Eric André’s Blarf project turns toward orchestral music for eight imaginary films
Made with composer Prateek Rajagopal and recorded in Budapest and Los Angeles
For fans of: Jonny Greenwood, Ennio Morricone, experimental film scores, adventurous Stones Throw releases
After the sample collisions of Cease & Deist, Blarf takes an unexpected route into orchestral composition. André and Prateek Rajagopal write for films that do not exist, allowing the music to suggest its own scenes. “Stars Without Light” pairs strings with synthesizers, while “Piano Concerto No. 0” moves from repeating patterns toward trap percussion and distorted guitar. Metal and musique concrète interrupt other passages. André’s taste for disruption is still present, but the writing gives that instinct a much broader range of moods and sounds.
“eight pieces of instrumental music that are legitimately excellent”
— Fred Thomas, AllMusic
