Study Original Soundtrack is the soundtrack album to the 2012 film, Study. It was released on iTunes on October 1, 2013.[1] [2] [3] The soundtrack uses a variety of musical genres including hard rock, psychedelic rock, new age, funk rock, gothic rock and thrash metal.[4] The original score was composed by Paolo Benetazzo, Roberto Chemello and Jean Charles Carbone.
The soundtrack includes famous pieces of classical music reinterpreted for the film, such as Liszt's Un Sospiro, Chopin's Funeral March and Nocturne in E minor, Op. posth. 72, and Debussy's Arabesque No. 1.
According to the film's director, Paolo Benetazzo, "Music plays a crucial part in Study. The film does not rely on traditional techniques of narrative cinema. I wanted the film to be a primarily visual and sound experience in which music plays a vital role in evoking specific atmospheres."[5]
These classical pieces are used in the film, but are not included on the soundtrack album.
