Israel Musical Landscape
Lumb & Giancola  

The Quiet American
Craig Armstrong

The Quiet American, with its longing vocals and emotive pentatonic chords, provided much of the inspiration for our editing.  Composers Janet Lumb and Dino Giancola contributed with their soulful Song of the Exile, which became the title track, eventually providing the title for our first film. To give the profiles of the two youngest Wong daughters a sense of youth and urbanity, young Toronto composer Aaron Tsang threw into the mix his Tel Aviv Techno, the same kind of music I heard while walking around Tel Aviv's trendy seafront district and the bars and cafés on Dizengoff Street.
