Michael Nyman - The Piano
Jane Campion's choice of Michael Nyman to produce the soundtrack for "The piano" was truly inspired for this unusual film. Set in a remote location in New Zealand, the story involves only a small number of key people. There are some eccentric local characters and an immigrant family brought from the northern hemisphere and with them their own customs and attitudes, allowing a culture clash between the uninhibited and the repressed. However it is in the personal interactions of the lead protagonists that the story unfolds and reveals a complex web of passions. When you also consider that the lead character, Ada, is mute and communicates solely through her treasured piano, it is clear that music needs to play a central role in this film.
Nyman builds complete pieces from fragments which are repeated and allowed to develop in morphing fashion. This is so appropriate for Ada's amateur folk-style compositions. This description of the minimalist philosophy might seem cold and calculating but, on the contrary, Nyman demonstrates that these methods can create works of surprising warmth and depth.
