““I was so lucky to meet my composer Peter Baert over in Belgium when I was doing a project there. Later, when I was doing this, he wrote me and ended up sending me eight tracks that I just couldn’t shake — even though we already had another composer. And when I cut Peter’s music is as an experiment, it all just worked perfectly. Within a week, he flew over, sat next to me in the edit, and that’s how he became my composer. He’d never done an English-speaking film before, and he totally nailed the tone. We recorded and mixed at Galaxy, and did all the sound design and mixing at Sony and re-recording at Deluxe Hollywood.””
*** “Son of a church organist, Belgian studio tweaker PETER BAERT shows a definite fondness for the less than ecclesiastic tones of the Rhodes Mark II, structuring whole compostions out of dense and intircat manipulations of its distinctive sounds. Even the sturdy beats bolted into their framework are the result of cutting elongated loops into tighter, more percussive breaks. Thanks to the lean lines and efficient layering of each piece, a tight range of sounds is allowed enough emotional intelligence and life to keep the senses engaged, making his debut well worth tracking down. Those who need a little more persuasion should check out the oblique sonic archtitecture of ‘Rounded, Requiem For A Boy’ and the neatly arranged progressions of ‘Zodiac Love’
