Ella van der Woude - Is Beauty Enough? (Digital Single)
Ella van der Woude composed the intimate soundtrack for How to Shoot a Ghost — the new short film by director Charlie Kaufman (director of Synecdoche, New York, writer of Being John Malkovich, and Oscar winner for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Is Beauty Enough? is the first single from the film soundtrack.
Ella van der Woude: “Charlie and Eva H.D. (writer) encouraged me to create something far more propulsive and illustrative than what I would naturally write. That’s something I really appreciate about film scoring: you end up making music that still sounds like you, yet takes you somewhere you wouldn’t have reached on your own. The film is full of beauty – an intimate connection to the material world and, ultimately, a graceful farewell to it. The music aims to evoke these emotions in the viewer.”
