Arcade Fire "Her"

A friend (knowing that I love Spike Jonze) sent me a link to the following video today. I was instantly gripped by the music and surprised to see indie rock band Arcade Fire working on a film score. The video shows the band working in a manner I would expect to see if they were working on a small scale project. However they are working on Spike Jonze's award winning "Her". This method of recording intrigued me and seems fairly relevant to my project aim.



After watching the video I decided to watch the film and was griped by the music from beginning to end, the music is so simple but really adds to the picture, after watching the film I discovered this was Arcade Fires first attempt at writing film score. The trailer video below shows the use of the score alongside visuals from the film.
