SOUNDTRACK Instrucciones para una nueva vida

/ B.S.O.

Based on a music proposal from Luis, we conceived the movie music as two clearly differentiated blocks. On the one hand, the Watchtv and the Primetimes’s electronic music represent the cosmopolitan rhythm of the first part and reinforce the city characters’ evading feeling. Luis A. Muñoz’s piano, accordion and strings compositions provide a more classical approach, giving sense to the rural location where the second part of the movie takes place.

Luis Antonio Muñoz, piano

Celia Mateos Haro, violin 1
Mercedes dalda, violin 2
Adam Hunter, cello
Jacinto Martínez, acordeón
Hugo Enrique, voz (tango)
