At the ASCAP Expo 2010 forum

I was invited to the ASCAP Expo 2010 in Hollywood yesterday as panelist to speak about film scoring, presented by Variety.

L'Arnacoeur (Original Score) Album Credits

An earlier labelcopy posted here showed an early version of the album which, sadly, I could only offer for a few days. Legalities regarding the song I co-wrote and produced for the film specifically disallowed me using ideas such as pick-your-price, free downloads, "some" rights reserved, free share-and-remix and more. I had to decide to either compromise the progressive spirit I believe in and cut many features, or simply take the song off the album. Sorry.

L'Arnacoeur

L’Arnacoeur (English title: Heartbreaker) is an action-packed romantic comedy directed by Pascal Chaumeil, starring actress-singer Vanessa Paradis and Romain Duris. Alex (Romain Duris) is a professional “Heartbreaker” who makes his living breaking up unhappy couples. But business is going slow and he agrees to work for M. Van Der Bercq (Jacques Frantz). Alex has one week to stop M. Van Der Bercq’s daughter Juliette (Vanessa Paradis) from getting married to the man she is madly in love with. But Alex can find no fault with Juliette’s fiance and even worse, he deeply falls for her. Watching the story unfold and the humorous complexity of each character made this film a joy to work on, and even more fun to watch!

The score to France's #1 film of 2010 is available in Klaus' online store and all major stores. It's the first release on Klaus' own labelzero.com, his innovative personal music outlet. As an added bonus, we will have the score available through our site as a high quality surround .wav download for all you purists asap! So make sure to keep checking back.
