Fatima Al Qadiri On Her Shimmering and Foreboding Atlantics Score
Entertainment
Scoring Mati Diop’s genre-smashing, boundary-breaking Atlantics (a Jezebel favorite) pushed Fatima Al Qadiri out of her comfort zone, the electronic composer and conceptual artist says in this installment of Jezebel Quickies. Though known best for her frenetic, beat-heavy works, her Atlantics score floats more on the ambient tip. But that doesn’t mean it’s uniformly chill. It’s humid with longing and doom, a multifaceted approach to a movie whose tone is in perpetual flux.
