on Bandcamp Friday it's nice to treat myself to a good soundtrack. Today it's Mark Jenkin's mesmerising drone score to his own film BAIT. One of the most interesting filmmakers working the UK for absolutely years, bold and creative and doing their own thing. @invadarecords.bsky.social

it's probably gorgeous in blu-ray, I just don't have a blu-ray player, and the film was only available in DVD when I got it. Some film's absolutely should be seen in HD.

I wonder, what is best way to view a film to benefits the filmmakers the most? I little understand the economics of how the money filters through and to whom, but have experience about how it works in the music industry. Cinema viewing? Pay per view stream? DVD?Or does it make any difference at all?

The Film in the Other Room @theotherroom.bsky.social · 13d

I don't have blu-ray! I have a not-particularly great DVD transfer. Someone has put up on youtube in HD I think, in the grey zone of whether that's good or bad.... but sometimes a grainier quality can even enhance something?

any more links between Zinovieff & Hine / this film?

The Film in the Other Room @theotherroom.bsky.social · 23d

fantastic info thanks @jegcomposer.bsky.social How do you know about the loan of the EMS gear? Rupert Hine (who did the electronic music for the film) ran his own studio (The Farmhouse?) which was v successful, I wondered if the kit in the film was all his…

@btlabel.bsky.social are you still interested in this soundtrack? Due to personal circumstances I never did send what I'd said, but are you perhaps still interested? 😀

Electronic sounds were by Rupert Hine, including the shout itself. Like Odysseus braving the Sirens, Hurt puts wax in his ears to hear what he craves. The processed roar combines with imposing visuals - Bates’s physical weight, dead sheep rolling down, wind sweeping and Hurt’s visible shock. 📽️🎥

The Shout (1978) - Sounds (Unintentional ASMR)

The Film in the Other Room @theotherroom.bsky.social · 28d

Recording sounds - marbles on a tin tray, bowing a cut up sardine tin, a wasp in a jar, a cigarette close to a mic - bring the wonder of aural detail behind musique concrète onto the screen, and take us right into Anthony’s flawed and focused mind. 📽️🎥

But the most central music in THE SHOUT comes from Anthony’s musique concrète studio. This is one of the most truthful onscreen depictions of a composer’s studio I’ve seen. Part Radiophonic Workshop part holiday home, it’s a creative space of reel-to-reel, delays and reverbs, scribbled notes. 📽️

Synthesiser music was composed by Tony Banks & Mike Rutherford, founding members of Genesis, but don’t let that put you off - it’s a suitably dreamlike, eerie score, carefully placed at key moments, and in line with film synth music of the period from the likes of Brian Eno or Tangerine Dream. 📽️

From The Undertow

The Film in the Other Room @theotherroom.bsky.social · 28d

Even before the horror-magic of the pivotal sounds (the shout, the scraping of bone, the close-up voice) we are in a pitch perfect audio world of heavy warmth, cricket, threatening thunder, woodpigeons, cows mooing, voices murmuring. Gorgeously rich voices - Alan Bates, Tim Curry, Robert Stephens.

The Film in the Other Room @theotherroom.bsky.social · 28d

Resolutely dreamlike in tone and plot, it rewards the viewer with wonderful unresolved feelings. Sound is used & edited with utmost care from the uncanny opening sequence onwards, surely one of the most effective evocations of an onscreen nightmare. It’s UK sound team was second-to-none.

THE SHOUT (Skolimowsky, 1978)
I never tire of this extraordinary film - electronic composer Anthony (John Hurt) encounters a sinister wanderer (Alan Bates) and follows the risk of his fascination with sound to hear a shout that supposedly kills people. It is in an elite of great films about sound.

In Blow-Up, Jeff Beck throws away the head of his guitar; outside the club, it is thrown away again. ‘So it is with Thomas’ experience,’ says Juli Kearns @idyllopus.bsky.social, ‘which has left him with a token that no one else can decipher, its meaning lost upon others, a useless artifact.’

From Antonioni's Blow-Up: having 'won' Jeff Beck's guitar neck and run outside with it, the photographer looks at it with disdain and discards it on the pavement. He is standing in front of a clothing shop whose windows are full of mannequins.

Antonioni used a large sound dept for the time. 9 people, some of whom worked on other sonically masterful films such as 2001, THE MAN WHO FELL TO EARTH, LA DOLCE VITA, & THE ELEPHANT MAN. And not forgetting THAT soundtrack, by the one & only Herbert (sic) Hancock. (BLOW UP 5/5) #filmsound 📽️
