Breton electronic producer Émilie Quinquis, performing under the moniker QUINQUIS, has released her latest project, scènes d’intérieur, via Mute. The five-track release serves as the original soundtrack to director Mélanie Leray’s stage production of the same name, which is loosely based on Henrik Ibsen’s classic play A Doll’s House.
Multimedia Score and Composition
The stage production combines theatrical performance and film sequences, detailing the story of an actress preparing for the role of Nora alongside depictions of domestic violence across differing timelines. Quinquis composed the soundtrack to reflect these two distinct dimensions. She utilized modular electronics to accompany the live theatrical performances and acoustic instrumentation for the filmed narrative sequences.
Recorded on Ushant Island off the coast of Brittany, where the artist resides, the five-track recording also features a collaboration with labelmate Desire Marea on the track ‘Inkanuko’.
