Does anyone know if there is a score for the movie? Or at least, if the music was not original, what it was, where it came from? I was just curious, because I have the music from the beginning of the movie where Inge's looking out across the cornfields from the train. I thought it was all very sweet, very simple stuff. :)
shareJust went to a screening with the director and someone asked about the score. It is all original music composed by Mark Orton of the band Tin Hat Trio, but apparantly it is considerably more mellow than their usual stuff. Apparantly Orton described the sound as what it would be like if Edith Piaf's back up band was born in Missoula, Montana. The string instrument that is audible throughout the score is actually a Norwegian instrument a nickelharpe (no idea if I'm spelling that even near correctly...I'm just going off what he said). Hope this helps!

It's a great score. 39 minutes of that bring the movie right back to me.
