"The Body Snatchers" was an incidental music, composed in 2003 for a Zurich theatrical adaptation of Jack Finney's novel. Young students from various higher classes were acting. It had extra dream sequences, in which mimes and dancers were included. Unfortunately I had only a small budget, so the whole (conceived for strings, choir, percussion and keyboard instruments) had to be played by synthetic sounds - and I am amazed that it still sounds well today :-). I have composed some 30 different stage works and it was always great fun. Only in one production we had a live chamber group, which I conducted. In earlier times I used to write a lot of musique concrète-like electronic scores. Of "The Snatchers", of course there was no commercial release, but I had to make a lot of private copies, since the students were absolutely thrilled, they meant that my music was even better than the adpated play itself :-)

I found the re-recording for cheap, so now I'm watching the dvd. I liked the sound samples in the store (I haven't heard the cd yet). I am liking the score in the film, even if it sounds more like ballet music than a film score.
