Product Description: Simple As Water is a quiet and meditative documentary from Academy Award-winning director Megan Mylan.
The soundtrack for Simple As Water is an honest and reflective score tenderly underlining the brokenness, loss and pain of the many displaced Syrian families in the world. In conception, the score was not to be emotionally manipulative and in its spareness allow the viewer to sit with the families in their day-to-day life and, hopefully, feel they are alongside them in their moments of struggle, loss and joy. The understated quality of the music makes each cue more poignant and memorable, as the main piano theme weaves in and out through the film. The instrumentation of the score is an organic blend of oboe, bowed vibraphone, marimba, piano and solo strings, and Its childlike purity is a reflection of the film’s subjects, families and stories. The score is tinged with a sadness throughout, but is always reaching for a place of hope, warmth and resolution. “Less is more” was the statement I came back to again and again while composing the music for Simple As Water - empowering the viewer to feel vulnerable in the face of the realities these families face and to reflect on the human connections all beings desire and were, ultimately, created for.
