Orage (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) by Jordan Paul Rousseau is a full-body ache in slow motion. Itโs soaked in Mediterranean sun and goodbyes you didnโt see coming. From the first notes of โOrage (Main Theme)โ, Rousseau brings the music like a soft cinematic sigh, oceanic, airy, pulsing like waves kissing a shore they know theyโll have to leave. Thunder rumbles low in the background, to remind you that beauty never stays still. Itโs ambient, like grief dressed in black silk.
In โA Memory Of What We Hadโ, the atmosphere is ghostly but intimate, as if the clink of glass becomes a heartbeat echoing through a fogged-up memory. Rousseau sculpts silence and sound into a conversation between past and present. Then โThe Smoke Before The Stormโ cuts through like a sharp, matchstick strike, before dissolving into exhaled longing and tender, textured ambiance. Itโs smoky jazz without the swing, elegance without ego.
This is an emotional artifact. Rousseau draws from Lynch, Dali, and Jarmusch not just in tone, but in how he lets moments breathe. You feel the spaces between the notes as much as the melodies themselves. Every track is soaked in golden-hour melanchol. The whole album can actually resemble the vibes of a VHS tape recording that was left out in the sun just long enough to warp the sound into something strangely timeless.
With Orage, Rousseau has delivered a quiet masterstroke. Whether youโre nursing heartbreak, nostalgia, or just chasing a mood, this soundtrack will meet you there and leave you enchanted.
