"
Evil Does Not Exist
is an expansive new soundtrack undertaking from
Eiko Ishibashi
, a stellar further display of her ability to explicate the depths of the unspoken in her music. That it is also the soundtrack to the new
Ryusuke Hamaguchi
feature is marvelous news for all who loved her score for his Oscar-winning 2021 film,
Drive My Car
. That her music harmonizes effortlessly with the state of nature as depicted in his film, a nuanced tale of humans' uneasy efforts to maintain co-existence with the delicate state of the planet, is a further profound achievement. At play here, though, is much more than fantastic new music from a powerful new film -- it is evidence of a vital recomposition of the relationship of sound to narrative, and composer to filmmaker. The impetus for this came when Eiko was asked by overseas promoters for a program of live performances backed by visuals. After some thought, she asked Hamaguchi if he would make something for her to use for this purpose. This led Hamaguchi to develop the script further, with sequences of dialogue. In the end, he made two works:
Gift
, a silent film to act as a visual score for a live performance by Ishibashi, and
Evil Does Not Exist
, his new narrative feature film, which provided the visual material for the silent film
Gift
and features Eiko's music as its soundtrack. This is a fittingly synergistic exchange within their two disciplines, in which the moods and intentions of the music and the film acted in practical conversation: each one a sovereign statement, made possible by its relationship with the other. Eiko's compositions are scored for violin, cello, guitar, drums and keyboards. Her longtime partner
Jim O'Rourke
played the guitar and mixed and mastered the recordings when they were done, eliciting further the necessary nuances of atmosphere and mood that one would expect in one film, much less two!"
