Album: Coraline
Artist: Bruno Coulais
Released: 2009
Description: Terrific, off-kilter, and ripe with wonderment, Bruno Coulais creates a charming soundtrack that switches between the whimsical and the frightening. The instrumentation highlights Coraline, the curious youth; higher-range female vocals, bells, high strings, and harp. The soundtrack creates a story on its own and very often he surprises the listener with musical curveballs. Great for writing children’s stories, especially when the child’s imagination plays a large role in shaping the story’s world.
