SON—001: Albatros
Everybody has a story. Every body. This tragicomic fiction series focuses on ten obese men and women, who want to improve their lives and therefore participate in the 'Albatros' slimming camp in the Ardennes.
What we did:
music re-recording. edit/mix/master. tracklisting. PR and radioplug. distribution in collaboration with PIAS
Based on the scenario, various scenes, the psyche of the characters and what De Wereldvrede taught them about the series, director Wannes Destoop and music supervisors Mounir Hathout & Cedric Engels selected a strong complementary duo: Lennert Coorevits & Pieter Van Dessel. The soundtrack is a close collaboration with the writers, makers and the director. The music has to enforce the series, even during filming on set. A parallel interaction, in other words between image, sound and story, in order to achieve a complete and interwoven audiovisual work.
