Prior to Colin Stetson and Brigid Chambule, we had Garefowl, another bird-inspired project originally started by Ewan MacDonald and his father Murdo, who are relatives of one of the men who killed the last great oak, Garefowl.
Christopher TellefsenGUEST
We had some, some previews, and it was like...
Christopher TellefsenGUEST
And, and Colin Stetson's score was, he was starting with, with something that was, was much more a horror.
Christopher TellefsenGUEST
And it, it just, it wasn't, it was not the right s- start for the film.
Christopher TellefsenGUEST
It didn't land in the place that we needed to go.
Gary WestHOST
She's always on tour or recording or collaborating and it's all excellent stuff and she's really taking the small pipes in particular in her own direction.
Gary WestHOST
One of her collaborators from the recent past was Colin Stetson and they've got together again for a new release that just came out very recently this month.
Gary WestHOST
It's called All the Light in the World.
Gary WestHOST
Colin Stetson is a multi-instrumentalist from the USA, although living I think in Montreal these days.
Gary WestHOST
He plays saxophone, clarinet, all manner of things, wind instruments of various kinds.
Gary WestHOST
And he's a composer, he's worked with many different people and yeah, great to see that the two of them, Colin and Bridgie, have teamed up again.
Gary WestHOST
Elsewhere it really gets going, lots of rhythm, lots of movement.
Gary WestHOST
Anyway, you can judge for yourself because here's a taster.

Lars GotrichCORRESPONDENT
You can picture it, maybe even imagine how it sounds, and then the result goes far beyond your expectations.
Lars GotrichCORRESPONDENT
All the Light in the World is not the first collaboration between Colin Stetson and Breige Heimbold, but it is their first full length together.
Lars GotrichCORRESPONDENT
Colin is known for his athletic approach to several varieties of saxophone, making great use of circular breathing, and Breige is a rising star of the Scottish small pipes.
Lars GotrichCORRESPONDENT
She transforms them into an instrument of transcendence, and together they not only extend the possibilities of their instruments, but showcase the diversity found within drone music.
Lars GotrichCORRESPONDENT
Colin and Breige find the space between the ancient and the modern to create a third way.
Lars GotrichCORRESPONDENT
An absolutely thrilling album I cannot recommend enough for a long drive through the countryside.
Lars GotrichCORRESPONDENT
[upbeat music] That's All the Light in the World by Colin Stetson and Breige Heimbold.
Stephen ThompsonHOST
Thank you so much, Lars Gotrich.
Jordan CronkGUEST
yeah and it is funny like you said actually when it something when when the tragic event happens it actually there's humorous references to what happens it becomes very meta they start to refer to the film and the people in the film as uh people in a film yeah So it's very, yeah, very strange and it could definitely not work if, I don't know, if she didn't have such command of like the tone I think is very important and the music is excellent throughout.
Jordan CronkGUEST
Colin Stetson did the score who's like a great experimental saxophone player.
Jordan CronkGUEST
And, uh, also good use of just like great pop music from like the seventies to like the nineties.
Jordan CronkGUEST
So,
Brian WiseHOST
I thought it was pretty good.
Brian WiseHOST
Kenneth Branagh plays an interesting Russian character, but the most interesting thing about it, to me, was the soundtrack, which is done by musician Colin Stetson, who I saw, it must be 10 years ago now, at the Mona Foma Festival down in Tasmania, who's an amazing musician, saxophonist, and he has done that soundtrack.
Brian WiseHOST
And then I went and looked at his other work.
Brian WiseHOST
He's done a whole lot of recent soundtracks.
