{"product_id":"midori-hirano-the-juniper-tree","title":"MIDORI HIRANO  -  THE JUNIPER TREE","description":"Midori Hirano was commissioned in 2025 by Kunstencentrum Viernulvier to compose a new score for The Juniper Tree, created for its Videodroom series, where contemporary experimental artists reinterpret classic arthouse films. Originally directed by Nietzchka Keene in 1986 and starring a young Björk in her first acting role, the film offers a feminist reworking of the Brothers Grimm tale, exploring survival, nature and superstition against Iceland's stark landscapes.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nHirano's soundtrack mirrors the film's quiet intensity with minimalist piano pieces, subtle electronics and carefully judged silences. Delicate melodies reflect the bond between sisters Katla and Margit, while soft-edged synthesizers deepen the atmosphere without overwhelming the images. It's a thoughtful and deeply expressive score that stands on its own as a work of contemporary minimalism.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"VIERNULVIER RECORDS","offers":[{"title":"LP","offer_id":56789770666370,"sku":"DHR-07046","price":23.74,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0556\/2800\/5583\/files\/217007-midori-hirano-the-juniper-tree.jpg?v=1784912310","url":"https:\/\/dreamhouseldn.com\/products\/midori-hirano-the-juniper-tree","provider":"Dreamhouse Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
