Nick Cave & Warren Ellis · Nick Cave (1957, Warracknabeal) and Warren Ellis (1965, Ballarat) both come from Australia. Cave became known with the post-punk band The Birthday Party and in 1983 founded Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. Ellis started the group Dirty Three in 1992 and shortly afterwards became a member of the Bad Seeds. He plays, among other instruments, violin, viola, piano and accordion. For The Proposition (2005), a Western in the Australian outback, Cave wrote the screenplay and together they made the music. Among others, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007), The Road (2009), Hell or High Water (2016) and Wind River (2017) followed. Ellis received a César in 2016 for his music for Mustang.

Listening

Listening tip. Notice the bare line-up of piano, violin and celesta, with short motifs that are often repeated and little harmonic movement, like a landscape that stays still.
