Muchow Jan P.: The Antagonist - CD

John P. Muchow is not only the founder of the iconic Ecstasy of Saint Theresa and a sought-after producer and remixer, but also one of the most awarded composers of film music!

During twenty years Muchow composed music for more than thirty films. He starred in several films and became a symbol of part of the 90s generation with his acting debut in the lead role in the film Whisper.

Nevertheless, Muchow decided to devote himself exclusively to composing music in his film work. That this was the right decision is evidenced by the list of awards Muchow has received for his film music: four Czech Lion awards and five other nominations, the Czech Film Critics' Prize and the Sun in the Net of the Slovak Film Academy.

A selection of the best, with an emphasis on film songs, is currently being released on an album called The Antagonist. Listeners can look forward to purely instrumental incidental music as well as songs written exclusively for individual films. For example, the now legendary Lucky Boy from The Loners, the dark ballad Lay Down from In the Shadows, the current Cowboy of The River from The Tiger Theory or the western Out of Shadow from the Polish film Yuma will not be missing.

In total, seventeen passes were received, that we know from the Loners movies, In the shadows, Tiger theory, Grandhotel, Men in hope, Yuma, We 2, One hand is not clapping, Normal, Wenceslas and others. The result is a varied musical palette of emotions and moods, in which the individual compositions work independently and together as a whole. It is a listening that is both fragile and vigorous, colourful and minimalist. Exactly as befits a representative collection that underlines Muchow's exceptional position on the domestic music scene and among local film music composers.
