Who is this singer hidden behind the pseudonym "GWTG"? I may well search, I’m stuck. This voice immediately caught me, as I was watching the TV series Cain and the perfect song "Nowhere to Hide" was resonating.

Then I pricked up my ears more and more to the entire soundtrack. Good for me, it’s excellent. Arno Alyvan is not a soundtrack composer like the others. He visibly possesses a good rock and pop culture, and knows how to transpose his taste for this music in the universe of the sequences he has to accompany. It’s alive, rhythmic, varied, masterful.

If the theme "Caïn" is set in the eponymous piece and can often be found again in the course of all the soundtrack, under different variations, you’ll also meet folk moods like the harmonica of "Le Retour d'Abel" (ah, this stereo effect in the 59th second!) or the banjo of "Four-Wheel Drive". Although machines and synths are very present to structure the sound work and to stick closely to the atmospheres and suspense of the investigations, prominence is let to more usual rock instruments rock: duo of electric and acoustic guitars ("Guitarero Duo"), saturated guitar (the whirling "Someone in my Bed"), piano (jazzy "Lotus Rose"), bass ("Faster" with its riff à la Cure). Not forgetting string orchestra ("Golden Jane"), horns, liturgical choirs ("Requiem pour une Nonne") – be they real or synthetic (?)

The songs (all in English) lay at regular intervals, giving a pop support while listening to the entirety of the work. Finger clicking and particular attraction to "Where's my God Gone": its swinging and performance remind of some swing tracks from Garbage. But who the hell is this singer hidden behind the pseudonym "GWTG"? If you think you found out, This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

  • A lot of short instrumental scenes (one or two minutes) stand alongside true verse-chorus songs. This alternation, coupled with the wealth of the endeavour, keeps the interest from one end to the other of this generous 55-minute OST.
