But the music doesn’t come courtesy of Brian Eno. No, it is the creation of Elvin Brandhi.
What Happened
If you don’t follow experimental music, here are some basics to know about her. Elvin Brandhi is the pseudonym of Freya Edmondes, an improvising voice and sound artist who was born in Wales, but has become a citizen of the world.
“In the lockdown, I did a lot more filming and editing stuff, so I feel that this soundtrack world is also a nice potential way to get back into the editing of my own.
The creative mentions that she has also worked with video herself, and being involved with At Night inspired her to return to more of it.
Brandhi took time out of her busy schedule to talk to THR about the creation of the soundtrack for At Night, her other music work and whether we may be able to hear more.
Key Details
She is also part of all sorts of music collaborations, including father/daughter “noise-improv berserkers” Yeah You, Pollution Opera with Nadah El Shazly, the duo Avril Spleen with Joseph Jadam, the band PFL with Peter Kutin and Lukas König, and the project Bahk.
Her music features unusual beats created from field recordings, her own voice, tape, vinyl and instruments.
