Died last week, only 48. Nice article on him here: https://www.residentadvisor.net/features/3178

Soundtrack to Arrival was incredible. Still haven't got round to watching Sicario, so must do that.

And now having heard the "IBM 1401 Processing Unit"  piece on there, I think I'm going to have to buy that. Wow.

Yes, saw that over the weekend. I wasn't aware that he did film soundtracks though as I'd bought IBM1401 and Fordlandia when they were released 10+ years ago.

I saw this the other day. Decided against starting a thread as, well, as a rule, stw are pretty uncultured... 😉

saw it on dangerous minds

I did however order the IBM cd (and a couple of others). Might even be delivered today.

didn't realise his soundtrack for Bladerunner 2049 was knocked back.

as a complete aside I'm lookin for a minimalist piece called constellations (reputedly by an Icelandic composer...)?

Didn't realise he'd done Arrival.  Fordlandia is a lovely piece of work as well.

Erm... yeah. But there’s not a big alt.country/grime crossover (yet). I’m keeping my powder dry.

have you looked in on the EURef/Brexit thread lately.. 🙀

sadly no cd(s) today.

eta to rid the <span> shite

Sicario is a truly mesmerising soundtrack and is more than half the film's impact.

Read the obituary and thought it sounded interesting so listened to a bit on Spotify. And now. Won't bother with any more. Sounds like what it mostly is -film soundtrack music to fill your ears while something happens on the screen. Not enough to stand on its own.

My 2 cents. Now back to grime.

IBM, Orphee and Fordlandia all arrived today. Sounds like my kind of thing thus far (Orphee down, IBM started).

decided to give Sicaro and Arrival a go...
