Overview

The Artist (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is the soundtrack album to the 2011 French comedy-drama film of the same name directed by Michel Hazanavicius, and stars Jean Dujardin and Bérénice Bejo in the lead. The film features original score composed by Ludovic Bource, Michel's norm collaborator, and the album consists of 24 tracks of Bource's score, which also incorporates works from other composers such as Alberto Ginastera's "Estancia". Bource recorded the score in April 2011 in collaboration with the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra and Brussels Jazz Orchestra in Belgium. Most of the score was written when the film was under post-production, so that the composer and editor can create the score of their choice. As it was a silent film and the story takes place during the silent era of Hollywood (between 1927 and 1932), Michel and Bource studied about the methods of the filming of the popular directors during that era, and influenced yesteryear compositions in the late-19th and early-20th centuries, to work on the score. The score album was released in France on 10 October 2011 and in the United Kingdom and United States on 21 October, distributed by Sony Classical Records. The album and Bource's score was positively received, with praise directing on the compositions and orchestrations, reflecting the time period. It topped the Billboard Top Soundtracks charts in the United States, and various other chart listings. The soundtrack won several awards, including Academy, Golden Globe, BAFTA and Critics' Choice awards for "Best Original Score" to Bource, in addition to various awards and nominations in that category in other ceremonies. Composition The original score is composed by French film composer Ludovic Bource, who has been a regular collaborator of director Michel Hazanavicius, since Mes amis (1999), OSS 117: Cairo, Nest of Spies (2006) and OSS 117: Lost in Rio (2009). Most of the score was written in the editing and post-production stage, as for music playing a bigger part than normal in the story, it required numerous adjustments. Bource said that "We really couldn't afford any misinterpretation, any contradictory directions. Therefore we had to reduce certain pieces according to the editing, throw lots of them away, and write new ones, adapt them, following each step of the film that was being made. Michel and I didn't stop fine-tuning, refining."
