L.U.C.: Music for the painted adaptation of “The Peasants”

Four years of intensive work, over 100 artists who spent over 200,000 hours creating paintings in four studios: in Poland, Ukraine, Serbia and Lithuania. The Peasants, directed by DK Welchman and Hugh Welchman, a fully painted animated feature film, offers new insights into the prose of Władysław Reymont. The music for the film was created by Łukasz L.U.C. Rostkowski, inspired by the broad folk soundscape of Central and Eastern Europe. In his work, the composer used folk instruments: the suka of Biłgoraj, the Płock fidel, the hurdy-gurdy and bagpipes.
