Jennifer 8 Soundtrack [1992-2012]



In the early 90's, the serial killer genre had taken off to new heights of success thanks to the Academy Award winning thrillers, The Silence of the Lambs and Basic Instinct. The celluloid world would see even more and inventive ones such as Se7en and Copycat years later, there was one that unfortunately wasn't successful but still a thoughtful and enjoyable one in the genre, which is Jennifer 8.  The film stars Andy Garcia, as John Berlin a former L.A. detective who after a bitter divorce and stress in his old job relocates to Eureka, a small northern California town thanks to his friend and partner (Lance Henriksen) and as soon as he arrives, a murder has taken place. With a reputation of being a troublemaker, Berlin soon finds himself embroiled in a cold missing persons case resembling a recent murder that's already taken place which leads him to meet Helena (Uma Thurman), a blind cellist who's roommate has gone missing and maybe the victim Berlin's investigating. Soon he falls for Helena hard and risks everything to protect her as well as find the killer while batting scrutny from his co-workers and one tough interrogator St.Anne (John Malkovich). The film was written and directed by Bruce Robinson, who made the recent Johnny Depp comedy, The Rum Diary.

Music written by Chris Young except "Humming Song (From Madame Butterfly)" (Giacomo Puccini) and "Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht" (F. Gruber/J. Mohr).

Christopher Young's score for this detective thriller is based on slow, contemplative piano figures augmented with strings in the wistful, ominous, and threatening tones consistent with the movie's theme. Bits of "Madame Butterfly" and "Silent Night" fill out the score.

White Fang Soundtrack [1991-2012]


Treat for Basil Poledouris and Hans Zimmer fans! World premiere 2-CD release of both composer's powerful soundtracks for Randal Kleiser filming of Jack London's outdoor boy & wolf tale WHITE FANG, presented by Walt Disney Pictures, starring Ethan Hawke, Klaus Maria Brandauer, James Remar.

CD1 offers rich, evocative score by Poledouris, given primary credit in finished film. Stately main theme in major key anchors, while numerous motifs, smaller ideas create multi-layered musical tapestry of turn-of-the-19th-century gold prospecting in Alaska. In contrast are sequences both frightening, tender. Several cues never before heard add depth to impressive score. But there's much more!

CD2 offers second score by Hans Zimmer, much of it also featured in film, with completely different thematic material spotlighting composer's then new meld of symphony with synthesizer. Early-ish Zimmer score offers perhaps his largest-scale scoring to that date. Powerful themes, aggressive action, rhythmic adventure, tingling suspense, gentle warmth... it's all here! And there's still more: also find exciting "Bear Attack" co-written by Shirley Walker & Zimmer as well as additional cues by Fiachra Trench. Finally, numerous saloon source cues composed by Poledouris round out lengthy 2-CD package. Newly-mixed and presented in dynamic stereo from both 24-track analog masters (format of choice for Poledouris), 32-track digital masters (format of choice for Zimmer), all vaulted in mint condition at Disney. Beautiful booklet design by Joe Sikoryak includes complete cue assembly & composer details for both scores plus informative notes from Jeff Bond. Two exciting scores from the same movie, available at last! Basil Poledouris conducts his score, recorded in Burbank, Shirley Walker conducts Hans Zimmer's score, recorded at Air-Edel Studios in London.

Silent World

   

"Silent World," a photography project by Parisian artists Lucie & Simon, takes the most crowded parts of New York City, Paris, and Beijing, and alters them in a basic (but technically incredible difficult) way. We recognize Times Square, Columbus Circle, and more landmarks from our own hometown, but only barely--those usually people-clogged landmarks are now empty, totally bereft of the swarms of tourists and locals alike that give those areas their personality.
