An album. To ‘Go Fast’, because that’s its title. With a composer who also goes very fast, often. The most difficult being to do something well and fast. Going fast to attain one’s mission can become perilous. Go Fast is hence the title of Olivier Van Hoofstadt’s movie. The flick that should give the French thriller genre a brand new energy and a top speed almost capable of breaking the wall of sound. The sound here is Agoria’s, the luminous prodigy of the French electronic scene is capable of teletransporting dozens of thousands of clubbers in a state of ultimate joy that gives them feet of wind. All this does tend to give a taste for speed. Agoria does remain a discreet person. Indeed, when we first met him on the occasion of the Nuits Sonores, he failed to tell us that he was working on a project for an original score for a film co-produced by Luc Besson. This action movie focuses on these famous ‘Go Fasters’, the automobile pilots with a fury for ultra-powerful, armed convoys who transport over a ton of hashish at 200 km/hour or more on the European motorways, with an aim of outsmarting the police forces. It just so happens that producers Emmanuel Prévost and Stéphane Lecomte listened to Agoria’s album ‘The Green Armchair’ completely by chance. They were soon to fall head over heels in love with the album, and decided to synchronise two scenes of the film with tracks ‘Code 1026’ and ‘Europa’. Agoria asks to see the scenes. Soon, he enjoys it so much that he is asked to compose the entire score for the film. Apparently, imagining music over images is a job in itself. Agoria soon realises this when someone tells him. But it does not deter him as he tools to compose another album, which could naturally become his third, simply inspired from the images and the scenario of ‘Go Fast’ |
