This week a new Dutch movie had its premiere, called Koning van Katoren. The movie is based on a book by Jan Terlouw, that became very popular after it’s first release, and now there is also this movie with Mingus Dagelet and Abbey Hoes.
The score of the film is written by Bart Westerlaken, who chose to use different spheres for different parts of the movie. And one of them was bigband-style. So a couple of weeks ago we went into the studio with Bart and the Konrad Koselleck Bigband to record a part of the filmscore, and since the 1st of December the results are to be heard in the movietheaters all over Holland. The music turned out great, from energy bigband swing to cinematic effects – it’s all there. There’s even a scene accompanied by a drumsolo..
