I don't want to leave you
small hands - keaton henson
And I, I hope for your life / You forget about mine
wild horses - the sundays
I watched you suffer a dull aching pain / Now you've decided to show me the same / No sweeping exit or offstage lines / Could make me feel bitter or treat you unkind
song to the siren - john frusciante
Did I dream you dreamed about me?
endless a silent whisper - urbandub
Embrace so much tighter / This could be our last together / Heaven sheds tears for the wounded hearts / Our forever has been torn apart
your witness - seppuku paradigm*
Your bruises and cuts / They're ghosts from the past / There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide / The pain will go away and I slowly realise / I miss you so deeply, I wanna be where you are
*not in the Spotify playlist, I can’t find it there but you can listen to the youtube link. enjoy!
