THE RED TURTLE (LA TORTUE ROUGE)
Music Composed by Laurent Perez Del Mar
Release date: 06/24/2016



Quartet Records, in collaboration with Idol, Why Not Productions, Wild Bunch and Studio Ghibli, is proud to present the tender, surprising score composed by Laurent Perez Del Mar (Evolution Man, Antigang, Zarafa) for an impressive 2016 French-Japanese animated film directed by Michael Dudok De Wit in his feature film debut.

The Red Turtle (La tortue rouge) tells the story of a man who tries to escape from a deserted island and battles a giant turtle. The film, which has no dialogue, follows the major life stages of a castaway on a deserted tropical island populated by turtles, crabs and birds.

In the absence of dialogue, Perez Del Mar’s music is naturally the most important “voice” in the film. It is performed by the Macedonian Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Oleg Kontradenko.
The film has been awarded the Special Jury Prize in the Cannes Film Festival of 2016.

I saw this film in Cannes. Excellent film and gorgeous score. As I said elsewhere, I'm glad it's getting a soundtrack release. This is one of my favourite scores of the year; check it out!

What's the problem with the packaging, Lokutus? I only have a digital release.

It's that sort of digipack that has no protection of the disc... just all paper with a slipcase... fortunately it has at least three pages so the CD doesn't keep falling out... but still... digipacks are completely stupid idea to begin with... this goes even further.

I didn't realise Quartet still messed around with silly packaging... I thought they had standardised to jewel cases for everything these days.

That's not a kind of fancy packaging, it's a digisleeve, very popular in a lot of pop and rock CDs, or the soundtracks of PT Anderson films, among others.

For us it is much easier and CHEAPER to release normal jewel case, but sometimes film producers impose their conditions for their movies and its physical CDs. Anyway, you always have the digital download option.

I have nothing against digi packs or sleeves if there requested that's what it is. only silly if people can't look after them proper more carefully. digi editions need to be put aside from others maybe glassed off to keep them in top speck that's what I do.

I like these digipacks and paper sleeves a lot (not a fan of jewel cases). They are usually slimmer, so they save space on the shelve. I love that recent Pascal Gaigne package for El Olivo. Beautiful!

Having said that, I sometimes don't like a certain CD sleeve design and so I make my own. And then jewel cases are much easier to simply insert something over the badf design.

THE MUSIC PLEASE. I am thoroughly enjoying this score. Another blind buy winner! Makes me want to see the film.

The music is gorgeous, one of my favourites of the year (as is the film, incidentally). Think Delerue combined with Hisaishi, with great choral writing, emotionally immediate themes and tons of lyricism. Almost too much at times; it's lacking in dissonance.

Anyone know if this score is likely to turn up on Spotify?

I've been enjoying his other scores on Spotify after hearing about this one, and would love to check this one out the same way before buying the CD.

It is already available for quite a long time on Belgian Spotify (under the French title 'La Tortue Rouge').
