Discarded Sound for a Film by Audio Obscura published on 2016-08-25T20:20:44Z This track is part of Disquiet Junto 0243 - a sort of Bladerunner spoof. As it happens I am currently working on a soundtrack at the moment, which is keeping me busy and with it being August (holidays etc..) I have not been around to 'do the junto' for a while. The film I am scoring is part art project and part documentary on psychogeogrpahy and 'edgelands', its also about the state of planning and of industrial decline, its 90 minutes long and due in early 2017. In a way its not a million miles away from some ideas that underpin Bladerunner - not artistically but philosophically speaking. Personally I find the 'famous' bladerunner' soundtrack a bit dated and never understood the adoration it still gets - saying that when I first heard it circa 1992 I was impressed. Anyway I feel I am in a soundtrack state of mind these last few months so having a free evening it seems I should have a go. At the outset I would say about 40% of this track was already made - the ambient textures and deep tones you hear are sounds / things I had been doing for the soundtrack and sort of discarded already so they were lying around ready for another use. I loaded them up and did a bit of editing and then did a sort of Vangelis-esq free improvisation drive-by over the top of (the lighter echo synth sounds and pulse type sound) and that was it really. (There is a short 30 minute edit / work in progress of the film soundtrack I am working on here...https://vimeo.com/173036846) (Step 1: As you now know, Jóhann Jóhannsson was selected to score Blade Runner 2. The news means, among other things, that you didn’t get the gig. Please reconcile yourself with this. Step 2: Please share your favorite track from the audition tape you sent to Ridley Scott.

Well yes the picture was the one that the 'Disquiet Junto' used for this track project which was to make a spoof blade runner soundtrack...

The scene from which the photo is taken is an early scene in the film in which Leon, a replicant, is questioned. The "test" performed on replicants is to see if there is any involuntary dilation of the pupils. This confirms if they are in fact a replicant. One of the questions that Leon is asked is the above.

Love the gentle pushing and pulling, opening and closing. Should be a powerful score if this hit the cutting room floor. 2016-08-28T01:33:17Z Comment by 337is (three three seven is) I want to form a free-improv ensemble called "Vangelis Drive By" 2016-08-28T01:32:01Z Comment by Mood Exhibit this is quite an ominous beauty Neil.
