Composition History
This album is the original soundtrack to the 2014 horror film "Goodnight Mommy" (original title: "Ich seh Ich seh"), directed by Veronika Franz and Severin Fiala.
Composer Biography
Olga Neuwirth, born in 1968, is an acclaimed composer whose interests span film, literature, science, architecture, and visual arts, often integrating electronics and video into her works.
Recording & Production
The directors of "Goodnight Mommy" remixed Olga Neuwirth's original score, omitting some tracks and the music for the final credits, making the cinema version's music less prominent.
Performer Biography
The Vienna Glass Armonica Duo, consisting of Christa and Gerald Schönfeldinger, are among the world's leading performers on both glass armonica and the verrophon, an instrument developed by Sascha Reckert.
Instruments
A fragment of Franz Schubert's Psalm 23 was selected by Olga Neuwirth and arranged for glass armonica by Gerald Schönfeldinger, performed by the Vienna Glass Armonica Duo.
Compositional Technique
Olga Neuwirth's score for "Goodnight Mommy" meticulously combines low-frequency electroacoustic textures, high-frequency glass-like motifs, electronically manipulated boys' voices, and the sound of an old piano.
Compositional Technique
The soundtrack incorporates three pre-existing musical quotes: two lullabies ("Guten Abend, gut' Nacht" and "Weißt du wie viel Sternlein stehen?") and a fragment of Franz Schubert's Psalm 23.
