An imaginary motion picture soundtrack.
In 2018, Adam Wingard directed ɢᴏᴅᴢɪʟʟᴀ ᴠꜱ ᴋᴏɴɢ. I met Adam working on music for ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ ɴᴏᴛᴇ with Netflix. Before GVK was filmed, he asked me to write some music for his vision of Godzilla. There was a loose idea of what the film would be, but there was no script yet.
In my head, I heard sort of something between the original Godzilla composer Akira Ifukube and something akin to John Carpenter. I spent a few weeks composing and created about an hour of music.
Monsutā (Monster) is a condensed version of what I wrote as a concept before the film was made. This work is not part of the film and, until now, has never been heard.
Horror films were a huge influence on my early records, especially the Charles Park records. In 2017, I made a new track every day for the entire month of October. The result was a collection of giallo / horror inspired tracks that lived on Soundcloud for a while before they were taken down, when they just lived in a playlist on my hard drive. This month, I’m making the full album available for the first time via Bandcamp only.
Hopefully these tracks will provide a soundtrack to some night driving, street wandering, Halloween creeps.
