Let’s open up our ears. What do we hear if we spend some time listening to the world around us? During an entire day, six characters create the score of a horror movie: voices dubbing, sound effects, and original music soundtrack. Each of them uses his know-how and own intimate connection with music. Kate Strong, actress and former dancer who is in charge of post-synching “The Film”; her masculine acolyte, Matthias Girbig, present for the same reasons: Pauline Sikirdji, an opera singer who is there to dub certain songs; Sylvain Cartigny, a composer who is in charge of the soundtrack; a sound engineer, Thomas Blanchard in charge of the recording; Mathieu Bauer, a director who is there to supervise all the work. These six characters will be present to produce the soundtrack of a film we will never see, but we will listen to in all its dimensions, with bits of dialogue, music and sound effects. Beyond this sound creative work, a whole space of share and sensations is revealed to us. Here resound some musical memories, there we can hear the voices of some ghosts hidden in the hall… Tempers flare, melodies go from one head to another, from one character to another, from the movie to the studio, from the stage to the hall. The atmosphere is filled with suspicion and suspense, as everyone is waiting for what’s coming next, the intrigue tightens up and makes the audience dive into an unheard world… While we are more than ever surrounded by sounds, The haunting melody chases, in the middle of a recording studio, the music tracks and sounds that are haunting us and composing the soundtrack of our lives.
