Marlowe, Gary
Everything Will Change
Marlowe came to ""Everything Will Change"" probably by destiny. He found a synopsis snippet online, was totally fascinated by the idea to tell a politically relevant story about our time from the perspective of the future, and managed to track down the director who wrote this. When Marten Persiel and Gary Marlowe first met, they were wearing almost identical hats, and found out both are nature-loving surfers. Big smiles. Jump cut to Gary Marlowe 's own Ultra Violet Recording studio, in the middle of the Alps. Far away from the madding crowds, composer and director first went snowboarding together, and then created their musical concept for the movie. What is the sound of the future? The idea was to build a sound world based on Marlowe 's immense collection of very rare synthesizers and electric organs from the 1960ies and 70ies, to bring an analogue, strangely familiar element to the movie, shaping a world which is new, daring and futuristic, but remains warm and emotional, made by humans. This human element is part of Marlowe 's general habit to play and record everything live. Even the director was surprised to find him playing ultra-fast sequences and arpeggios by hand, which normally would be programmed in a computer. That radical move really helped to tell the story. "I like to use my own, personal flaws and imperfections, to make the audience feel that my music is played by a human being, and no machine", says the composer.
