1891. Gauguin went into exile for Tahiti. He wants to find his true art, as a free man, as a wild one, far from moral, political and aesthetic codes of civilized Europe. He broke into the jungle, braving solitude, poverty and illness. There he met Tehura, who would become his wife, and the subject of his most beautiful pictures.

This biographical picture of French postimpressionist painter unveils a sublime score composed by Warren Ellis. Rock musician as one of the pillars of Nick Cave’s Bad Seeds, Warren Ellis is also the artist behind brilliant soundtracks with the latter: The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The Proposition, The Road, Mars, and Hell or High Water. But Warren Ellis is not only the shadow of charismatic Nick Cave: he won the César for best score in 2016 for his first solo work Mustang and we heard his art more recently inDjango.

For Gauguin, Warren Ellis has surpassed himself: melancholic strings, nostalgic pianos, and contemplative soundscapes are now the trademark of this Australian genius. The album also features four tracks by Nick Cave & Warren Ellis from their « White Lunar » compilation.
