Bruno Coulais has been hired to score the upcoming documentary Babies. The movie simultaneously chronicles the lives of four of the world’s newest human inhabitants – in Mongolia, Namibia, San Francisco, and Tokyo, respectively — from first breath to first steps, on a journey at once universal and amazingly original. The movie is directed by Thomas Balmes and will be released in the US this mother’s day weekend on May 7 by Focus Features. To watch the trailer and find out more about the movie, check out the official movie webpage. According to Coulais, the music for Babies was written for a very special orchestra that included a lot of toys, a string quintet, wind orchestra, ethnic instruments, piano and percussion. The score also features vocals by French artist Rosemary.
