Various Artists - Project Nim Soundtrack - Soundtracks - CD

Original soundtrack to the 2011 motion picture. Project Nim is the follow up to director James Marsh's Oscar-winning film Man on Wire. Mirroring the principles and techniques of a traditional film biography to the life story of an animal, we watch a baby chimpanzee named Nim lead a most unconventional existence. Bolstering the prime archival footage and contemporary interviews is a newly composed and original score by Tindersticks founding member Dickon Hinchliffe (Winter's Bone, Trouble Every Day). Existing somewhere between Air's Virgin Suicides, the Jean-Claude Vannier assisted instrumental backdrop of Serge Gainsbourg's Histoire de Melody Nelson, and Michael Nyman's most effective work, Project Nim's evocative soundtrack serves to enhance the gripping tale of animal/human interaction.
