La Panthère Des Neiges

New striking strokes

15 December 2021

Last summer NICK CAVE and Bad Seed buddy WARREN ELLIS bewitched
me with one of this year’s best LPs with the astonishing CARNAGE album.

And they’re not done yet. The duo releases the soundtrack they wrote for
the French nature documentary La Panthère Des Neiges (The Snow Leopard)
on 17 December.

Warren Ellis about the making of: “The film deserved to have its own musical voice.
I booked five days and asked Nick if he could come in for a day to write a theme song
and play some piano. He saw the film and stayed for four days. In the end we made
what I think is one of the most beautiful films we have ever worked on. The stars are
the animals in all their wild glory, as we have never seen them before, and man
in reverence and wonder.”

The trailer…

Last month we got a first song, the beatific piano ballad We Are Not Alone
and here’s another magnific piece called Les Cerfs (The Deer).

Productive Tandem NICK CAVE & WARREN ELLIS Are Not Alone

Daily electricity to load your batteries

23 November 2021

Last June mega-star-crooner NICK CAVE and Bad Seed and close friend WARREN ELLIS signed for one of the best longplayers of 2021 with the astonishing CARNAGE album.

And they’re not done yet. The duo releases the soundtrack they wrote for the French nature documentary La Panthère Des Neiges (The Snow Leopard) on 17 December.

They just shared a taster – a full song – called WE ARE NOT ALONE.

Warren Ellis about the making of: “There is something about the heart of this film that draws you in. I realised after a day, that I wanted to do whatever it took to compose an entire original score. The film deserved to have its own musical voice. I booked five days and asked Nick if he could come in for a day to write a theme song and play some piano. He saw the film and stayed for four days. In the end we made what I think is one of the most beautiful films we have ever worked on. One of my favorite experiences ever working on a project. The stars are the animals in all their wild glory, as we have never seen them before, and man in reverence and wonder.”

Watch the beauty, hear the beauty…
