The Musical score stands apart , a rare pervasive energy encompasses the entire score. Your work was perfectly executed . A beautiful vision the music speaks directly to those who are open enough to listen to her. The best soundtrack I have ever heard related to New England Witch Craft.
I haven´t seen the movie yet (but I will as soon as I get the chance), but I have listened to a couple of the music tracks because I am a Soundtrack Reviewer for a Blog. The music is scary as hell, I was really impressed by it and I am thinking about writing an article based on it. Great video, by the way. And amazing work with the score.
The best sound design and sound track I've seen in a film in a long time. the decision not to use a known composition "lachrimae" is so artistically sound, reflecting how you want to soundscape a space that feels at the edge of the world. Wonder if any gamers know if the Nyckelharpa was also used in "the witcher: wild hunt" soundtrack too? particularly the scenes with the crones, the Ladies of the Wood?
I absolutely loved this film and your fantastic score! I've seen it 5 times. Thank you for your hard work. "A Witch Stole Sam" and "Witches' Coven" are my most favorite scenes and tracks and the score was great in creating that powerful feel of black magic and mysticism. I was wondering if you could share with us the words the coven was chanting in their incantation and what the English translation of it is. Thanks!
+Kyle Stratton Wow. 5 times really? Glad that you liked the score. The lyrics were a mixture of satanic writings, with a lot of random words we threw in. So we didn't turn ourselves into newts or something. I mean, you never know!
@@8rr725 Don't know. I just knew they were basically taken from actual Satanic verses, although random words were changed so that no one was turned into a newt.
I can see why you guys decided not to use Lachrimae but it was well done. Incredible job on the soundtrack. I hope you and Eggers team up in the future, and if you don't. I hope to hear your work in more films period. You have a great talent, look forward to seeing your career develop. Good luck!
Now this is the kind of content I've been searching for! What was the instrument used for 'a witch stole sam'? also where could I find Mark's rendition of 'lachrimae'?
+Victor V Hi Victor. The instrument was mostly the nyckelharpa. There was also a primitive Finnish instrument called the Jouhikko as well. You can find my version of Lachrimae here: bloody-disgusting.com/interviews/3381360/we-interviewed-composer-mark-korven-about-his-terrifying-score-for-the-witch/

This movie (and soundtrack) is a master piece!
'The Witches' Coven' is possibly the most unnerving soundtrack experience of my entire life. Bravo! Speechless...
Mark Korven is a fucking genius. I have so much admiration and respect for him. Brilliant.

+Madam Della Thank you so much for your comments. Much appreciated.
I just discovered this beautiful film and score. Totally inspiring and a full fledged work of pure art.
I find the score (and the movie for that sake) absolutely astounding...spinning the LP right now.
Awesome. Glad that you enjoyed it!
Fantastic work! The music serves the picture perfectly. Nice one, Mark.
Thank you Julian.
That lachrimae is one of my favorite songs. You played it beautifully!!
+shadowseer07 Thanks very much!

The witch's coven is so unnerving to listen to. Who art thou be willing to translate?
Great music! The nyckelharpa player is very good; could you please list his name in the video description above?
+dbadagna Thanks! The nyckelharpa player is me (Mark Korven).

@@indiefilmandmusic I don't know if you'll see this, but I was wondering what language the satanic words were from?
@@8rr725 Don't know. I just knew they were basically taken from actual Satanic verses, although random words were changed so that no one was turned into a newt.
@@indiefilmandmusic lmao Thanks!
so cool.
I wish it was on CD
Your work on this movie is amazing and Lachrimae was written by John Dowland by the way.
That's the name! I was trying to remember. Thanks for the kind words.

+INDIE FILM MAKER thank you so much! this made my day!
+Victor V You're welcome!
I love your music-pieces in 'The Witch' and am analysing the movie for an essay. Can you tell me what instrument(s) were used in 'Hare In the Woods'?
Hi! That would be cello and Swedish Nyckelharpa. The percussion was cello.
Thanks so much! I am apparently comparing 'The Witch' and 'The Shining'. This would mean a great help to me. :]
Was the tune "Standish" based off of Miles Standish?
I actually don't know. But it certainly sounds like a good guess.
Where can I get the vinyl soundtrack?
Hi Daniel,
Milan Records.

amazing! the music in the film is transcendent
+marpulpfiction Thanks!
