> press quotes on marcel’s music

FILMPLUSKRITIK | ‚BLAME‘
„Dafür sorgen etwa die Fledermausflüge imitierenden Drohnenaufnahmen und der hervorragende, aus Stücken von Jóhann Jóhannsson („Arrival“, „Mandy“) bestehende Soundtrack von Marcel Vaid, der den Aufnahmen von abgelegenen Fledermaushöhlen geradezu poetische Qualität verleiht.“

FILM-REZENSIONEN.DE | ‚BLAME‘
„Blame is a lush, sprawling and at times – thanks to the captivating score by Marcel Vaid and Jóhann Jóhannsson (Mandy, Arrival), who died in 2018 – overly dramatic work.“

SENNHAUSER’S FILMBLOGG| ‚BLAME‘
„This is due to Marcel Vaid’s dramatic-illustrative score, which, with Wagnerian pathos, pushes the facts and reactions and post-facts and propaganda material and conspiracy theories, which Frei has compiled in ever-widening spirals, up and down into an emotional rollercoaster.“

CINEUROPA | ‚DON’T LET THE SUN‘
„Most of the scenes feature little to no dialogue and mostly rely on the atmosphere, which is generated by a blend of visuals, and carefully chosen and sporadic sounds (special praise goes to the music by Marcel Vaid).“ (Veronica Orciari)
