El Salto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Solisterrae Music, presents the soundtrack album of a new score by Goya Award-winning composer Pascal Gaigne (ERREMENTARI, HANDIA, EL FARO DE LAS ORCAS, PIEDRAS) for a new film directed by Benito Zambrano.

EL SALTO is a social drama-thriller about Ibrahim, who arrives in Spain from Guinea-Conakry, settles in Madrid and establishes a life there for himself and his family. One day he is arrested by the police and deported to his home country for lacking a residence permit. From that moment on, his only goal is to return to Spain. After traveling through Africa, he settles in a refugee camp located between Africa and Europe. There he meets Aminata, a girl determined to jump the border fence separating Morocco from North African Spanish territory. This, however, is a physical feat that not everyone can achieve.

Pascal Gaigne has written a very emotional and sensitive score. Performed by the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra under the baton of David Hernando Rico, it features different soloists acting as the inner voices of the characters – especially cello, laud (a Spanish folk cittern) and percussion.

This album represents, once again, the powerful and unique voice of Pascal Gaigne within the contemporary European film music community.
