It is often said that life is a play, but it can also be a movie scene. To be alongside Evgueni Galperine is to experience a film, a political drama, a black comedy, an urban or electro atmosphere. A score is usually sumptuously dark.
It is also the primary job of our guest, who composes film music for the greatest French and American directors (Hazanivicius, Besson, Lartigau, Barry Levinson and Barry Sonenfeld). Listening to Theory of becoming his first personal album which appears on the very select ECM label, we feel that the cinema has forged his language as a musician, he tells the world as it goes, that is to say: badly. I would even say that his music is a presentiment. Inevitably, that’s what we say to ourselves, when the backstage of its history reminds us of the origins ofYevgeny Galperine: Russian by her mother, Ukrainian by her father.
