The origin of Air’s forthcoming LP, Le Voyage Dans La Lune, was a restoration of the iconic French film of the same name, a cinematic landmark created by Georges Méliès in 1902. The French electronic duo was asked to compose a modern score for a restored, hand-colored version of the film, and that original 16-minute composition blossomed into a full-length (which includes the recently posted “Seven Stars“). Down below, check out a clip of the new version of Le Voyage Dans La Lune scored by Air, after the jump.

Le Voyage Dans La Lune is out 2/7 on Astralwerks.

that’s the movie that they showed in Hugo!
sounds like a good idea
I’d have to see the whole thing, but from the clip I’m not so sure the music really fits. There is a very specific vibe to silent film scores…it would have been cool if Air utilized that a bit. You know…make it modern. It just sound like…well…how Air usually sounds.
