Remy van Kesteren: Mirror Maze (Pact met de Duivel OST)

The long wait is over for Dutch harpist Remy van Kesteren. After he had released An alternative soundtrack to the motion picture The Red Turtle it was only a matter of time before he would be invited to do a score. He wrote Mirror Maze for Pact met de Duivel ("pact with the devil") is a TV series about the longest running liquidation trial in The Netherlands and he came up with a series of eerie, but sometimes also surprisingly gentle compositions that can stand on their own.

Van Kesteren has been using electronics to compliment the sound of his instrument and by inviting cello player Annie Tangberg, he created the right amount of tension and release for the emotions running high in the courtroom and elsewhere. Mirror Maze is a match made in heaven, showcasing the possibilities of the harp, mixed with modern technology.
