OK, we got the award for Best Original Score at the Paris Film Festival, for all the music in The Blinding Sea. The award is in my name, given that I composed/performed about half of the score, and directed the rest.
This is the 13th festival award for the film so far, and the 2nd in Europe.
Thanks to all the musicians who joined me on this production:
Vocal music composed and performed by Marie Frenette
Inuit throat singers: Janet Aglukkaq and Robin Ikkutisluk
Trumpet: David Carbonneau
Saxophone and clarinet: Cameron Wallis
Irish whistle: Brad Hurley
Violin and viola: Catherine Hallmich and Laura Risk
Guitars: Pascal Desmeules and Marc Harvey
Percussion: Gilles Hébert
Choral ensemble 6-DS
It was a tremendous experience working with you all!
