Composer Hildur Guðnadóttir lets go of her anger and finds hope for 'Women Talking,; and keeps the 'Tar' actors on their toes with 'tempo mapping'
It’s nearly impossible to hear the score in “Tar” — but that’s by design. In a story about an elite classical conductor, who is constantly wielding a symphony orchestra, a traditional score “would just be too cluttered,” says composer Hildur Guðnadóttir — “cream on top of cream.”
Her first task was composing a piece of music that Blanchett’s character is tinkering with throughout the movie.“Since this is a film about the process of making music, we never hear the finished version,” Guðnadóttir says. “When you’re writing music, you are hearing it internally — you hear it inside yourself before it starts moving air.
The actors listened to their “tempo mapping” music on set, and all of this unheard-but-felt music Guðnadóttir wrote before shooting inspired her approach to scoring the film in post-production. In fact, there’s about 40 minutes of score used in Tár — it’s simply subsonic, creating a sense of anxiety or dread that is subliminally felt in sympathy with Lydia Tár, for whom a noose is tightening.
Guðnadóttir came up with a folk-like theme that ambles on a country road of guitars and acoustic bass. She chose instruments that suited the rural world of the characters, and played cello with her longtime friend and collaborator, Skúli Sverrisson.
