Didier Recloux can make the movie appear in your head. You might have never even heard of the script. It all makes sense while you listen to the swirling melodies, causing a purple storm that cloud your visuals and inspire you to think more. All this in the first few seconds of his song. This is his single from the album Monsieur Linh and his Child. This is called First Walk.Â
The relationship between father and son is a unique one. The same investment of a mother doesn’t exist. However, responsibility looms like a dark cloud with a silver lining. Didier Recloux makes some powerful imagery with synths that sound like they are watching over you. The soothing pianos break through this tension, creating a familiar melody that gives you solace. There are several layers, like the flute and gentle chords strumming in the background. It is like watching that wondrous moment of progress, with pride. To make it all the more surprising, Didier Recloux mixes aspects of acoustic drums, along with synth swells. It is a very interesting textural play, along with the drama of jazz and action of Broadway. Powerful, moving, surprising and very addictive.
He has also composed music for BBC world documentaries and series, so there’s a lot of experience. This is clearly heard in the story he can take you through, with absolute ease. The Beginning of Life (2016) is a great documentary in which this music would be more than perfect. Didier Recloux gives you the license of a lifetime with music like this.
