Grasshopper Republic

Description

Following his breakthrough electroacoustic soundtrack for Candyman and his score for the moody feature Master comes a new soundtrack from the ever-unpredictable composer Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe. Filmed over the course of three seasons, Grasshopper Republic follows a local grasshopper trapping team in verité style, as these modern-day prospectors who harvest and sell the insects push into remote forests seeking their fortune by capturing this elusive prey. Lowe’s electronic music soundtracks both the seen and unseen moments that produced the films’ holistic abstraction of the intersecting worlds of insects, humans, and economy. ‘I wanted to be able to create a world which was a justifiable language within that space, and to be able to enhance that experience because the film is experiential and immersive’.
