Série Noire, série ovni par Natalia Wysocka, Canada Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Notons aussi que la musique, signée Cristobal Tapia de Veer, colle parfaitement avec le ton singulier de la série, enveloppant, rythmant et accentuant avec juste ce qu’il faut d’humour les aventures rocambolesques de la paire…” Read the article here read more
Soundtrack Chat with Clint Mansell & Tara Busch by Sean Adams, UK Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…T: I love when I can’t imagine the film without it..I don’t know if you’ve seen the show Utopia yet, but thats a great example of the music being a really powerful character – and the show is amazing, but the music pushes it over the edge… just killer… it actually made me go back […] read more
Überkolorierte Schattenwelten von Daniel Schulz, Deutschland Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…Die Sonne bescheint ein überkoloriertes, unwirkliches Land. Mag das Tageslicht in anderen Welten Trost spenden, hier erhellt es eine grelle Kulisse, hinter der Finsteres geschieht. Garniert mit derbem bis abstrusem Humor und einem hypnotischen Soundtrack, präsentiert sich die Gesamtkomposition wie ein Mix aus der Thrillerserie “Homeland” und der halluzinogenen Kindermär “Alice im Wunderland”…” Read the article […] read more
Diegósoto, España Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Y por último y de nuevo con un papel protagonista a más no poder, nos encontramos con la alucinante banda sonora del músico Cristobal Tapia de Veer. Electrónica seca, dubstep, o como queráis llamarlo, pero es escuchar un par de segundos de sus temas y los pelos como escarpias. Psicodelia, tensión, caña de la buena. […] read more
CRISTÓBAL TAPIA DE VEER – UTOPIA por Pablo Eterovic, Chile Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Esta vez hablaremos de Cristóbal Tapia de Veer, compositor chileno radicado en Canadá, quien compuso uno de los mejores soundtracks del 2013 cuando musicalizó de forma increíble la serie británica Utopia…”Read the article here read more
Experimental soundtracks and lavish orchestras – TV never sounded so good by Phelim O’Neill, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “The ambitious scores of Game of Thrones, Utopia and new US drama The Knick are bringing a new dimension to music on TV…” Read the article here read more
SERIENGENIALITÄT „UTOPIA“ KOMMT ZU RTL CRIME von Christopher Büchele, Deutschland Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…wenn man uns persönlich nach unserem Serienhighlight 2013 fragen würde, so müssten wir Dennis Kellys beängstigend guten Sechstteiler an allererster Stelle nennen… Read the article here read more
La huella sonora de las series, España, para Álvaro P. Ruiz de Elvira Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Sonidos de otro mundo en Utopía. (…) Antonio Martínez destaca una virtud de este trabajo: “Cuando una banda sonora está muy presente en televisión, carga. En Utopía, esta música electrónica minimalista está ideal, entra en los momentos justos, te prepara la atmósfera tan extraña junto a esa fotografía colorista y esos escenarios que no sabes […] read more
Scoring the period drama, free of context by Sam Edwards, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “Composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer has, thankfully, broken the mold entirely with his music for the BBC’s The Crimson Petal And The White… Abstract instrumentals with unintelligible vocal sounds – reminiscent of an avant-garde indie record – weave in and out of the episodes…. With Tapia de Veer’s music having contributed so much to the […] read more
Monday Morning Playlist: Soundtrackers Cristobal Tapia de Veer by David W. Valentin, United States Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…He’s been a longtime favorite for us at AE35 Media. His combination of sound design elements and percussion always make for a moody backdrop that remains compulsively listenable. All of these songs are the ones he contributed to the album “A Future Darkly,” and can be heard on Spotify. To get a sample of his […] read more
Utopía para Leti intheSky withDiamonds, España (?) Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…La música está hecha a la medida de las imágenes. El tema principal de la banda sonora es pegadizo y rítmico, inolvidable. En las escenas violentas se escuchan golpes, caídas, disparos, apuñalamientos, gemidos y gritos; tan realistas como si estuvieran ejecutando la paliza, tortura o asesinato en tu propia habitación. Tanto las canciones como gran […] read more
The Crimson Petal and the White: episode four – season finale by Sarah Dempster, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…There was the woozy, gauzy, brilliantly claustrophobic atmosphere – the product of Cristobal Tapia de Veer’s score and Marc Munden’s exceptional, stylish, unselfconscious direction. This was an adult drama in every sense, and as complex and rewarding as anything the BBC has produced. In a nutshell: core…” Read the article here read more
UTOPIA – 1ª TEMPORADA, Caio Vianna , Brasil Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Cristobal Tapia de Veer, o compositor da trilha original da série, completa o círculo técnico criando uma das melhores músicas que pude ouvir nesses últimos anos. Nervosa, inquietante e extremamente arraigada aos intentos do show, as faixas de Veer transportam para os notas aquilo que a cinematografia faz com as imagens. A teoria de conspiração […] read more
Utopia: paranoia y suspense en la mejor serie de televisión del momento por Óscar Broc, España Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…La música de “Utopia” es rara de cojones, para qué andarse con rodeos. He dicho rara, no mala. Lo cierto es que, aunque cueste encajarla en la acción, nuestro cerebro se adaptará a su frecuencia de onda al segundo episodio y ya no podrá separar los chisporroteos de electrónica experimental –muchos juegos de voces superpuestos, […] read more
The Crimson Petal and the White, final episode, review by Benji Wilson, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…the composer, Cristobal Tapia de Veer, set out to subvert – he welded the squelchings and rumblings of modern electronica to a tableau from the 1870s in the way that Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood did in his score for There Will Be Blood…” Read the article here read more
Utopia series 1 soundtrack review by Rob Smedley, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…The music produced is as eclectic as its instruments. Like a gallery of modern art it bypasses your logic centres and goes straight for a gut reaction. Its creepy electronic tones, unidentifiable moans and vocal rips make it an unsettling, often dislocating experience: one that leaves you feeling like the test subject at the centre […] read more
UTOPIA OST, revisión del disco por Rubén Franco, España Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…El score de la serie corre a cargo del compositor chileno Cristobal Tapia De Veer, quien ofrece un trabajo que va en consonancia con las imágenes, rítmico y percusivo, lleno de instrumento étnica de todo tipo (solo hay que escuchar el tema central), y con sonoridades innovadoras y experimentales (como el corte Discolate Thumbs)…” Read the […] read more
The Crimson Petal and the White: Revisiting Victorian era without sexual blinders by Matthew Gilbert, United States Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…director (Marc Munden) makes refreshingly bold choices for the camera and the music. He uses hazy focus and off-kilter framing to set us off-balance, and the soundtrack ranges from gnawing electronic hums to choral ecstasy. It’s all brilliantly, effectively, appropriately jarring, even if it sends the “Masterpiece” crowd to the medicine cabinet for Dramamine…” Read the […] read more
Utopia series 2 review by Georgie Sampson, United Kingdom Posted on September 12, 2017May 3, 2019 “…And let’s not forget the soundtrack. Quirky and atmospheric at the same time, I don’t know if Utopia would work as well without it…” Read the article here read more
Ossa umane (Utopia) de Follia, Italia Posted on September 12, 2017November 3, 2021 “…Il creatore della sigla è un sudamericano. Eclettico, dal nome da perfetto eclettico musicale, Cristobal Tapia De Veer. Ti aspetti grandi cose da uno che si chiama Cristobal… E lui di strada ne ha fatta. Il pezzo, alla faccia dei moralisti, ha vinto un sacco di premi. E se li merita tutti. Nonostante che parte […] read more
