Re: [Frameworks] Original soundtrack recordings of Avant-Garde films

Apologies if it’s been mentioned before (I took a quick glance at the reply thread) but Bobby Beausoleil made music for Kenneth Anger’s Lucifer Rising (1972). It’s quite compelling despite the musician’s, er, biography.

 

Also, along the same “deep ambient” spectrum of music, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma used to work with late Paul Clipson and if I recall one of his more recent albums is a tribute to the latter.

 

I would recommend using Discogs as a good database. Look at the labels associated with the soundtracks and try to see which version is available. Often, you might find unreleased cues/songs if you search for the most recent reissue.

Gunvor Nelson made the My Name is Oona soundtrack herself with some input from Patrick Gleeson.  Steve Reich was not involved, but his work had inspired the piece and he was a friend of Gunvor’s at the time.  

 

I think a lot of this common misconception comes from the film’s end credit, “Tack Patrick Gleeson / Steve Reich”, but “tack” is “thanks” in Swedish.

 

And I don’t believe it’s been released anywhere.

Greetings,

I don't know if this is on vinyl or CD, but Gunvor Nelson's film, "My Name is Oona," has a sound track by Steve Reich.

Best regards,

Chris Downing
