Thom Yorke on Rolling Stone Italia
Director and composer agreed the Confidenza music should always be a little wrong for the scene, and both like how wrong it is.
24 April 2024 · Rolling Stone Italia · Thom Yorke
Daniele Luchetti, who directed Confidenza, talks to Rolling Stone Italia about making the film's music with Thom Yorke. It began with emails and a script. Months later, as shooting started, a song arrived with a note saying that if he still hadn't found a solution, perhaps they could make the film together. They watched the rushes together, not the cut, with Luchetti explaining what each scene needed. They agreed the music should always be a little wrong for the scene, and both are very happy with how wrong it is. Yorke's demos came in during the shoot, so Luchetti built some scenes knowing the music would explain them, a first for him. The score sets Yorke's voice, treated until it barely sounds like a voice, against a jazz drummer who plays almost like a drum machine and a string section.
