Evoking the desert journey with free form guitar improvisations, the soundtrack is a meditation on the mysteries of the Sahara. Composed by writer and actor Ahmoudou Madassane, the instrumental score takes the familiar Tuareg guitar tradition into new directions, transforming desert blues into ambient soundscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 42px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1530023703\/size=small\/bgcol=333333\/linkcol=0f91ff\/transparent=true\/\" seamless\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ahmoudoumadassane.bandcamp.com\/album\/zerzura-original-soundtrack-recording\"\u003eZerzura (Original Soundtrack Recording) by Ahmoudou Madassane\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in studio while watching footage from the film, the score was recorded in live and spontaneous takes. Heavily based around the electric guitar, Madassane also plays a handful of other in-studio instrumentation (prepared piano, Moog, Timpani) and is joined by a number of collaborators, including guitarist Marisa Anderson.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA prolific and backing artist in a number of groups (Mdou Moctar, Les Filles de Illighadad), Madassane is well versed in Tuareg guitar folk and draws inspiration from this tradition before veering off into uncharted territory. Pieces fluctuate in timing and break free from standard rhythm, moving from melancholic serenity to blurry psychedelic fury. An experimental foray for Tuareg guitar, Zerzura is the first of its kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatch the film here:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/ondemand\/zerzura\" rel=\"nofollow ugc\"\u003evimeo.com\/ondemand\/zerzura\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll music performed by Ahmoudou Madassane\u003cbr\u003eAddition instruments Marisa Anderson, Christopher Kirkley, Leonardo C.
