‘Over The Moon’ is a reflection of the film’s themes, grief, nostalgia, and personal strength, through Rousseau’s signature style of hauntingly simple melodies and atmospheric soundscapes. Known for his minimalist approach, Rousseau has crafted an instrumental soundtrack that speaks volumes with very few notes, echoing the emotional depth and rawness of the protagonist’s journey. Drawing inspiration from nature and the quiet moments of life, Rousseau’s compositions envelop the listener in a meditative and emotional experience. With ‘Over The Moon’, Rousseau once again proves his ability to create evocative soundtracks that leave lasting impressions. The album promises to be a beautiful addition to the world of cinematic scores, capturing the essence of the film’s emotional journey and giving it an intimate, timeless musical backdrop.
Jordan Paul Rousseau’s career began with a piano performance by his great-grandmother that sparked his lifelong passion for music. A versatile musician and composer, Rousseau has played in various bands, toured internationally, and written music for other artists. However, it was the loss of his great-grandmother that led him back to the piano, where he began to compose his own music. Inspired by nature’s sounds and the beauty of silence, Rousseau’s minimalistic style conveys deep emotional messages with the simplest of compositions.
In 2022, Rousseau’s career in film music soared when he won the Best Composer award at the Cannes Film Awards for his work on Burn the Time. He continued his success in 2023 by winning the Best Composer of the Future award at Cannes, establishing himself as a leading figure in the independent film industry. Beyond film, Rousseau has made a name for himself as a top sound designer in the fashion industry, providing soundscapes for high-profile brands such as Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Tom Ford, and Burberry. His work has been featured in major fashion publications like Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and ICON. Rousseau’s distinct blend of cinematic scoring and sound design has earned him recognition across multiple industries, making him one of the most innovative and sought-after composers of his generation.
