The composers for the musical score of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus are Michael and Jeff Danna. The brothers have been in the business of scoring movies, television shows, documentaries and even a couple of video games since 1987 and 1989 respectively. Michael has scored such films as “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Capote”. Jeff’s works includes “The Boondock Saints” and “Lakeview Terrace” and together they have worked on such films as “Fracture”, “Surf’s Up” and of course, “Tideland”. They have collaborated once again to bring us what will no doubt be a most enchanting and haunting score for Doctor Parnassus.
Mychael
Michael (Mychael) Danna – September 20, 1958 – Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
Mychael Danna is the brother of fellow composer Jeff Danna. He has been scoring films since his 1987 feature debut for Atom Egoyan’s Family Viewing, a score which earned Danna the first of his thirteen Genie Award nominations. He has won five times for Achievement in Music – Original Score. Danna is recognized as one of the pioneers of combining non-Western sound sources with orchestral and electronic minimalism in the world of film music.
He studied music composition at the University of Toronto, winning the Glenn Gould Composition Scholarship in 1985. Danna also served for five years as composer-in-residence at the McLaughlin Planetarium in Toronto (1987-1992). Works for dance include music for Dead Souls (Carbone Quatorze Dance Company, directed by Gilles Maheu 1996), and a score for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s Gita Govinda (2001) based on the 1000-year-old classical Indian erotic poem, with choreographer Nina Menon.
Jeff
Jeff Danna – 1964 – Burlington, Ontario, Canada
A hand injury ended the performance career of pianist/guitarist Jeff Danna, but his dream was kept alive with his transition to soundtrack composing. Using as a springboard a score for the Warner Brothers television revival of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, which he composed shortly after moving to Los Angeles in 1991, Danna became one of the top composers of television soundtracks. Beginning with his score for the Tim Blake Nelson-directed movie O in 2000, Danna has focused on film composition.
Danna has remained active as a musician, recording traditional and original Celtic music with his brother keyboardist Mychael. The brothers, who have received three BMI/SOCAN awards for scoring excellence, collaborated on three albums including A Celtic Tale: The Legend of Deirdre, A Celtic Romance: The Legend of Lladain and Curithur, and a second version of The Legend of Deirdre featuring narration by Fiona Ritchie of National Public Radio show “Thistle and Shamrock”.
< ----Jeff talks to insidefilmmusic.com about working with Terry Gilliam –--->
Q: I want to begin with Tideland, which I feel is your most artistic work to date. First of all, how did you get involved and at what point was it decided to be a collaborated effort?
A: Back in the beginning of that project, Mychael (Danna) and I talked about wanting to do something together again. I don’t remember the nuts and bolts of how it came to be. I know that Mychael knew Leslie Walker which is how we got connected to that film.
Q: I feel that Tideland was a masterfully designed and poignant film set in this bizarre world of happenings. This leaves a lot of room for creative expression. What key elements were you looking for when telling this story musically?
A: The great thing about Tideland is that there was no boundaries in the imaginative (Terry) Gilliam world. A lot of times when composers come on to a project, there are the obvious parameters placed around your creativity because of the genre or the period or the directors desire for a certain sound…basically a lot of things to be considered. In this case, there wasn’t a box around us. The one general note we had from the beginning was to play it from Jodelles perspective versus playing it to the audience as a series of happenings. Jodelle’s character was quite innocent, eccentric and surreal.
Q: Being that this picture was vividly different from your works in the past, were there any outside influences or did the film naturally dictate your overall sound?
A: Lesley Walker, the film editor does not temp her films, so it was very interesting to be able to come to the table with a completely fresh take on it and not having someone say it needs to sound like this. In some ways this makes it a little trickier because there is a whole world of possibilities and it takes time to narrow them down.
The Terry Gilliam film, Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus stars Heath Ledger, Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, Jude Law, Tom Waits, Christopher Plummer, Lily Cole, Verne Troyer and Andrew Garfield
