the score

The Score

Video killed the radio star, apparently. But with (find stat - more people tuning in to radio than ever) this is not true. And as music soundtracks* our life from radio or any other source, so to it soundtracks the video now ubiquitous in our multimedia world.

*we aren't pitching a 'soundtrack' show

Celebrating the music that

Re-creating the vibes of particular storyworlds. Painting aural portraits of directors and their characters

Music, like a scent, is a sensory shortcut for memory.

Gespar Noe
Irreversible
Irreversible's soundtrack composed by Thomas Bangalter"Outrun" and "Ventura" were previously released on Bangalter's Trax on da Rocks EP while "Extra Dry" had appeared in Trax on da Rocks Vol.2The film uses extremely low frequency sound during the opening 20 to 30 minutes to create a state of disorientation and unease in the audience, including during the nine-minute rape scene.









Enter the Void
Noé initially asked the Daft Punk member Thomas Bangalter, who had composed the music for Irréversible, to create an original soundtrack for Enter the Void. Bangalter was occupied with work on Tron: Legacy and had to decline. As a compromise, he provided Noé with an arrangement of ambient sounds and samples from existing experimental music, from which Noé compiled what he envisioned as "a maelstrom of sounds."[25] One of the sources of inspiration was "Revolution 9" by The Beatles, a sound collage which Noé describes as a work "where you catch the beginning of a note, or of a melody and then it's already somewhere else."[25] The two main musical themes of the film are "Freak" by the British electro artist LFO, which is played during the opening credits, and a recording by Delia Derbyshire of Johann Sebastian Bach's "Air on the G String", which serves as the theme for Oscar's childhood and his relationship with Linda. The beginning of "ANS" by the British band Coil is heard during Oscar's first DMT trip. The Throbbing Gristle song "Hamburger Lady" plays as Oscar tries to deliver drugs to Victor at the bar. Other songs on the soundtrack include Toshiya Tsunoda's "Music for Baby", Alvin Lucier's "Music for Gamelan Instruments, Microphones, Amplifiers and Loudspeakers", and works by Denis SmalleyLullatone, and Zbigniew Karkowski.[25]


opening sequence LFO 'Freak'

Delia Derbyshire 'Air'
From the BBC radiophonic workshop, music geeks jizz over this woman. Having looked through NTS's programming they jizz over the sort of people who jizz over this woman. This tune is repeated throughout the film and so it could be used in this section to underlay general chat about Noe. Serves a purpose AND looks good on the tracklist!


Music Videos

SebastiAn 'Love in Motion'
Begins as a traditional Ed Banger using SebastiAn's 'Mean Games' but then flips to an totally cool head nodding electro groover!
In typical Noe style the video is controversial. It depicts a scantily clad pre-teen girl seductively dancing around her bedroom. Is it paedophilia? Or is it just a young girl doing what many do in their room mimicking super-sexualized performances of pop stars? Sexual deviance or social commentary on the  art form of music videos themselves?

SebastiAn = Worked as a producer for artists Kavinsky, as a film-music composer, and as a remix artist for bands such as Daft Punk. (Kavinsky obvs featured in Drive OST and Daft Punk did Tron.) In 2007, SebastiAn composed the soundtrack for label-mate Mr. Oizo's feature film Steak alongside Sebastien Tellier and Mr. Oizo himself. SebastiAn also acted in the film, playing the role of Félix. (Discogs tracklist for Mr Oizo's 'Steak' film)

Air

Air fall into this French electronic artists late 90s early 2000s
Air have often collaborated with American film director Sofia Coppola. They composed the music to her debut film The Virgin Suicides in 2000. Air drummer and former Redd Kross member Brian Reitzell put together the soundtrack to 2003's Lost in Translation, including one original contribution by Air titled "Alone In Kyoto". The soundtrack for Coppola's October 2006 film Marie Antoinette featured a track by Air ("Il Secondo Giorno").
Air wrote and played the music of the album 5:55 by French actress and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, which was released in August 2006.

Lost in translation
The film's soundtrack, supervised by Brian Reitzell, was released by Emperor Norton Records on September 9, 2003. It includes five songs by Kevin Shields, including one from his group My Bloody ValentineAllmusic gave the soundtrack 4/5 stars (four out of five stars), saying "Coppola's impressionistic romance Lost in Translation features an equally impressionistic and romantic soundtrack that plays almost as big a role in the film as Bill Murray and Scarlett Johansson do."[21]

Cerrone

Cerrone continued using pieces of photographic and audio erotica when he released his second album, Cerrone's Paradise. It was recorded with Raymond Donnez, also known as "Don Ray", as part of his arrangement entourage after parting company with Costandinos. The original French album cover featured a naked model draped over the top of a fridge with a jar of white powder spilled in front of it. The U.S. release featured a photo of Cerrone wearing a Hawaiian shirt.
His third album, Supernature (Cerrone III) sold over eight million albums worldwide.[citation needed] A departure from the lush orchestration with electronic instrumentation added to the mix, it was co-written by Alain Wisniak. The lyrics to "Supernature", written by Lene Lovich, have a sci-fi theme: it's about the rebellion of mutant creatures – created by scientists to end starvation among mankind – against the humans. The album also featured "Sweet Drums", a three-minute-and-ten-second drum breakdown. The original French album cover was again different, having a gatefold opening with nudes in the centre. The music itself was the same.
"Supernature" was used as the theme music to Thames TV's The Kenny Everett Video Show (as well as being danced to by Hot Gossip in the same show), which was shown across the UK.
--The Kenny Everett video show itself was a tv programme presenting music and comedy.


Cerrone then ventured into movie scoring, supplying the music score for Brigade Mondaine, a French film. Alternate mixes of his hits were made, such as "Give Me Love", "Phonic" (originally released as a 12" single on the Crocos label), and "Striptease". The latter was an underground hit, introduced to international audiences through the Disconet subscription service for DJs. It was a key inclusion on "Cerrone by Bob Sinclar".

- Stoke Newington
- Spent 4years writing about music for Yorkshire's version of Time Out - The Leeds Guide (joining the editorial team shortly after NTS presenter Ruth Saxelby left her Club's Editor post to move to London).
- At the post house working with commercials all day I hear the audio over and over and the tunes stick in my head. Licensing is a vital source of income for musicians and advertisers choose their music very carefully as part of a highly contrived commercial. They are effective in quickly creating an immediate response. They can sometimes annoyingly stick in your head. They can be used to latch on to trendy. The Toyota ads are an abomination of Hip Hop





Saatchi & Saatchi don't have a fucking clue and why advertising agencies make me want to vom:
