“One oft he great things about Frans Bak’s music is that he has myriad of different approaches to creating tension and suspense. Some of the magic of its ability to find lots of different ways to bring you to the edge of your seat while at the same time not wearing out its welcome … I think the sophistication and the beauty of Frans’ music really lets you feel the different nuances of fear and intrigue in compelling ways that are then personalized by the different characters which are introduced.”
