ZAHIA - A Step Ahead - Original Score by Vincent Leibovitz

For this documentary retracing the career of orchestral conductor Zahia, Vincent Leibovitz has chosen a minimalist electronic approach, neatly contrasting the extravagant rise of a woman bravely defying conventions. Carried along by airborne synths, neo-classical motifs echo the traditional oud themes of her ancestors. This modern, original approach, matched with perfectly-pitched sound design respects and sublimates the values of this extraordinary personality.
