Parisian composer Saycet announces his latest original soundtrack work for French actress and director Noémie Merlant’s new feature length film, Mi iubita, Mon Amour

Debuted at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, Saycet composed the soundtrack for French actress and director, Noémie Merlant’s new feature-length film, Mi iubita, Mon Amour – the story of the devouring passion of a French woman for a young Romanian man in the heart of a burning summer, the film is a story of flight, of quest and of complex feelings.

The collaboration between Saycet and Noémie Merlant is built around the track Layers which Saycet was producing for his latest album. Composing a new and minimalist version which forms one of the main themes of the soundtrack for the film, Mi iubita, Mon Amour is set between France and Romania, with Saycet’s score musically being traditional and folkloric yet not falling into a cliché.

Venturing into new artistic territories and influenced by Hungarian scales and the work of Nino Rota, Gustavo Santaolalla and Paco de Lucía, Saycet composes pieces on the guitar and finds himself in a more organic musical spectrum than usual.

With his latest soundtrack, Saycet explores his love for electronic landscapes and the emotional possibilities of organic instruments. Featuring tracks including the La Mer which was written on a synthesizer and pays homage to Vivaldi’s Summer and Nino – another key theme for the film which Saycet composed on guitar to revive a certain melancholic feel of 1950’s and 60’s film music.

A racy composer with an extremely personal harmonic approach, Mi iubita, Mon Amour demonstrates yet another facet of Saycet’swork and a further step into his journey for composing feature length film scores.
