22D Music has released a soundtrack album for the French nature documentary Whispers in the Woods (Le Chant des forêts). The album features the film’s original music composed by Warren Ellis (The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, I’m Still Here, Hell or High Water, Mustang, The Road, Blonde), Olivier Goinard and Birds on a Wire’s Dom La Nena (This Is My Mother, Bon Voyage, Marie) & Rosemary Standley. Also included is Hildur Guðnadóttir’s piece Fólk fær andlit, Alice Baldwin’s Was am Ende, as well as several tracks by sound designer Olivier Goinard. The soundtrack is now available to stream/download on Amazon (and any other major digital music services), where you can also check out the track list. Also listen to Ellis’ first track (Forest Fog) after the jump. Whispers in the Woods is directed by Vincent Munier and follows the wildlife photographer as he embarks on a journey, with his father and son, into the heart of a forest whose beauty is transcendent.  The documentary premiered at this year’s Zurich Film Festival and just opened in French theaters last Wednesday.
