Music for movies:
 

The man in the boat # 1 - 2 - 3
Film and music starts with the lyrical theme, played by the piano and strings. If your imagination creates beautiful lakeview, chuckling water and stunning countryside, you're not all wrong. But the low timpany at the end of the piece indicates something to happen.


The Man in the Boat # 2
The situation developes: the boat is persued by a helicopter. There is no way to escape except to flee - but the chopper is very persistent.


The Man in the Boat # 3
Denger is over and we get a hint of a happy ending.

Frostbite: The Coffin  3:38
The deep strings of the beginning more than suggest the atmosphere of scary creatures and the music soon developes into a percussive beat, bringing these creatures back, where they belong – in the coffin. The piece ends in a romantic folkloristic theme.Recorded in Bratislava nov.18th,2005. Music: Anthony Lledo, conductor: Allan Wilson. Orchestrations: Torben Kjær & Orchestrators.com
